His role was later expanded to Health Law, and he has served as an interim director of the law school's Will Lab program. “My reason for starting this solo law practice is to continue my lifelong desire to help people,” Byron says. “People have always been comfortable confiding in me. That's pretty important when we're discussing such personal and sensitive topics as planning for death or disability, guardianships, trusts for children, etc.” Byron offers an initial one-hour complimentary appointment to assess client needs.
