Derek goes above and beyond! He's fast and aggressive to get the best possible outcome! If you're in trouble, the person you want is Derek Byrd!

Derek Byrd listened to my circumstances, explained the legal situation, and took care of the situation through strong action from thereon. Throughout the process Mr. Byrd and his associates kept me appraised of the situaion, ultimately resolving the issue to my satisfaction.

Derek Byrd is the best criminal defense lawyer you will find in Sarasota. He welcomed me as a client and represented me better than I could have imagined. Additionally, The Byrd Law Firm was as professional as could be throughout the entire process. I could not be more grateful for everything Derek Byrd has done for me. If you ever run into trouble, I highly, highly recommend Mr. Byrd.

I hired Derek to represent me in a misdemeanor case last year. He was extremely helpful and was 100% real with me throughout the entire process. At our first meeting, he laid out exactly what the best case scenario would be but also informed me what the more likely scenario would be based on his experience in similar cases. With the help of his many connections and unfaltering work ethic, my charges were reduced. It is worth mentioning that Derek is very easy to get a hold of and willing to answer any questions or concerns you may have throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Derek to anyone looking for a reliable attorney.

I had heard about only one attorney in Sarasota and that was Derek Byrd. I heard from many different sources that he was the best, very well-respected, a former prosecutor friend of mine said he was reputed to be an excellent negotiator. I had seen how incredible he had been in getting a friend's brother-in-law the very best conditions instead of jail time for a DUI. He's talked about as if he's a local legend, because he is. He can do the impossible and make you're nightmare go away. He doesn't scare you by focusing on the very worst possible outcome to scare you into hiring him. When I got arrested, I was in shock. I called one of my best friends and told her I was in Manatee County Jail and needed to be released ASAP. Her ex-husband also a great friend, posted my bail /bond. Once I was out, I was told to call Mr Derek Byrd in the morning my friend had already called Mr Byrd and asked him for a favor to represent me. I called and met with Mr Byrd at his office that day. He was very straight forward. I had 5 charges against me with the worst being felony criminal mischief over $1,000. Derek made me see and feel so much better at our very first meeting (and every subsequent one as well). Having now met Derek Byrd, I was so impressed and confident in his skills that I immediately read the contract to hire him, completed it, signed it and paid his secretary. He didn't disappoint at all! Derek was able to get ALL my charges dropped and including the felony charge which would have ruined by life and career (I'm a doctor and my license to practice medicine in FL, my ability to work and do what I love would be instantly revoked with any felony conviction). I was thrilled that in 2- 3 weeks he made my nightmare come to an end. Subsequently, I hired Derek to be my legal representative once again on a different matter.. He continues to receive my highest accolades.

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!

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!

Derek goes above and beyond! He's fast and aggressive to get the best possible outcome! If you're in trouble, the person you want is Derek Byrd!
