This individual is not very good in my book. I was not represented by him but I know someone that was. The other review written by Devon P sounds very similar to the way O'Byrne behaved representing my friend. O'Byrne claims that his client was lying to him and that he was not behaving appropriately in court. Therefore, his client was to sit and wait until he was ready to deal with him. He then motioned to the court to push back the pretrial hearing without the consent of the client. The client learned after the motion was done and over with. Until today, O'Byrne has not visited his client nor called him to go over the case. It has been six weeks. Finally O'Byrne gets in touch and says he can sit in jail for all I care and he is not taking the case to trial. When court is taking place in about 2 weeks or less. So now it is a process of finding a new lawyer and getting money return all before the next hearing. If Mr. O'Byrne would have let his client know long before today, there wouldn't be such a rush and scrambling. More time wasted and more money going down the drain. Mr. O'Byrne is not an attorney for someone against a DA. He is more focused on doing as little work as possible that he can get away with. He also appears to be more aligned with the court judges and district attorney's than with the client that he is representing. read more
