Mr. Byrd is an amazing attorney, human and just neat guy. He's represented myself, my family and friends that I've referred, honestly, fairly and thank God successfully. He has one of the sharpest legal minds that I have met and I've known personally hundreds of attorneys over the years. I should mention how much I thank him for all of his magical gifts that God had given him and he shares with his clients and others. Thank you Mr. Byrd!!! And thank you Lord. Mike

FIRST CLASS!!!!

I would describe my experience with Derek Byrd's office as first class! The staff was professional, office was beautiful, and I received excellent representation. My calls were always returned promptly, my questions always answered, and my desired outcome was achieved. If you have been arrested, I highly recommend you hire Derek Byrd. His representation is well deserved!

You get what you pay for!

I was told that Derek Byrd was the best criminal defense lawyer in Sarasota. They were right! I had a serious drug charge and was facing prison. Everyone, including several other lawyers I spoke with, told me I was going to jail. Derek fought for me and, as a result, all charges were dismissed. I owe that guy my life!

As a former state prosecutor, I worked with and against Derek on a variety of matters. Derek is among the finest trial lawyers, and without question the best criminal attorney, I've had the pleasure of working with. Derek consistently exercises the best judgment in his cases, whether it be to recommend that his client negotiate a plea or to take the case to trial. He is effective both as a counsel and an advocate.

Based on my understanding of the requirments for rating, and despite his advocacy skills, Mr. Byrd does not meet the criteria for rating because of character issues.

I was hesitant to mark "Excellent" in all categories for fear you'd assume I am merely a personal friend supporting a good evaluation for his advantage. I am a friend because we have known each other probably 15 years now and worked together in the past, but we are not social friends. From my vantage point I've been able to observe him over the years and I have nothing but respect for his abilities and capabilities and can tell you he is very well respected by all who know him.
