Through the last several years, I have worked with Derek Byrne on several different family law cases as opposing counsel. You cannot find a more hard-working, stronger, ethical and knowledgeable advocate. I strongly endorse this lawyer.

Professional, compassionate, caring and understanding. He listens to his clients and then presents a solution.

So happy to have him on our side! Highly recommend attorney Byrne!

I am a previous client of Derek's so I'm copy and pasting my comment on his old firm that was directly intended for him:

I came to this firm in a desperate situation where state law was completely against myself and what was in my child's best interest, and time was urgent. After being toyed with by law firms throughout the day, talked down to, hung up on and scheduled consultations set a week or two from that date, I contacted here and associate Derek Byrne.

Amazing treatment, attention, and respect. Mr. Byrne had me come in immediately, drafted necessary paperwork right there in his office, and had it not been after 5:00 when we wrapped things up he would have had them filed that day as well.

Things did not proceed as we anticipated, and I needed his assistance and counsel much more expediently than expected. Derek Byrne responded to the new events as if he saw them coming, and handled them with absolute diligence and persistence. I have never been able to not get in touch with him, he makes me feel as if I am his only client even though it is apparent by his desk, office and schedule he has a full plate. Does not matter. Amazing attorney and an amazing firm.

My one and only regret throughout this whole process was this firm wasn't my first phone call. I wasted an entire day with a list of other attorneys that weren't worth a Google search.

Derek is a pleasure to work with. He is honest and gives you as much information that you need and want during the process.
I would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney!
He always has your needs at the center of his work. He is accommodating and will do anything possible to help you. He handles all matters with class and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need.

Derek is reasonable, honest and fair. He's aggressive when he needs to be and truly goes after what is right for the children involved and what is fair overall. He seems to know the Pinellas county court system like the back of his hand which was extremely beneficial. I could not have navigated the crazy world of family law without his help and expertise. Also, he has a great paralegal under him so you're truly in great hands no matter who answers the phone. Thank you, Derek (and Danny!)

What A great experience dealing with Derek Byrne! I highly recommend Him as A Lawyer! After A highly stressful custody battle victory was won! So Grateful and Happy I had Him represent me in my case. :)
