The Lawyer of all Lawyers!

Rarely do you find a lawyer who honestly, really does look out for your interest. I was recently charged with a Reckless Driving (speeding 20+) by a VA State Trooper earlier in the summer and after trying to fin d a lawyer who 1) was not insanely expensive and 2) who was someone I could rely on, I ...realized it was not going to be simple. Knowing that a Reckless stays on your record for 11 years, I could not afford to have this conviction.stay with me since my driving record is really not the best, average at the most. Now I have had tickets in the passed and my license suspended before so I was figuring my luck has run out. But then one day my friend told me to call Mark Dycio. So I gave him a call, told him what I needed and Mark was on it. Come court day, not only did he get the Reckless reduced to speeding (under 20mph), but he took it back to trail and furthered reduced it from Speeding to Improper Driving. I mean what more can you ask from a lawyer. I was happy that he got it reduced just to speeding.This is what I mean when I say he really does look at for you. I would definitely recommend Mark as a lawyer to anyone looking for great service and a professional person who will get the job done.

Toughest man around

Mr. DCL is by far hands-down the best attorney in the state of Virginia! Everyone knows Virginia is extremely hard when it comes to reckless driving. I found out the hard way. Going nearly double the speed limit because I wasn't paying attention Mr. Dycio handled my case with complete professionalis...m. Because a reckless driving is listed as a misdemeanor I was on the verge of losing my job! Needless to say I know longer have to worry about that charge being on my record because I was found not guilty. He took the time to analyze the statute and get my case dismissed! I didn't hire him to be my friend I hired him to help me with my case and he did just that. I am forever grateful for his services!! You won't regret having Mr. Dycio on your side!

Excellent

I used Mark Dycio on the recommendation of my brother. I read the reviews and decided that a family member's recommendation was as good as it got. He was informative, professional and courteous. Bottom line - case dismissed.

Best Referal I've ever gotten

Earlier this year when I found myself in a rather unfortunate situtation I visited several law firms over the course of a week and was ready to secure counsel when nearly half a dozen acquiantences came out of the wood work to recommend Mr. Dycio based on their experiences/results with him. I visite...d his office the next day and retained his counsel on the spot. Over the course of the next five months there was very little communication, but this is fine as I know nothing about the law wouldn't have needed the stress anyway. I simply showed up to court when he told me too. In a complex case Mr. Dycio was able to garner me the best outcome possible, 2 of 4 charges dropped entirely and 2 others reduced or suspended with no DUI. Mr. Dycio and his firm literally saved my professional career.

Best in Town!

Mr. Dycio went about and beyond to not only ensure that I understood what was happening in my case but he had my DWI dismissed! He was worth every dollar and I could not be happier!!! I have referred my family and friends to him. He has over 20 years of experience!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am a lawyer with the same practice as Mark. I have observed him in action, in and out of the courtroom, and i am awed by his overall skills. In the courtroom there is none better. Mark knows the law and will never back down to a Judge or a prosecutor in the zealous representation of his clients. When there are legal problems, in my practice, I turn to Mark Dycio. Mark resolves them without hesitation. If I was personally in need of a lawyer I would hire Mark Dycio. He is a lawyer's lawyer, and sometimes a magician!!!"

"I've known Mark professionally for more than 15 years. I can say that he is one of the finest defense attorneys I know. He will fight for you in situations where many others will cave. He is creative with new defenses and uses them to obtain good results. I frequently consult him for a second opinion."

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mark is a highly accomplished and seasoned criminal defense and commercial lawyer. A skillful negotiator and masterful litigator, he comes ready to fight. Mark never shirks from the opportunity to take a case to trial. The demeanor, confidence, and wit he exhibits in the courtroom are impressive. Thinking on his feet is second nature and his instincts are right on. He is adept at challenging evidence and witness, and developing new arguments. It is one thing to win a case with good facts, but "making something out of nothing" in a case with facts not so favorable to your client requires a special set of skills and talent."
