Attorney Dan Cytryn is a Board-Certified Civil Trial Lawyer who has specialized in personal injury law for over 40 years in the state of Florida. He has been a Board-Certified Civil Trial Lawyer for more than 30 years. He specializes in personal injury in a state where only about 1% of lawyers hold that particular Board Certification title.

Attorney Cytryn was president of the Broward Country Trial Lawyers Association in 1995. He been lead counsel in more than 105 personal injury jury trials, with 25 million-dollar plus verdicts or settlements. He has been selected as a Super Lawyer for more than 10 years consecutively.

He often also handles his own appeals.  Many of his cases have made new law in Florida. He has successfully argued in the Florida Supreme Court when Daubert was initially found unconstitutional, and also in TGI Friday’s vs. Dvorak, There, the trial judge held that the proposal for settlement rule was unconstitutional and discretionary and denied his client attorney’s fees after he beat the proposal for settlement by more than 400%.  His argument in the Florida Supreme Court produced the holding that the proposal for settlement statute was not only constitutional, but it was mandatory and not discretionary.

As a result of his proposal and advice, the Florida evidence Code committee recently proposed a measure to the House and Senate allowing a court to take judicial notice of images, maps, distance calculations, and other information provided on the Internet by well-recognized companies such as Google and Bing, which passed both houses unanimously.  Florida’s governor signed the bill effective July 1, 2022.

His comment in opposition to the adoption of the Daubert standard for admissibility of evidence was quoted by then-Florida Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente (DeLisle v. Crane Co., 258 So. 3d 1219 (Fla. 2018) (Pariente, J., concurring)), and also by Justice Jorge Labarga (In re Amendments to Florida Evidence Code, 278 So. 3d 551 (Fla. 2019) (Labarge, J., dissenting)).
