His dedication gave me a second chance.

Without giving too much detail, I wanted to tell a story regarding my case and Flanagan. I was 16 years old making wrong decisions and getting myself into trouble. So much so that it landed me in a courtroom facing close to 5 years in prison. Long story short Dyril saw the potential in me and the sup...port system I had and passionately move to have me enrolled in a long term out of prison rehab program that consisted of many things. When he gave me that second chance at life I completely turned my life around. I now own my own business, married my amazing wife, and have two young boys of my own. Because of his dedication and heart to see real people get real help, the trajectory of my life forever changed for the good. I can't think of another lawyer that would put as much time and sacrifice into helping you and your situation. He's not a get of jail free card but he is one that can see the good in people and will treat you like a human. Thank you for all you've done for me. I can never repay you.

A Quick Resolution, handled with care

I was in an accident where a negligent driver hit me while I was riding my bicycle to work. That driver was dishonest with the insurance company and tried everything she could do to avoid blame when she was clearly in the wring, and the police had sited her for wreckless Driving. Dyril was amazing e...very step of the way. From our consultation and then to me hiring him for my case, I was in constant contact with both him, and his wonderful assistance Lori. They answered all of my questions and made me feel like they were truly there for me. Everything was settled quickly (under 4 months!!!) and i was compensated very fairly for this whole ordeal. I hope to never find myself in a situation again where his services are required, but if I do.... He is my attorney of choice for Life! Thanks Dyril!

The best Lawyer ever

We hired Daryl to represent our son being charged with attempted murder..Daryl was the greatest. He got all charges dropped. He kept me on the loop with everything going on and even listened to my ideas and thoughts..My opinion really mattered..He always called me back,when I called. Any questions or... concerns I had he always addressed them. He put up with all my yelling and attitudes still while providing superior lawyer service. He did not just work the case. He showed that he actually cared about my Son.I would reccomend him a 1,000 times. And whats a good lawyer with out a wonderful secretary by his side..Lori was the best..I called her Alot,she never rejected my calls or made me feel like I was aggravating her,she always answered with a smile.I was afraid of the experience and service I would receive from all the lawyer horror stories Ive heard,but they put my mind at ease and restored my faith in lawyers..I just wanna say thank you so much for beliving in my son,never giving up and helping secure a second chance at life for him...We love you Daryl and Lori

BEST CHOICE EVER!

I have had the pleasure of working in the same building as Mr. Flanagan for 2 years now. I see how he and his amazing legal secretary (Lori) deal with their clients on a daily basis. I was impressed as an outsider looking in. Unfortunately, I had a situation where I needed an attorney. I was scared t...o death. Never having to hire an attorney before, Dyril was my first choice. He immediately put my mind at ease and patiently explained everything to me as my case progressed. He was able to have all charges dropped, which is more than I could have ever asked for. He was amazing, knowledgeable and most of all very kind. In my professional life I have dealt with many attorneys and could have picked any of them to represent me. I chose Dyril and have to say it was THE BEST CHOICE EVER! I would recommend Mr. Flanagan to anyone and everyone!

wouldn't choose anyone else

Dyril has represented me around 5 times.... not including the phone calls to check on how I am doing personally. Mr. Flanagan and Ms. Lauri have always put their heart into their work with me. I always recommend them to friends and family. I wouldn't choose anyone else to represent me. I feel he p...uts me as a priority and truly cares about me as a person not just a client.
