Making a false police report

I had a warrant that I didn't know about from 2018 for making a false police report. I was issued a warrant and didn't know about it because I had moved out of state and the detective was mad that they couldn't reach me. Mr.Dickstein was very up front and honest with me and gave me all of my options... for my case. He was very good with answering my calls and returning them. I was very pleased with him and he was able to get me the best outcome which was a diversion program, where I was able to walk a way with no record. His price was really good, I just had the best experience I could have asked for. I highly recommend Mr.Dickstein.

I ended up ta...king 2yrs probation. Yes I recommend him Highly...

Case dismissed, thank you!!!

I can’t thank Jonah Dickstein enough for his outstanding work on my case. I was facing false charges of misuse of the 911 or E911 system and resisting an officer without violence, brought against me by an angry officer when I was never arrested. From the beginning, Jonah demonstrated a deep understan...ding of the legal system and an impressive knowledge of the law. Rather than wasting time and money in court, he worked to secure a pretrial deferment, which ultimately led to my case being dismissed. Jonah is incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and effective attorney. He turned a stressful situation into a manageable process and achieved the best possible outcome for me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
