Mark David Dickstein

In April 2017, I was hurt at work, badly, and the Workmen's Company kept throwing me between adjusters, rescheduling appointments and misdirecting why I wasn't getting help. Finally, I realized, I needed an attorney. I was incredibly apprehensive about hiring an attorney for my Workmen's Comp case, a...nd I searched people, read reviews, contacted people, and interviewed other attornies prior to deciding on Mark Dickstein. As I am in North Florida, and Mr. Dickstein is in South Florida we only met one time, the day of mediation. Prior to our meeting, I had multiple (*see all my searches and research in advance*) calls, emails, and he and his staff dealing with my anxiety over this process. He and his incredibly calm and wonderful staff eased my nerves. I have many medical issues and that came into the back and forth with Workmen's Comp for almost a year, during that year, my employer lets me go, and life got really, really hard. So, the pressure was on me and I kept emailing, calling, asking "how can I help," "what can I do?" I am originally up from up North, I am aggressive, as is he, but, remember, he is just as aggressively fighting for you, and your case. He was able to make a process that made it hard for my family, my entire life, a lot easier. When we finally met, for mediation, we spent hours working towards my goal - getting my medical needs and bills cared for, getting reimbursed for the time I could not work, all of that. And then, you would think "oh, he's an attorney, he made a killing," but no, he opted to take the least amount that an attorney can take for Workmen's Comp, and then made sure that he took only his billable hours that he worked, and I feel he underbilled that as well. He, in my opinion, underpaid himself to make sure that my family and I would have money to survive on while I get well. Make no mistake, that is not a mark of an attorney seeking accolades, that is a good person, who cares and makes sure that his clients actually have the chance to get well. I wish there were not only more attornies but humans like him in the world. God forbid anyone I know is hurt or needs an attorney, there is not a question in my mind, Mark Dickstein is the FIRST person I would tell them to call. My suggestion is, you are reading this - call him, talk to his staff and make the best decision you can, HIRE HIM. Mr. Dickstein, should you ever read this, thank you, words are never going to be enough, but thank you for everything.
