Biography
Marc Lyons is the managing partner for the Florida Keys personal injury practice at Lyons & Snyder, P.A., splitting his time between the firm’s offices in Key West and Plantation, Florida. Although he works from both locations, nearly 85% of his clients live in the Florida Keys or were injured in Key West or throughout the Florida Keys while visiting the area. Marc’s long-standing local relationships and deep community involvement give his clients a meaningful advantage, especially in a close-knit region where local knowledge is critical to successfully resolving personal injury cases.
As a highly experienced Florida Keys personal injury lawyer, Mr. Lyons focuses exclusively on representing accident victims in:
- Catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims
- Car and motor vehicle accidents
- Motorcycle, scooter, and moped accidents
- Rideshare accidents (including Uber and Lyft)
- Pedestrian, e-bicycle and bicycle accidents
- Premises liability cases, including slip and falls and trip and falls
- Resort-related injuries
- Negligent security and sexual assault cases
Working alongside founding partner Philip Snyder, Mr. Lyons has recovered more than $100 million for injured victims across Florida, including numerous settlements exceeding one million dollars. His reputation as a relentless negotiator and aggressive trial attorney is supported by years of courtroom experience and a strong track record of results.
Practicing personal injury law in the Florida Keys requires a deep understanding of the region’s unique courts, judges, law enforcement agencies, and roadway challenges. Marc has extensive experience with serious accidents on the U.S. 1 / Overseas Highway, one of the most dangerous and heavily traveled stretches of roadway in the state. His familiarity with Key West juries, local traffic patterns, tourist-related injuries, and resort liability issues helps him identify important details that out-of-town attorneys frequently miss.
Over the years, Mr. Lyons has earned the trust of residents, business owners, and community members throughout the Florida Keys. Unlike lawyers who only appear to “dabble” in Key West, Marc is truly part of the local community and is never hesitant to file a lawsuit or pursue a claim against any negligent party, including local businesses, government entities, or large corporations.
Before co-founding Lyons & Snyder, Mr. Lyons served as a trial attorney at the Broward County State Attorney’s Office, where he tried dozens of cases and developed the litigation skills that now benefit his personal injury clients throughout the Florida Keys.
