David S. Dikman

I had a messy divorce that was dragging on for 8 years without a resolution in site, until a friend referred me to David Dikman. I met with Dave and after discussing my situation with him, it was apparent he was a very capable attorney. Dave was thorough, knowledgeable and professional. He clearly... laid out what was possible and what to expect, was quick to respond to questions and provided guidance through a very stressful time. In the end, Dave’s ability, dedication and perseverance led to a very favorable outcome for me and it’s greatly appreciated.

In an extremely unpleasant and stressful divorce my lawyer, David Dikman, had the knowledge and confidence to help me with my divorce. He explained everything in layman terms, was always available even on weekends which was important in a crisis. He has great knowledge of the law and always made re...asonable points when I was being unreasonable. I was very confident with him going into the court room. He was on top of my case and knew who I was when I called. This is important because I didn't feel like a number. He inspired confidence. He knows what he is doing and never hesitated in court. I would definitely recommend him and have recommended him to others. He is in good standing with the bar and has a great reputation.

I was referred to David Dikman by a friend, and boy am I glad I retained him for both my divorce and a Family Court action. He helped me navigate the severely dysfunctional legal system we're stuck with in NY. He explained what could reasonably be done without sugar-coating things. You really need so...meone to "tell it like it is" in a divorce. Most lawyers will try to drag things out to run up the bill. Not David. He is tough, and will fight for you. He is extremely knowledgable, and that experience shows. When the going gets tough, you need someone like David to be in court with you. I recommend him highly. (BTW, his secretary, Paulette, is one of the nicest people you'll meet, especially in the legal field.)

A lawyer should be someone who first and foremost listens to your needs and answers all questions asked. They should be able to explain the law and legal ramifications involving your case in layman terms. While defending you at trial, a lawyer must be professional, know the law, be able to interpret ...and articulate the law, understand and adapt to whatever courtroom setting and presiding Judge and be calm although aggressive when necessary. As your lawyer, this is what you will find in Mr. David Dikman, a gentleman and truly a scholar at his profession. David provided legal service for my custody trial, appeal and lastly support trial. Overall, his service was outstanding! Thank you
