He is truly a super lawyer with a powerful mind, a deep knowledge of the law and an amazing ability to master the facts of a case. At trial, he delivered a terrific opening statement, did cross examinations of my adversary and her witnesses that shredded their credibility and their story, put on a case for me that was persuasive, conducted my examination and those of my witnesses in a way that I feel we won the jury and concluded with a closing statement that was detailed and engrossing, yet tied in with the jury verdict form. It was evident in the courtroom that Mr. Byler had the respect of the Judge and the jury. On top of it all, he is honest and ethical." Mr. Byler tried and won in Delshah Group LLC v.
