Thorough and Knowledgeable

Curtis Dickinson explained in detail what to expect and how to proceed. I appreciated his candor. He was kind and thorough. Although it took a while to settle he walked me through the process seamlessly even when it seemed confusing and sometimes scary.

Auto wreck with injuries

Curtis and his team helped us through the entire process from start to the finish of arbitration; explained what was going on and make sure we were kept informed. Would hire them again!

Excellent Attorney for Injury Case--I Was Justly Compensated

In my injury case I had hired 2 other attorneys, who did not return my calls or take interest in my case. I was miserable with my injuries, trying to recover and the people I hired to protect my rights. Out of frustration and ready to give up I sought recommendation through friends, and was given Mr.... Dickinson name. Mr. Dickinson took my case in the direction that was needed. He is a man of action and true to his word. Mr. Dickinson and his team were responsive to me and let me know what steps were being taken and what was needed from me. He did not allow the apposing attorneys take the lead in the direction of my case; he truly battled them on the legal front. My case was unique in that is was both workers compensation and personal injury. His recommendation for a workers compensation attorney to assist was and excellent choice as well. Because of the work that Mr. Dickinson did on my case I was justly compensated for my injuries at last. I would highly recommend the Dickinson Law firm, he and his team will worked diligently on my case. On a score of 1-10 Mr. Dickinson would be a 10++.
