Straight to the point

My family hired attorney Dyril Flanigan to defend my child's high profile case. Special District Attorneys crazy situation. Attorney Flanigan told my we need to get your child out this they handing out 120 to 240 months like tic tacs' He told us what he could do and thats what he did! He talked to t...he head D.A.s and made moves of the strength of name and reputation in the lawyer world. From there we went from prison sentence to short term probation!

Dyril Was amazing to work with

I reached out to Dyril because I got a careless driving ticket and he mentioned he works with criminal cases. I was mostly worried about getting points on my license, he assured me that he more than likely would be able to get them taken off. Dyril and his team were very helpful, courteous, and knowl...edgeable when I had questions. They were right on top of things as well. I highly recommend Dyril and his team!!! Wonderful experience and would use again !!

Best representation I've ever had

I hired Dyril for my criminal charges I had three possession charges I have been to prison four times but Mr.Flannigan saved me I was looking at 20 months prison he got me into Family drug court which I've never been allowed into that type of court room he got me into 6 months outpatient West are fol...lowed by two years probation with 6 months lost of license which I've never been able to get probation and always lost my license for two years this was the best sentencing and representation from by a lawyer if I didn't hire him I would be sitting in prison and lost all my kids I really appreciate everything he has done for me and I highly recommend him to everyone

Solid, professional and highly experienced lawyer

I have known Attorney Flanagan for more than 30 years. I recently hired him to review records and motions pertaining my son who is incarcerated in the Florida correctional system and to advise me about possible actions I might undertake on his behalf. Attorney Flanagan was thorough in his research an...d review of the matter. He was objective and balanced in his analysis of the full set of circumstances. His advice was candid and straightforward yet compassionate and optimistic. I was fully satisfied with his services.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
