This attorney has couth. First and foremost, he calls you back. You always get a call back. His court manner is impressive. In a court room, there tends to be much emotion but Bryon is very even. He is always focused on the case at hand. Always prepared and meticulous about scheduling time to prep with you before court. Always listening. He catches everything. Cross-examination is very textbook-like. It's like you're watching the professor. It's about the case and the law and nothing else. He helps you, as a client, try to understand both sides. Which is not exactly what we want, but perhaps need. He is excellent at breaking down each issue within the case, individually and discussing the "ifs" and "possible outcomes" with you. "Think before speaking" In my particular case, he has come in as attorney #3 and 18 months into the case. It's been a nightmare and still on-going. It is a custody case involving a former step-parent versus a real parent and many, many other difficult challenges. As the court has required me to communicate with my ex; Bryon has helped pave a way of communication that is tolerable and limited with the former spouse. It's not about how often we communicate it's about the quality of the communication. My case is quite complex. And most attorneys want nothing to do with it. Most hear the synopsis over the phone; laugh hysterically; suddenly have better things to do; or a referral comes rather quickly. It's the nature of the case, the previous multiple attorneys, the judge, and opposing counsel. But Bryon isn't scared of it nor is he arrogant about it. He's a reasonable man with an incredible logic, good heart, quick wit, knowledge of the law and knowledge of how some people play this ridiculous game.

I have known and been a client of Mr. Szojchet for the past 6 years. He is a man who really cares about his clients and their children. He is always very responsive and available. He comes highly recommended. I have referred Mr. Szojchet to friends whom also needed his services and have heard nothing but great feedback.

It is my great pleasure to write this review for Bryon. I've worked with Bryon on a number of occasions and come to rely heavily on his sound legal advice. His has been transparent, communicative and thorough in his recommendations. But what I like most in working with Bryon is that he doesn't give just legal advice, he gives life advice. Bryon always kept me on track about the issues and kept the process smooth. In conclusion, not only would I recommend his services to those I don't know, I have already personally recommended him to a number of those I do. Thank you Bryon.

I was in a very bad situation involving long standing marriage with house and savings not in my name.. There were his children, my children, and our children to contend with. Mr. Szojchet navigated this complex situation with firmness, patience and understanding. He seemed to have an understanding of every member of the family and was able to talk to them, extracting necessary information. He persisted in his position through discussions and into the courtroom. In the end i got the whole settlement i wanted without making enemies. I still have dialogue with most of the other members of the family, but now from a position of strength., He is experienced and knowledgeable in these things and i highly recommend him.

He put me at ease with his great knowledge of what would happen, and what might happen, and in what order. He spent hours preparing me for the hearings both on the phone and in his office. He was very responsive to all communications from me and / or Rebecca ( my ex-wife.) He helped me to try to deal with my children in a positive way despite what the divorce was doing to them. His advise in this area was invaluable, particularly with my sons. He kept me informed of the meaning of all developments. He was very responsive and effective in dealing with the court.

To whom it may concern. I used mr. Brian services for a divorce process. Mr. Brian made a painful experience to a easy fast process. In the future with any legal issue that I have i will defiantly use his services again. And feel free to recommend to all my friends. Thank you Marija

This lawyer was recommended to me through an organization, but I had heard positive things about him beforehand as well. He is a remarkable individual, role model of integrity, trust and values. I hired him for a separation agreement and the job was endless, requiring changes after changes after changes and dragged over 6 months. Bryon was always there for me, and dealt with my case with a fresh and honest outlook, telling me the truth as it is and finally my situation came to terms just a few days ago. He always returned my phone calls and charged me a very honest. I was very happy with his professional expertise.

I hired Bryon to help me with a nightmare child support case. I make approx. $15k a year and the opposing party in my case made over $195k a year. Due to this, my child support was delayed for over two years by my ex and his counsel until I got attorney Bryon. He was very good, patient, and really cares about the client. He made my ex look like a liar that he is during trial and ultimately, Bryon got me over $39K in back child support and he got me all of the attorney fees that I paid to him. In addition, Bryon got my son over $3,400 a month in child support; prior to hiring Byron, my son was not receiving enough money to cover the monthly day care costs. Again, great attorney, did excellent during trial and was well prepared. I would definitely recommend this attorney and for those women clients, Bryon has a background in domestic violence so he really understands and advocates for women.

i hired this attorney a year ago after dealing with another attorney who handled my family custody case very poorly.this man has taken a very tough case and sorted out all of the mess that my previously hired lawyer had started, his rates are more than fair and he even was very sensitive to my financial needs as we all know how family cases are extremely exspensive he even put me on an affordable payment plan and started my case before paid in full which was extremely generous due to the scope of work being way more than we bargained for rather than charge me more and more he continued with his end of the contract with a smile and took every new challenge that presented itself and executed it with confidence he has been a mentor,teacher,counseler.and has worn many different hats to solve my family law problem I will and have already passed his name on to anyone in need of a family lawyer and whats more HE ANSWERS MY PHONE CALLS ive called him late at night and he took my call and would talk to me until my concerns have been dealt with just an awesome guy I would recommend him to anyone being a father himself he was truly sensitive to my needs thanks brian you have been wonderful

I paid Bryon thousands of dollars for nothing , didn't do his job and he was not prepared for anything. There were so many things that he did not do! Just the basic of family law, he did not know. He didn't speak to my witness and the other party did more speaking in court then he did. If you don't want to lose your case and money, Do Not Use Him!

When i was going through my child custody battle with my ex, I didn't know who to turn to. After doing some research I came across the name of Attorney Bryon Szojchet. Finding him was a great blessing to my life. Putting aside the fact that his rates were more then reasonable especially for someone like me ( a strict budget), he was very comforting. He kept me in the loop on the entire process from start to finish. He always returned my calls and emails in a greatly appreciated timely fashion. He let me know I could count on him. At the end of it all I gained what I wanted out of the case plus a new friend. Bryon is not only a wonderful lawyer but a wonderful person in general. He knows what he is doing and he knows how to work with many types of people. I do not know who the other people are that wrote reviews, nor will I say horrible things about them. I will say however that they probably wrote about the wrong man. I would definitely recommend him to everyone who needs a strong attorney to fight for their needs in the family law court systems.
