Liar

For context I am a young girl and Mark took advantage of that. He charged an insane amount to help me with my wreckless ticket but I agreed to it so that’s on me. When I met him at court he lied to me and told me that he could get it off my record and all I had to pay was court fees. He told me word ...for word that it won’t be on my record. I was so relieved and happy I thought I got off scott free. Later on I go and check my public records and I admitted guilty to failure to pay attention. I’m not mad that I got that charge but I’m mad that he lied to my face and had me sign something that I didn’t know what I was signing for. Then, many months later after my court case maybe 6 months have gone by and he told me that I never paid him and that he will be taking legal action against me, a very threatening message out of the blue. I showed him my bank statement of me paying him before we even went to court and he didn’t even have the decency to respond.

Reckless Speeding in Loudon

He may be good in Fairfax County, but not impressed in Loudon County. I had a perfect record(plus 5). Had me take two driving courses before court and still ended up with the conviction, big fine and got probation for a year and have to do community service.

great results

Extremely easy to work with. Sent our information, had a telephone discussion with Mr. Dycio, and he proposed a settlement with the best results we could have hoped for. Not the cheapest attorney, but we definitely got what we paid for. I would use Mark again if I have another traffic violation (b...ut praying that we don't, of course). The final results were as Mark stated he would try to get from the Officer and prosecutor.

Military Friendly Lawyer

I met with Mark on recommendation from a friend. He is a big supporter of the military and will do his best to get you a good outcome. He took care of everything behind he scenes and made me feel assured we would get a good outcome for my traffic offense. Charge was totally dismissed. I would highly ...recommend Mark to anyone needing a good traffic lawyer.

The absolute best.

Mr Dycio without a doubt is the best lawyer I have ever retained. I was accused by the commonwealth for a variety of criminal and traffic matters that if found guilty would seriously hinder my career and studies. Mr Dycio from our initial meeting left no doubt in my mind that I was in good hands. I c...onsulted with multiple lawyers before meeting with Mr Dycio, some asking almost double what he asked for the same cases. I was not at all looking for a good deal, but for the best attorney. I had been told by many people of Mr Dycios reputation as the best; Mr Dycio personifies everything you expect from an attorney, he will not sugar coat anything, he will not hold your hand. Although he may not be easy to get a hold of, everyone in his office are extremely pleasant to deal with, and ensure messages reach Mr Dycio, he reaches back out personally very promptly. Every question I had for Mr Dysio was answered correctly and professionally, however always with an undertone of "let me do my job" and that is truly all you need to do. Pay Mr Dysio, and sit back. Mr Dysio represented me for 4 cases, and got 4 dismissals. I will never hire another attorney again. Mr Dysio is a legend in the court house, and rightfully so.

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."
