About Drew
I am an Attorney at The Byrd Law Firm where I practice Criminal Defense and Family Law. I was born and raised on Long Island in New York and came to Florida to pursue a college degree at Stetson University.
While studying at Stetson I became intrigued with law, so after I graduated I pursued a law degree at Nova Southeastern University Law School. At law school I interned at the Broward County State Attorney’s office, and it was there that I realized the injustices and indignities
