The Dycio Dismissal

Mark represented me for a first time DUI. He is extremely knowledgeable and confident. He's not going to coddle you through the process, but if you care about results, he is DEFINITELY your man. Offer was on the table to drop down the DUI to ensure no jail time, but he was adamant that he could ge...t it dismissed (even though I thought it was a pretty open and shut case). With a flat fee, I would have thought he would have just recommended taking the deal and being done with it, but he was committed to getting it dismissed. And about 3 minutes into the trial he did just that! Lifesaver. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Excellent Attorney

I have retained Mark Dycio multiple times including: a DWI (>.20), misdemeanor assault, and reckless driving charge (90 in 55). All three charges had me facing jail time. Mark was a consummate professional, incredibly diligent and meticulous, and he found ways to get the charges dismissed. Retain...ing Mark has been worth every penny, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone in the need of premium legal representation.

Mark is the best lawyer!

Mark is an amazing lawyer. He is outstanding and definitely fights for the best deals. In May 2014 I was charged with a DUI. Mark got my DUI charge dismissed! He is definitely the man for the job. In court Mark was very confident and professional. Mark gets the job done with excellent outcomes! He is... worth every penny!

Absolutely THE best!

Represented me in a Class 1 misdemeanor case involving a firearm. Handled the case magnificently. Charges were dismissed with prejudice and my record expunged. Could not be happier with the results or the level of personal attention and solid counsel in the lead up to trial and the trial itself. ...Just terrific. I highly recommend Mark he's a real pro who you will want on your side!

He Never Showed Up

Hired him for a federal case. I had multiple hearings which he didn't attend. Instead a young inexperienced attorney who admitted he had no experience in federal court continued to show up. Each time he said "Mark couldn't make, but he'll be here next time". I got rid of them once I got wise to w...hat was going on, but I was in a huge disadvantage because I only had about a week to get a new attorney and prepare for a federal trial.

"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."
