Best Lawyer Ever!!!

Hiring a lawyer is a tough decision. You have to put your trust, and possibly your freedom in the hands of a complete stranger. I have had my share of hiring lawyers. Dyril was astonishing. He put all my insecurities to rest from day one. He laid out a game plan for my case, stuck to it and won my c...ase. I never had to worry about what’s going on, what do do next. He kept me updated and in the loop. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns. His secretary was just as wonderful. When he wasn’t available, she was able to assist just as well. I must say it was a pleasure working with Dyril and his team. I think I have found my permanent lawyer. Way to Go Dyril. I appreciate everything you did for my family. It was worth every penny.

Best lawyer in pinellas county

This guy is so good not only did he win me permanent guardianship of a child that is not mine biologically he also just got my aggravated assault w a weapon charge which was p.r.r in my case knocked down to a misdemeanor: improper exhibition of a weapon. So instead of me being sent to prison for a mi...nimum mandatory of 5 yrs and up to 15 in prison I was placed on a year probation and some community service which another lawyer told me was unheard of. All I can say if you are going to invest in your freedom Dyrill Flanagan is the best route to take.

A true professional, worth more than twice what he charges for his services.

I was referred to Mr. Flanagan by one of his other clients who's an old co-worker/good friend of mine. I was getting charged with 2 counts of (domestic) battery... Which was based on hearsay from someone out of state. Dyril had a game plan on day one that he stuck to and got to work on immedi...ately. Everything I did not fully understand about my charges and the legal process was explained to me. With his defense/counsel I felt much more confident in my situation and with dealing with my court proceedings. His ability to stand his ground kept me from taking some nonsense plea deal for a crime I did not commit. Because of this I got the best possible resolution with my charges being dropped completely. Aside from his skills in the court room he's also a very personable man who treats his clients like actual human beings and not just like customers/a source of income. He himself acts like an actual human being so it didn't feel like I was having some robot defend/represent me like a few other lawyers I had contacted prior to going with Dyril. I plan on staying out of trouble but should I ever find myself in similar situation, or know somebody else in need of a reliable and hardworking legal defense in the future I will absolutely (110%) be referring them to Mr. Flanagan.

Help When I Needed It

I had a consult regarding my Early Termination of Probation. I wanted to make sure I did everything correct and to the letter. He was patient and accommodating. Couldn't have asked for a better person to assist in this matter. Truly a wonderful person who is helping out those in need like myself.... Thanks again Mr. Flanagan, you're a blessing.

Amazing!!

I had three felonies that Mr. Flanagan got down to 1 second degree felony. I was looking at 20 months to 15 yrs in prison, and now I’m getting 24 months probation under the pre-trial intervention program. He is very dedicated to his profession, and is always available when you need him. I would highl...y recommend!!!
