Divorce Attorney

David was recommended to me for my divorce proceedings (just finalized with an amicable outcome) and I could not have asked for a more outstanding advocate. He worked tirelessly on my behalf and offered wise counsel to me throughout the process. David was of great help to me during a very difficul...t time. All of his hard work, professionalism, expertise and support made the process as easy as it possibly could be. He was attentive to my questions and concerns, and responsive each and every step of the way. David fees were also incredibly reasonable - particularly cosidering the top notch legal services I received. I would highly recommend David to anyone. If he is your attorney, you can rest assured that you are in outstanding hands.

Divorce Attorney

David Dikman came highly recommended by a co-worker. I was extremely pleased with his professionalism, interest in my concerns and staying focused on my wants and needs. The entire process took just over a year and a half. I am from the Bronx and David was willing and very able to appear in court whe...never the courts demanded. David never sends a para, he always appears himself and this was something i had inquired about when we first sat down. Now that my divorce is final and i am able to talk with my ex, we had conversations about information from our attorneys and it was very clear to me that i had the more experienced and detail oriented and knowledgeable of all the attorneys involved. David kept me informed literally the moment any interaction took place between the attorneys from both sides. Looking back and looking at all the emails that went back and forth i know i was the most informed of all defendants. We actually started a trial but thankfully it wasnt necessary to finish, and i owe it all to David as he had noticed there was an opportunity for me and my wife to talk and finish the whole thing and avoid more costs and questioning under oath. I highly recommend David Dikman and his entire firm.

Excellent Attorney.

Having gone thru several other attorneys, I can honestly say that David Dikman of Dikman & Dikman, is the most brilliant divorce lawyer I have met. More importantly he is a down to earth human being. He had genuine compassion, fought tooth and nail for me and charged me a bargain. I won my case and i...t was all down to Mr. Dikman. He has a very sharp legal mind and his strategies all paid dividends. Thank you for everything David.

Highly Recommended Divorce Attorney

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.
