Dycio used to be a good lawyer but now doesn't care.

Mark Dycio, Esq. used to be well know as a very effective defense attorney. However, over the past few years many of his clients have received inferior representation from him and have gone elsewhere, myself included. He offs his cases now to his junior lawyers and pushes clients to accept the first ...plea bargain he gets whereas in the past he would have fought tooth and nail for a dismissal. He just no longer has any real fight left in him. The last time I used him I was quoted one rate but when the bill arrived it was not what he said it would be but rather a considerable amount more. When I asked him about it HE LIED and said he told me what it would be when he said no such thing. I've since used another lawyer for representation and the difference was apparent right away in both billing and the fight to win the case. I wish I had reviews like this one to rely on before I used Dycio in the first place. I certainly know better now.

I understand the purpose of a website such as this is to allow potential clients the opportunity to review their options and make an educated decision about an attorney they are considering hiring. However, it is too easy for a negative review to be written without proof or facts in the case so someone has the opportunity to defend themselves. I have no information with regard to this review or the case in question and cannot respond in any detail. I can however say that any person who walks down the hallway of the courthouse can independently confirm that I fight for each and every client. Any statement that I “push the first plea agreement” is patently false. To the contrary, I continue to fight tooth and nail for dismissals in order to protect my client’s best interest. It is safe to say that I try most every case as my clients expect and receive my best effort. Our clients receive first class and professional representation from this law firm. All fee quotes are made clear to clients during the initial consultation and letters of engagements are executed so there are no misunderstandings. We work tirelessly to obtain the best results for our clients. To the degree this review was written by a competitor lawyer shame on you.

Mark Dycio is a fighter!!!

I hired Mark to represent me for a first time DWI charge. I thought my situation was dire and not much could be done. I felt that my case was black and white with not many options. I was hoping to get a reduction to the charges and some leniency from the court since it was my first offense. I bel...ieved that would be my best result. When I first met Mark for the consultation he told me nothing but hard facts with no sugar coating. He explained to me the different types of scenarios that could occur in my case. I appreciated his directness and down to business attitude. On the court date I received an offer for a reduced sentence with no jail time. Mark could have accepted the deal but insisted that he could get a better outcome in court. Mark Dycio fought relentlessly and was successful in court. He successfully got the whole DWI charge dismissed and I was able to expunge the charge from my record. I thank Mark for his hard work and would recommend him to anyone who needs professional legal services. Mark is a fighter and is relentless in trying to get the best possible outcome for his clients. Thank You Mark!

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.

AMAZING DWI LAWYER....COMPLETELY DISMISSED

Hired Mark Dycio for my dwi charge first offense. I had crashed and totaled my car into a fire hydrant and blew a .17 also I am under the legal age to drink. All the other lawyers I talked to made it seem as though there was no way I could get off with it, I could only get it minimized. When I talked... to Mark he clearly stated it could go one way which I would be charged and have the interlock installed in my car, take asap classes, pay a fine, license suspended for a year, and five days in jail. Or the other way I could go I would be able to get not charged at all. I decided I would rather risk all of that for the possibility to get off. He is very helpful and knowledgeable, very likeable, kind and funny. I would have never hired another attorney. He doesn't keep you as update as you may like because hes very busy but it is so worth it. He maybe a little more expensive than other lawyers but he was able to give me a payment plan so I didn't have to pay it all at once. He got my charge completely dismissed and I wasn't charged with anything! He is the best person to hire if you have a dui/dwi.

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.
