Three Tool Lawyer

Dina, met a very high standard in Availability, Attitude, and Ability. I call it three tools. Also feel free to use me for a recommendation as / from an out of town Dad who was looking for trusted counsel for a loved one in a legal bind due to driving offenses with related parole violation.

Traffic Offenses Resolved Quickly

Dina worked with my wife and I when an unfortunate incident occurred and we had some outstanding traffic violations for toll roads. Mrs. Sheridan gave me a fair quote and did not charge anything additional to the wage we agreed upon. She was professional throughout the entire process and kept us bo...th informed as things progressed. Having a great deal of experience working with attorneys both professionally and personally, it is definitely refreshing to be able to reach and receive timely responses from hired council. I would highly recommend Dina Busciglio Sheridan for any traffic offense cases.

Great to work with!

She was very helpful with the briefing and knew exactly how to handle the situation so that I wasn't wrongly punished because of my vindictive ex.

Amazing Lawyer!

Dina was amazing from the first initial consult till the day I received my license. I was considered a HTO...Dina overlooked my driving history and was able to go to court and get some things removed off my license. I never had to go to her office or to court, so nothing ever interfered with my sch...edule. I highly recommend her as one of the best lawyers around. Thanks again for everything Dina.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Dina and I began working at the State Attorney's Office in Clearwater around the same time. During the years in which we were both employed in that office, I was able to watch Dina rise through the ranks of our office. She became a Lead Trial Attorney before being promoted to Felony Court. I had the opportunity to observe her in court and in trial and was always impressed with her level of preparation and her composure. More than that, she was (and remains) highly respected by those that matter: the judges, the defense bar and her fellow prosecutors. Outside of court, Dina is very personable and easy to talk to. All of these qualities make her an outstanding attorney."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
