One of a kind Hero

I have known Mr Flanagan for quite a few years right now he's kind he's honest he's sympathetic and he's also a man of his word if he can help you he will if he can't he won't take your money he will send you to someone else that can handle your case if he does take your case he will put his all into... it and defend you to the end he doesn't look at you like a dollar sign he looks at you as someone that needs help and if he can he will help you there's not much more I can say about Mr Flanagan but he's the best attorney around as far as I'm concerned I owe him more than he got paid and also the the best part of this is after the case is all over win or lose he's still your friend and that means a lot you can just go talk to him at any time thank you Mr Flanagan for all you've done for me and my family and yes you are an everyday hero thank you so much Melba

Very Grateful For This Magician!

He represented my son on 2 separate cases that were comprised of multiple felony drug charges and driving offenses. My son could have been sentenced to over 40 years, due to his history. Mr. Flanagan is clearly very skilled at negotiating with the State Attorneys, because the end result for my son i...s 9 months' County time, less 100+ days time served, and no probation whatsoever. Many people have told me that this is unheard of. I think that the communication with my son could have been much more frequent than it was, but the bottom line is, Mr. Flanagan understood the assignment and he kept my son out of DOC. Mr. Flanagan's fees are quite steep, but please believe me when I tell you that he is worth every dollar, and he is THE lawyer to hire. Ms. Lori, his Legal Assistant, is a nice lady and she communicates well with you on his behalf when he's unavailable. I would hire him again without hesitation.

Case Overview

Congrats to Attorney Flanagan, for winning my Criminal Case. I was charged with Domestic Violence- Aggravated Battery, for protecting myself with Self-Defense. I have never been arrested or in any trouble, until this matter occurred. I also worked in Administration in Healthcare. All my Healthcare Li...censes was suspended from AHCA. I could have faced 24 months to 15 years in prison. Due to it was my first time offense, state wanted to drop the charge to battery or misdemeanor, but thats not what I wanted. I wanted the entire case to be dismissed. It took a little under a year, but Attorney Flanagan did his job and got my entire case dismissed. I am now able to get all my Licenses back in good standing and return to work. I am so happy, to be getting my life back, without any restrictions. If you need a Attorney that’s effective, but reasonable with the cost at the same time, then you should give Attorney Flanagan a call.

Above and beyond!! Representation you can count on.

When Dyril Flanagan stepped in on my behalf I had paid thousands already to another attorney and had very little faith in achieving a favorable outcome on my behalf. Pinellas County has the highest conviction rate in the United States and I felt that my case was just another lost cause. Not only did ...he achieve an outcome far better than I had expected, he did it with respect and what amounted to a fraction of what I had already paid out. I only wish I would’ve found him first. He came highly recommended and as impressive as his work on my case is, it’s only eclipsed by his prowess and reputation in the court room. I know when you are searching for an attorney that you always hear about a certain select few in Pinellas County but in the face all but insurmountable odds, a prosecutor that was looking to make an example out me and my case, and a judge, who all be it, fair, was having a bad day, I not only went home instead of prison but I did it without another year’s probation. Rest assured if he says he is going to work for you, he’s going to do just that. I’m forever grateful for Dyril, as is my family. He’s straight forward and he doesn’t pull any punches. I’m sincerely thankful and blessed to have met him and had him on my case!! Not to sound like a broken record, but I can’t stress enough how much trouble I was in and how big of a mess my case already was. I know that I can never thank him enough, but my hope is someone may be reading this and trying to decide who they might choose to represent them. You will find competent, fair, capable, and honest defense in the services of Dyril Flanagan.

VOP Violation, Got Probation Dropped Completely!!

I hired Dyril for a VOP case. My original PD wanted me to do 180 days, so I fired her and hired Dyril! He was expedient in getting my probation completely dropped and got my time served on 2 months. Without his help, I would still be inside waiting for a court date! This is the lawyer you want if you... need to get a case handled! I highly recommend contacting him. He also worked with me on the price and payment, which was a godsend. Cheers to Dyril for being a phenomenal lawyer!
