I was told by several people that I needed to hire Bryan for my divorce case. I know why now! As soon as he got in my case, my ex-husband started backing down. All the threats stopped and we were able to get my case over very quickly. I have no doubt it was because of Bryan's great reputation of being the best divorce lawyer in town!! I am out of a bad marriage in a great way! Recommend him to anyone who wants the best!

Bryan Brinyark is a wonderful, Christian man who happens to be the best lawyer in Tuscaloosa. During my divorce, he made me feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. Believe me, he is the one you want fighting for you Great Job. Thanks Bryan.

During the most painful time of my life, Bryan was salve on an open wound. He was professional, calming, reassuring and encouraging. I trusted him and I had complete confidence in his abilities as a divorce lawyer. Bryan's professionalism, intelligence and upbeat personality, along with positive results made this painful season of divorce as good as it could be. I made an excellent choice in hiring Bryan.

At the beginning of my divorce I felt so helpless. I did not know which attorney to choose. I considered and even used an attorney from Bham. My story is way too long to share on this site but I will say after my experience with a few attorneys, I regret that I didn't BEGIN WITH BRYAN!! He is not only an attorney but he is a "counselor." He gives more than divorce advice, he gives one hope, encouragement and support. And he did so in a way that gave me perspective, peace and a night of sleep! Don't let his calm demeanor confuse you, that is what makes him the best attorney. When needed he can be the "bulldog" you want in deposition mediation and the court room. I've experienced it on all the different levels. The judges here in Tuscaloosa respect him and "like" him! Bryan continues to help me as needed. His fee is reasonable and fair. "You do get what you pay for," but with him you get so much more! I'm so thankful to have him on my team!! Bryan Brinyark is a name that comes highly recommended and sought after as the top attorney in Tuscaloosa. He is the one you want on your side before you begin your battle! Again, 5 STARS FOR THESE REASONS!!

Bryan is a FANTASTIC Lawyer! He was compassionate and encouraging throughout my divorce, and continues to be supportive whenever needed. I am SO GLAD he was able to LEAVE the "BIG FIRM" and my wallet is even happier!! Divorce is a tough time... Bryan is just the attorney who feels like a friend, fights like a tiger and the person you want on your side to help you through the most difficult time in life! Many THANKS to a great attorney!

Went to Bryan for my divorce. He was able to get me through the worst time of my life. He was very professional. Always let me know what was likely to happen and guided me to a settlement that worked well for my situation. He knew what and when to do everything. The other lawyer clearly did not want to go to trial. Got the case completed much sooner than I dreamed possible. Great lawyer during a bad time. THANK YOU BRYAN !

I can't say nothing but good things about Bryan and how he has helped me in my situation. He is very knowledgeable, and being that I'm out of state, kept me well informed about the case at all times. I would recommend Bryan to anyone who needs a lawyer that really cares about them. Thanks Bryan and thanks as well to your team. Great job!!

Bryan Brinyark is a rarity among divorce attorneys: he'll try to talk you out of it if he can. He's a committed Christian and truly hates to see marriages end if they can be saved. However, if your spouse is a lowdown, cheating creep and you truly need to get out, he will fight for you like a pit bull! He's one of the nicest guys in town and everyone likes him (well, unless they had to go against him in court and got their tails handed to them, then maybe not!). He is smart as a whip and kind and understanding. I can't say enough good things about him. Go with Bryan if you need a lawyer. He will take good care of you.

Bryan comes Highly recommended from other attorneys that i interviewed before i made my choice. However I have been nothing but disappointed from his lack of professionalism and performance. His handling of my divorce has been nothing short of his practice laughing all the way to the bank. He talks a big talk but cowers to other attorneys making himself look weak and nonconfrontational. The review from Feb 27 2015 nails it! You get little or no response from phone calls and emails but beware you will be billed relentlessly for them! I am also very suspicious of the many positive reviews on AVVO for Bryan. He obviously spends time answering questions on here and it should be of concern that several positive reviews happen on the same day he has posted legal help. How convenient. If i could give less than 1 star I would.

Makes big claims about what he can and will do to achieve your ends, but does not deliver. Does not communicate clearly and concisely. Often does not respond to questions in emails, but charges you for the email anyway. Some filings contained spelling and grammar errors. Is polite, to a fault: his politeness prevents him from advocating for the client; he seems afraid to offend the lawyers on the other side. On trial day he hushed me when I asked him to specify a key detail in the settlement papers. He will drag it out and take you to the bank. Ka-ching!
