Phil has been a tremendous help in a very difficult situation. He was caring, knowledgable, and a very credible entity with tge court system. I would recommend him for any case.
We approached Atty. Byers as we needed assistance with clearing up some documents for a family member in order to sell a house. He listened to what we needed and set up a plan to get everything accomplished quickly so the sale could close on time. He was composed and always ready to handle any unexpected issues that arose. His dedication to his profession and drive to assist his clients to the fullest are just a part of what makes him such a great attorney.
After having a horrible experience with my first attorney, Phil was able to help guide me through a 3 year custody battle and help correct some terrible mistakes made by the system. The dedication to my case was such a breath of fresh air, and I'm so thankful for everything he and Linda were able to do for me to be able to get a fair outcome for my son's custody. 10/10 service and highly recommend!
Without Philip Byers’s help I would’ve never got my grandchildren back from DCF. He was kind, considerate and the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever met. I thank God for him every day!l
I originally went to Attorney Byers for advice and representation on a probate matter. I was quite shaken up at the time and wasn’t sure there was even a case worth pursuing. He did an excellent job of putting my worries at ease and explaining all of my options. He took time to explain anything I didn’t understand. His compassion, advice and knowledge of the law were very impressive and the result he achieved for me was more than I ever expected. I have since used Attorney Byers for other legal matters and would highly recommend him.
Attorney Byers represented me in a paternity matter and did an excellent job. He took time to explain the laws and what my rights were and was very patient with me during this difficult process. He is an extremely competent attorney and I personally feel he is the best family law attorney in the area and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a paternity attorney.
I cannot say enough good things about attorney Byers. He helped me and my family through a very difficult divorce case and we are forever grateful for his hard work and professionalism. His knowledge and experience shined in the court room and it was obvious how highly respected he is by the judges. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a family law attorney.
My girls were taken out of state by their mother. She said they were never coming back. I called around and spoke to other lawyers and they all kept saying how hard of a case this was going to be. And obviously concentrated on getting 5k to 10k retainer without giving me any hope what so ever. I spoke to Phil and he said to come on in so we can get the kids back to the Commonwealth ASAP. Phil said he would make her return and he did. She was in the process of getting a fraudulent restraining order against me in another state because I was not there to defend myself. Phil reached out to someone that is a member of a huge association he is a member of. The lawyer defended my position and served her the same day. The kids were back in Mass a few days later and we had our day in court! Needless to say it was a very good outcome. Living in a state that is notorious for favoring the mother, makes me feel lucky to have found Phil. I can't end this without mentioning Phil's staff. (Especially Valerie!) EVERYONE in the office is a joy to deal with. Bottom line is Phil gets results. Period. Side Note: After a while the ex and I started speaking on a somewhat civil manner. She told me that she had such a hard time getting a lawyer on such short notice. She said the lawyer she really wanted refused the case because she told him that Phil was my lawyer and he didn't want the case to affect his win loss ratio!
Atty Byers did excellent work on 2 Modifications of Alimony, which I was paying $670.00 per week and I presently am not paying anything. I am a retired Atty.and this burden has been lifted. Phil was very efficent and always responsive to all calls etc.
