Attorney Brandi L. Byrd handles much of our family law practice. Her experience as a trial lawyer can certainly give you an edge if a contested matter needs to be heard in court, but her courtroom skills help just as much in negotiations. Her ability to analyze and present evidence in a persuasive way is just as useful in settlement discussions as it is in front of a judge, and her reputation for success in court may make an opponent think twice before going to trial.

You can count on Ms. Byrd and The Copeland Law Firm for high-quality service and counsel on the issues that most divorce cases present: division of the marital property, resolution of disputes as to the marital or separate nature of particular assets, child custody and visitation, parental fitness issues when mental illness or chemical dependency are factors, child support and alimony, and, in some cases, domestic violence issues.
