I am an appellate attorney licensed in Florida, New York, and District of Columbia. I was formerly a trial attorney and I remain the only attorney in my region, who in recent history has won a homocide trial by jury verdict. I have obtained many successful appellate opinions for clients. I have most recently reversed a sentence on a first-degree murder cases. I have success reunifying families on appeal, after parental rights were terminated at trial. You usually have 30 days to appeal. Make yours count!

Great Lawyer - To The Point!
I consulted Attorney Lynum on a business matter. After he successfully handled this matter, he consulted me on overhauling my business. There are new ways to do things and this guy has figured it out.
"I endorse this lawyer. I have observed Mr. Lynum in both criminal and family courtrooms and have found him to be a very effective advocate for his clients."
"Mr. Lynum is a very thorough attorney who ensures he is prepared for all of his cases. His preparation makes him an incredible attorney and advocate for his clients. While there are no real winners in divorce and custody cases, Mr. Lynum ensures that he puts each individual he represents in the best situation possible for the sake of the children."
"Mr. Lynum works aggressively to make sure his clients receive superior legal representation. Whether it is a business-related issue, a criminal matter or a family law issue, attorney Lynum is a zealous advocate whom I have no problem referring clients to."
"Mr. Lynum is an experienced and motivated attorney who can articulate himself well in any courtroom. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Lynum in several different courtrooms and am consistently impressed with his advocacy skills and knowledge of the law."
