Blessings

This man is more then a lawyer he's like family he saved my life brought me home to my family. I feel like the price I paid for my friend to save me from a life of incarceration was more than fair. He worked with my family an kept them informed the whole time I was incarcerated. I was wrongfully acc...used an he brought the truth to the light. Very professional very easy to talk to my friend my family I will always be indebted to this man. Thank you for everything

LIFE SAVER!!!

The best lawyer in town. Hands down. Not only did he just help my cousin beat a life sentence and get the whole thing dropped. He went ahead and had my charge that scored out to prison time thrown out before my first appearance. I. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this man. He will do whatever it takes to help you.... He's as honest and fair priced as they come. I can say I've truly never ever met such a cool down to earth, actually cares about his clients type a lawyer like Dyril. Worth every penny. My family Cant thank you enough sir.

He makes miracles happen in the court room.

A close friend of the family referred Mr. Flanagan to My fiance on a criminal case. My fiance has already been to prison so when he told Us what he was scoring to DOC,We immediately paid a retainer for him to represent My fiance in criminal court an he showed out in the court room,He got DOC time wip...ed off the table,got him a continuous time an time again an most court dates he didn't even have to go not really until We got closer to taking a deal did he have to start showing up in court. By the time We all were in agreement to a deal,it went from DOC to 6 mths county or 1 yr. ASU(ankle monitor).He's never been offered ASU.Mr.Flanagan is a awesome Lawyer. Well before My fiance was even able to turn himself in on the now old charge, he got hit with four more serious charges even tho Mr.Flanagan knows I don't have the money to retain him on these new charges he still hasn't dropped off the case even though he knows the deal he got My fiance has been thrown off the table an has taken time out his busy schedule to look over My fiances new charges an has been giving Me legal advice as well as calling just to check up on My fiance an see if any updates have been made. If I had the cash flow,I'd retain him on his new charges an I'm pretty sure he would show out once again in that court room an I'd be very pleased with his work. U want a fire lawyer that's going to run circles in that court room not circles get ran on him,he's running circles on the state n judge from the first court appearance till the final decision is made than You need to retain Mr.Flanagan an his prices are very reasonable for the work he does in that court room. Thank You so much Mr.Flanagan!

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.
