Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Darville is an excellent lawyer who cares about his clients. He is very professional and did a great job on my case. My charges (rightfully) were dropped. I recommend him.

Client

Wyndell seems a little laid back until you get him in the court room. He is awesome at what he does. He has been working with me on a child support case for sometime now, helping to recover 6 years of non-payment. He always keeps me informed and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is just ...right

"I have personally known Wyndel Darville for the better part of my legal career and can state with absolute certainty that he is a dedicated and aggressive criminal defense attorney who fights hard for his clients and gets outstanding results. He was a tenacious former prosecutor (I have gone to battle against him), knows the system, and most importantly, knows how to leverage that system for the benefit of his clients. I strongly recommend that anyone facing criminal charges in the greater Sarasota, FL area strongly consider hiring Wyndel."
