Kevin was amazing from the very first moment I met with him and his team. The ladies were also very amazing and accomodating during a time of need. I would definitely recommend Kevin, and have done so already, for all family law matters. Thankyou for being so amazing!

Not satisfied at all. Totally ripped off, all he wanted was his fee! Never followed though with what he said at the first consultation and really let me down!

I have been dealing with Kevin and his team for years and I have always been treated very nicely and with respect. It takes a team with patience and understanding to deal with all these big issues and I can vouch that everyone at Byrnes Lawyers have demonstrated that all the way - let alone the successes by Kevin along the way too. Thank you !! I can confidently and highly recommend Kevin and his team.

Kevin and his team have been absolute professionals guiding us through a very difficult and lengthy process. Kevin prepared and represented all material for the hearings meticulously, to ensure the best result possible for us. He fought hard for what is fair and right, providing realistic advise and expectations along the way. All staff in the office were fast acting, knowledgeable and supportive throughout. Our family feels extremely well represented by Kevin & his team going into the future.

When speaking about Kevin, I only have the most wonderful things to say. Kevin was highly recommended to me, and I will forever highly recommend him to anyone going through family court. With the most delicate/heartbreaking situation occurring in my life, Kevin and his team were nothing short of compassionate, professional and supportive. Kevin took my case over from another solicitor in town and within a short time was all over the evidence and was moving full steam ahead with gathering further documentation. From the first court appearance I knew I had made the best choice. Kevin has the natural ability to make you feel so at ease, even when you feel as though your whole world is falling apart. There are no amount of thankyous that will ever be enough. Kevin changed both mine, and my daughters life and I will forever be eternally grateful.
