Jarian N. Lyons, the founder of Lyons Legal, LLC, has a wealth of experience in multiple areas of personal injury law. His passion for personal injury law began in 2002 after his 24-year-old cousin died of a heart condition due to a lack of proper medical attention. At that moment, Jarian decided to pursue his law degree to help those injured due to no fault of their own or those who unexpectedly lost loved ones.
After law school, Jarian’s legal career began in Tallahassee, FL, with Parks & Crump, LLC. Jarian worked zealously for clients that experienced significant unexpected losses ranging from trucking accidents, police shootings, tire tread separations, child drownings, and infant crib deaths. Jarian’s investigation into an eight-month-old infant’s crib death assisted the Consumer Products Safety Commission in recalling over 985,000 drop-side baby cribs. To date, ensuring the safety of innocent babies is still one of Jarian’s proudest moments as an attorney.
During his time as an associate attorney with Parks & Crump from 2007 to 2013, Jarian also led their Mass Tort Department. He worked extensively in pharmaceutical drug litigation matters in Multidistrict Litigation involving harmful prescription drugs such as Avandia, Baycol, Bextra, Celebrex, Fosamax, Heparin, Vioxx, and Zyprexa.
From 2013 to 2016, Jarian worked as a pre-suit attorney for a large Central Florida law firm to recover over 4.5 million dollars for clients injured in car and motorcycle accidents.
Since co-founding Lyons & Lenoir in 2016, Jarian has provided clients with individualized quality-focused representation versus a “one size fits all approach.” This way of practicing law has been professionally fulfilling and has led to significant financial awards and client settlements.
Jarian is a native of Pensacola, Florida, and graduated from Woodham High School, where he received a Florida Bright Futures Scholarship to attend college. Jarian is a three-time graduate of Florida A & M University, earning his Bachelor of Science with honors in Political Science in 2002; a Masters in Applied Social Sciences in 2003; and his J.D. from the Florida A&M College of Law in May of 2006. Jarian was a member of the second graduating class since FAMU’s law school re-establishment in 2002. While in law school, Jarian was a member of the Jesse McCrary Chapter of the Black Law Students Association and served as Parliamentarian of the Student Bar Association from 2003 to 2004. Jarian was also a Certified Legal Intern with the Orange County Public Defender’s Office and assisted indigent clients with various landlord-tenant disputes through the FAMU Housing Clinic.
Jarian credits his desire for excellence to his mother as his role model. She often worked two jobs during his youth and encouraged him to participate in many after-school activities, including varsity basketball and the performing arts. Jarian previously served as a Board Member of the Florida Justice Association and was a member of the Legal Services of North Florida Founders of Justice Society. In 2019, Jarian was appointed to the Dean’s Advisory Council at the Florida A&M University College of Law. His memberships include Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and the FAMU National Alumni Association Greater Orlando Chapter. When Jarian is not representing clients, he enjoys attending sporting events, church, and spending time with his wife and children.
