  • 5.0/5.0 Review for John E. Byrnes by a Partner on 11/09/22 in Family Law

    I have been present at several depositions in which John defended the deponent. His skills were truly impressive. On each occasion, I left the deposition thinking that if I was ever deposed, I wanted John to defend me.

    John is a great advocate for his clients, but very professional in his dealings with opposing counsel. I refer cases to John quite often - including close friends. I know they will get straight answers, as well as honest and zealous representation.
