    I highly recommend Pender & Coward as a very effective and well organized law firm with solid customer service. I have worked with many of their attorneys to help me navigate the unique challenges that present itself in my business and personal life. They always have been thorough, diligent, and professional, in handling everything in a timely manner. I have worked very closely with attorney Katharyn Byler for very many years as my legal consultant . She has always been very patient with me, and communicative about all the legal issues I have, involving me in every step ; my experience with her has always been exceptionally great. She is very thorough and knowledgeable with numerous years of legal experience. I highly recommend Attorney Katharyn Byler and her team with any legal issues. Dr. N.D (PhD)

    I had the pleasure of working with Kathryn Byler, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Her professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and attention to detail are truly outstanding. Kathryn is not only incredibly skilled in her field, but she also takes the time to explain complex legal matters in a way that is clear and easy to understand. What sets Kathryn apart was and is her dedication to me! She is thorough, responsive, and always has her clients best interests at heart. Her ability to navigate legal challenges with confidence and efficiency made the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for you, Kathryn Byler is the one to call. I highly recommend her services!

    Hired Law firm 2024-2025
    I worked with Pender & Coward for the estate administration of my mother’s real estate and the real estate closing for my mother’s home.The staff and attorney I worked with at Pender & Coward were very professional, welcoming, and sensitive to all my family was dealing with during a very difficult time. The receptionist for the fourth floor was very friendly and made me feel at ease each time I arrived. The attorney I worked with, Ms. Byler, was one of the most professional people I have ever worked with. She worked through challenging estate and real estate bureaucracies, with support from the firm’s real estate and estate team, on my behalf- a lot of back and forth- without burdening me with the stress of it all during a very difficult time. When the time came to make decisions and sign the paperwork, she had it covered. She organized everything to help us understand the bureaucracies and the options in front of us to help us make informed decisions. She treated my mother, who was ill, with dignity and respect, empowering her with agency in the decision making process, something I will always be grateful for. Recently, I reached out to Ms. Byler regarding a professional legal matter. Once again, she worked diligently on my behalf, to research different options to help me. One option was to arrange for a consultation with one of her colleagues, Mr. Suit. When I met with the two of them to discuss my questions, they both seemed genuinely interested in fully understanding what I needed before considering my options. Another great experience with this firm. These staff members have been friendly, knowledgable, and very helpful with both personal and professional legal needs. I will definitely continue to seek out Ms. Byler’s counsel with any future legal matters.

    Recommends this Attorney
    I've worked with Anne since my separation in 2013. Through my divorce and more custody case than I care to count, she has always been fantastic. She will do what you ask, but she will tell you if she thinks your goal is unrealistic. She is kind, intelligent, and generally amazing to work with. No one enjoys custody cases on the parent side, but she works hard to take some of the contention out of the situation. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
