Best civil rights lawyers ever
Barry Diller represented me extremely thoroughly. He uncovered crucial evidence with expertise. He was a Powerhouse in the courtroom as well. I would fully recommend his services to anyone who has a civil rights claim. He will tell you straight up if you have a case before taking any money from you. The only complaint you will ever find about him is that he couldn't represent people that he didn't feel had a strong case. You will never find a more honest and straight shooting lawyer as Barry Diller.

I cannot say enough positive things about the Dyller Law Firm and its staff. Barry has exceptional legal knowledge and was eager to help me resolve my complicated civil action lawsuit. I am very pleased with Barry’s professionalism, compassion, and dedication to my case. He has been very supportive and updates me in a timely manner; he is very prompt with answering all my questions. He is detail oriented and formulates creative case strategies. I recommend him most highly.

Excellent Attorney
Attorney Dyller gave me a general overview and what to except when we first got started. He always returned phone calls and answered all my questions and kept me updated on what was happening with my case. His knowledge and expertise was outstanding. Attorney Dyller allowed me to make important decisions regarding my case and informed me of any changes, delays or setbacks. He gave me the information I needed to make good decisions. We reviewed everything and was always prepared. I highly recommend the Dyller Law Firm.

Great experience
Due to a false arrest and expense of my defense of charges I contact Mr. Dyller. Mr. Dyller was referred to me by another attorney, a close friend, who stated that Barry Dyller is the best in his field. I agree. I would reccommed Attorney Dyller to anyone. I have sent other clients to him and they all agree that Attorney Dyller is very professional, honest and intelligent.

Competent, practical and honest attorney
I used Mr. Dyller in a contract termination dispute, and he handled my case very well. I was well informed from the beginning about every step, and was constantly consulted on every action to be taken and throughout the whole process, I felt comfortable with his representation. I would highly recommend Mr. Dyller for his honesty, practicality and overall competency as an experienced attorney.

Attorney Barry Dyller Saved My Life!
Four years ago, I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury as a result of a random act of violence. It took many months of various therapies to help me recover. During that time, I was out on Disability from my job, with the promise that I could return when I was ready. Unfortunately, once I was cleared to return to work by my doctors, I was told that my company would not be bringing me back to work. I was devastated! Once the shock wore off, my husband and I sought the advice of Attorney Dyller on how best to proceed. We were unbelievably pleased at how quickly he responded to us. Our initial consultation was more than we could have expected for sure. We expected it to be the typical overview of facts with a lengthy plan of what-ifs. Not at all. Attny. Dyller reviewed the situation and immediately went to work dictating a letter to my company right on the spot! We couldn't believe how knowledgeable he was about employment and disability law, and how quickly he took action. My husband and I left there completely knowing we were in excellent hands - what a relief after so many months of recovery! Attny. Dyller provided us with quick updates and within a few short weeks, I was happily back to work with my company, and have been there ever since! I say he saved my life because without him, I wouldn't have been able to get back to work, and would have suffered severe financial consequences. Words cannot express how happy we were that we met Mr. Dyller and we would HIGHLY recommend him for any legal issue you might have. You won't be disappointed!! Thank you endlessly, Barry!

Comfortable client
The first thing I would like to state is how comfortable Attorney Dyller made me feel the very first time I sat down to discuss my case with him. I currently have an ongoing case that is filed in federal court and I could not beleive the time Attorney Dyller and his staff spent going over various documents and explaining legal terminolgy with me. I am a professional health care worker and have an 8 year college education and know absolutely nothing about the law. Attorney Barry Dyller is not just an aggressive attorney ready to fight for his clients, he is also a family man and an animal lover. I had various meetings with him at his office regarding my case and during our break time he really wanted to get to know me as a person and not just talk about the law suit, he even offered personal information regarding own his family and dog. I can't say enough about the experience I have had dealing with the stress of my case, but can say that Barry has made it more easy and comfortable for me. I recommend that if you are in a situation where you need a good, honest and hardworking lawyer to give him a call, I guarantee you will not be sorry!

This brilliant attorney cares about his clients
I have known Barry for many years. He is a fantastic criminal defense and civil court lawyer. I am a retired captain detective from a local police department. Barry represented clients I have arrested when he was a public defender years ago. He represented them very well and was highly successful in bringing the best possible result his clients could expect. He did not compromise when it came to doing his job. As a civil attorney he was instrumental in significant changes for the better in the local courtrooms and community as a whole. When I had a consult with him he was diligent and handled a matter much to my satisfaction. A great guy overall and cares about people and justice.

Lawsuit against a bank for mishandling trust assets
Attorney Dyller represented our church in a lawsuit against a bank for mishandling trust funds. We were very pleased with his professionalism and tenacity through the entire process. Our church was awarded a fair settlement thanks to Attorney Dyller. I have and will continue to refer Barry Dyller to anyone who could benefit from his services

WE LOVE ATTORNEY BARRY DYLLER!
Many years ago a family member got herself into some legal trouble when she was riding a quad down the railroad tracks… That was when we met Mr. Dyller for the first time. I will spare you and our family member the details of the story except to say that, if it were not for the extensive knowledge, research and super-fast response of Mr. Dyller, She likely would have spent some jail time and much money in fines. On yet another occasion, my son was picked up by the police department and questioned about a theft which apparently took place somewhere in our town. When I asked the police when this had occurred, they said that it had just taken place 30 minutes before hand. My son was home with us at that time, I explained. They cuffed him anyway and escorted him to the police car. Our neighbors looked at us like we were some sort of trouble makers, we were both embarrassed and appalled. As the police were pulling out of our driveway, I telephoned Mr. Dyller. I told the receptionist that it was urgent. Within seconds Mr. Dyller was on the phone with me. Within five minutes he was on the phone with the police department instructing them to either formally charge my son or release him. He instructed me to head out and pick up my son. The entire incident was over in less than thirty minutes and our son was home safely with us again. Two days later, the person who had allegedly committed the crime was arrested while in the process of committing another crime of the same nature (right next door to the first). If You Are Looking for an Attorney That Gets Straight to the Matter, Does His Due Diligence, Actually Returns Calls and Fights For You…BARRY DYLLER IS THE ONE! There is No Other Attorney that Can Top Him In Our Book! He Tells You the Facts, not some skirted version to get your money. He is Worth Every Penny He Charges and We Would Never Go Anywhere Else. He WILL Fight Hard For You! He fought for us and several friends that we have referred to him and EVERYONE OF THEM ARE PLEASED! Going to Court Without Him, Might Be Your Biggest Mistake Yet. We Highly Recommend Barry Dyller, an Attorney That You Can Count On!

Great Job Atty Dyller
Atty Dyller handled a case for me and my family, which was not a civil liberties case. He handled it with total professionalism. He kept me and my family informed throughout the entire process. Although no charges had been brought the situation certainly could have resulted in a Criminal charges, Atty Dyller handled it and we obtained the results we were looking for. His staff was also very professional in their dealings with my family and me. Keep up the good work Atty Dyller.

In it for the buck only
This attorney only cares about civil rights cases that he can make big money on. In my case he there was much fraud perpetrated by an overzealous detective. The court system was corrupt and the DA knowingly prosecuted me in a case he knew was weak and malicious. Dyller could care less. He just wanted to end the matter when he admitted that this was a court with low standards. Unless there is big money to make he'll dump you any way he can. Absolutely do not hire this guy. His wife is a judge and both of these characters are ultra liberals.
