Criminal ticket

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot thank Mr. Flanagan enough for the incredible job he did on my case. He dismissed two traffic tickets for me – one criminal and one for a windshield – and handled everything with absolute professionalism and confidence. From the very beginning, he made me feel at ease, explained the ...process clearly, and fought hard on my behalf. His experience truly shows, and he gets real results. If you’re looking for a highly skilled, dedicated, and trustworthy attorney in Saint Petersburg, Mr. Flanagan is the one to call. I am beyond grateful for his help and would recommend him 100%!

Avvo Rating

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.
