I would like to say that my experience by the Byrnes Law Firm exceeded my expectations for the services that they provided for me. The service they handled was in a timely manner very professionally handled. Thank you

They have been extraordinary helpful with my Business. Jim Yontz is a legend and an encyclopedia of knowledge. They stopped a scammer from ripping me off by being a great law firm. They have let me use their conference room for my business when I needed it. They are amazing human beings, not just a great law firm!

Laurel is by far the most professional lawyer I've ever met! She cares about her clients and it definitely shows!

I couldn’t have made it through the process if I didn’t have Laurel by my side. Thank you for your many years of service. You’ve guided me when I’ve needed you most.

Laurel’s legal support and guidance has been instrumental while I navigated a sensitive and difficult divorce. She provided me with the necessary information throughout the process to ensure that my child and I were protected. From the beginning, Laurel validated all my concerns and provided me with the best advice based on her knowledge and experience. I had a lot of questions, and while not all of them were answered (understandably), I was always given direction and provided with necessary answers. Throughout the process, I remained informed of all court proceedings and was copied on all communications. Laurel always seemed well prepared for hearings and spoke knowledgeably on my behalf. My expenses have been more than I anticipated, but I believe that all the billed charges are fair and are just a result of the process itself. I would highly recommend Laurel for anyone who is seeking legal counsel.

I’m very displeased with how the situation is with Laurel she only cares about her money. I was represented by Laurel for 5 years and not once did she stand in a court hearing mediation or anything as representation for me. The one court hearing I had she said she was unaware of but charged me for her preparing for that hearing. I have made countless payments and racked up a bill over the years and I have done everything she asked. It has been over five years and have not made any progress with Laurel as my attorney except a bill and the feeling my daughter will never be with me. she will milk you for every penny she can get. Also she will not communicate with you very well and treat you like scum of the earth.

Laurel helped me through a a very contentious emergency matter recently. I only had 5 days to unload years worth of history to her and had to completely put my entire life, family and trust in her hands. I actually have a legal background myself and was so profoundly impressed with how she handled herself in and out of Court. Her performance in Court was some of the best I’ve ever seen with respect to her ability to think on her toes, recall my case information (she’d only just learned of herself), and overall expert knowledge and understanding of the law. I can’t recommend her enough and am so unbelievably grateful I’ve retained her and have her in my corner now moving forward.

Laurel was a complete waste of time and money pit. She lied to me several times about motions she was filing for me, confused me with other clients, emailed me other clients information, failed to schedule mediation, then didn't show up to mediation, screwed up communication, took monthly vacations, and then after I fired her she tried charging me a flat fee for something she included and threatened to take me to collections. I'm shocked she doesn't have worse ratings, honestly. The time she wanted has caused my case long term damage. Stay away if you have anything important on the line.

Laurel has been my attorney for the past 3 years. We have a long case history, and it has been high conflict. Laurel has helped me in more ways than I could ever describe. My cases history included a PPO, multiple DV convictions, child abuse and neglect, child support, contempt and normal custody proceedings. Laurel has represented me in multiple emergency restriction hearings, contempt citations and trials, and done amazing and right by my children and I in all of them. Laurel deeply cares about her clients, and it is evident in how she represents you. I came to her off of a recommendation from 2 friends, and have since sent 4 more her way. I trust her with our lives, and she has been a fantastic advocate to keep in our corner. Ted and Jim, the other attorneys in the firm have been a fantastic resource and help during the last several years as well. The other Jim that works here has served my ex too many times to count, and has ensured integrity of devices that have been moved between my ex and I's houses. Selene, the paralegal is always helpful, professional and kind during what is often the worst of times for clients. Overall, I have been extremely happy with Laurel as my representation the past 3 years. I hope to keep her as long as I need her!

It’s really hard to take a lawyer seriously when they can’t use proper punctuation, they spell their own clients’ name wrong, and blatantly lie as an intimidation tactic. Not sure how she passed the bar, but there are better lawyers for less money out there. Save your time and money, run away from this nightmare of an “attorney”.
