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.

The Best

Abrupt but does not waste time with chit chat. Billing accurate to minute and not rounded up. Yes, as reviews say, he is abrupt, but does not mince words. Honest and will not settle. He is a fighter. So if you want best and not fluff, hire this man! I’ve had 40 years experience with attorneys, he is... always prepared.

extremely rude

Mark Dycio called me on July 26th around 9am and was very belligerent. He would not let me get a word in. and was simply yelling at me to give him a recording of a session between me and any accounting client hat we record online. I stated that I had to hung up and not sure if he could hear me over t...he his yelling. There he kept calling me back and I had to block his number. I did sent a complaint to the Virgina State Bar.

Great lawyer

Do not expect for you to hear from him before court date. But when the time comes he is there. He got me of a reckless and a 2nd dwi at trial, aggressive and it was a dog fight. Will recomen him 150%

Charge Dismissed

I was charged with reckless driving and I tried to fight it without a lawyer and that took 3 month when the judge postponed the dates even if the officer was not present. I hired Mark and he gathered all the evidence and the date of the hearing he explained to the judge how the bureaucracy of the ent...ire court process took my time as well as the judges and the judge threw the case and dismissed the entire charge. Mark was very professional and to the point. I highly recommend him.

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."
