Not only did Mr.Byars sound the most confident out of all the lawyers i spoke with, he in fact gave better projections for what he felt was possible and stuck to his word. Not only did he predict and achieve better results than any other lawyer i talked to in Cookeville, but he also saved me thousands compared to others who weren't even sure they could keep me out of a jail cell. The only Putnam county lawyer to consider.

I needed my record expunged before applying to graduate school. I had multiple charges from years ago, which made the paperwork difficult to do on my own. I hired Gordon to expunge my record. He filed the paperwork almost immediately. I checked my record a few weeks after, and my record was clear. I feel confident in hiring Gordon Byars if a future need arises. He is very personable, intelligent, and works swiftly to get your issues resolved.

Gordon was my defense attorney and he was GREAT, he got me a great deal with pre-trial diversion, so everything will come off my record. He saved my career!

If you need someone who won't judge you and who knows his stuff... this is your guy right here. I had a meeting with him and instantly felt 100% better even though I had also found out I could afford him at the same time. You can bet your sweet cheeks if they did an installment plan or I had the $2k I would be standing at the door the moment they opened.

I approached Gordon about renegotiating a family legal matter in which the settlement terms were stacked heavily against me. From our first meeting, Gordon's expertise and his fresh perspective gave me the confidence to move forward with my case. Gordon was approachable, personable, and informed throughout the proceedings. He guided me thoroughly through every phase of our case, from petitioning the court right on through discovery and the trial itself. He shared his knowledge and experience about the law and the community to help inform my decisions. He helped me to achieve a more favorable outcome than I ever thought possible. I don't believe I ever would have gotten the same result without him.

GREAT JOB ON A CHILD CUSTODY CASE. OUTCOME FAIR TO EVERYBODY. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECOMMENDING HIM TO OTHERS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. VERY PERSONABLE AND DID NOT RUSH US OUT OF THE OFFICE. AN A+ ATTORNEY IN OUR FAMILY'S OPINION.

Mr. Byars has worked diligently with me to help me, help my nephew with his criminal case. He has made recommendations for treatment facilities and represented my nephew to help him get approved to get into them. He is not only an excellent attorney, who takes time to strategically approach issues, he cares about people.

Gordon Byars is a wonderful attorney. I needed an attorney, called his office and he called me in for a free consultation. I hired him immediately. He is very professional, and works hard for his clients. I recommend Mr. Byars to anyone that needs a good honest, hard working attorney.
