You won’t find a better lawyer! Sam really goes above and beyond to build a relationship with you and build your confidence which inevitably suffers when dealing with difficult legal matters. I couldn’t have gotten a better outcome from the family legal matter he helped me with, and can’t imagine anyone else could have gotten the job done so successfully!

Sam and his staff helped me in the most difficult time of my life. My daughter died and had a 3 yrs old child that I wasnt allowed to see. Him and his staff never stopped fighting for me It was a long hard process but in the end he was able to get me visitation with my grandchild. Sam and his staff were the best. I would reccomeend Sam to anyone.

Sam Byrd is the absolute best attorney. I felt like I was in an unwinnable situation. Though it was a difficult situation, Sam took the challenge and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Well beyond my expectations.

Mr.Byrd went above and beyond to help me with my case. I truly believe he is doing the work of a greater force. He was able to get me the results that were needed and more. He is also very patient and tentative. I know if I ever need help agian I will contact him and he will be willing and ready to make sure I get the help I need.

Brittany and Sam worked very hard on my "difficult" case. I say difficult because at the initial consult Kevin believed it would be one of the easiest cases they've handled but one can never account for a difficult Ex-wife. In the end he gave me solid, sound advise and even though I paid her a lump sum to get rid of her I saved money in the long run from not paying more in attorney fees. If your looking for someone that will give you straight forward advise and doesn't try to inflate your bill then Sam is the guy to see.

Sam did my divorce for me. Between him and Brittany (can't speak enough kind words about her) they made a stressful/hectic process go by seamlessly. The amount of time, concern and genuine care Brittany has is exceptional and Sam made sure I was as ready as I could be and knew the process. Brittany was even at the courthouse to meet me before going in, she waiting until things were done and took me to all the little offices I needed to go to while I was there. This little extra that they did was absolutely amazing and appreciated more then words could say. Thank you to the whole team!!!

Sam, Kevin, and Brittany started working for me on day one. They are kind, understanding, compassionate, and fair. There were several hiccups with my case which they all took in stride. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone; they get the job done!

We found Mr. Byrd when we were seeking a family lawyer due to an unfortunate need to have custody steps taken to protect an infant family member. He was very compassionate, kept us advised of every set, communicated with us to keep in the loop of any changes and helped us find a solution that was best without placing any undue strains on all parties involved.
