Divorce and Separation 40%

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

Probate 40%

Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. If there is no will, the probate attorney advises which steps need to be taken to satisfy the state laws of intestate estates.

Honest and reliable

Radford has been patient and answered every question and concern I had about my case. Everything he says he will do, he does. My son was taken away and he got him brought back home to me. I had a prior attorney for several months and Radford did more in two months than my prior attorney did in seven... months. I can’t express my appreciation for what he has done for me, and I would highly recommend Him to anyone.

Efficient, effective advocate.

Mr. Dimmick handled my divorce to my satisfaction, and later successfully represented me in a support dispute. Highly recommend.

Amazing Lawyer Save my Kids and Me!

Mr. Dimmick has been an amazing lawyer hands down. He has opened up the opportunity for me to have my kids again, He has always been available to talk to and explained things very well. He went to court with me and stood up for me and my rights as the father of my kids. We have went through media...tion and court together actually. He also gave me the courage to stand up for myself and my kids which I know is not part of what I paid him for but he took that time time listen and help me understand the truth of what was going on. Mr. Dimmick has been very proactive in my case always looking ahead and let me know what was coming up . The money that we have paid him I feel was very reasonable and can't ever compare to the work that he has done for the kids and I. I would recommend him 1000% with out question.

Great guy, Great attorney!

Mr. Dimmick was professional and kind. He walked us through a very sensitive matter. Law suites can wear you down and sometimes they don’t work out the way you want them to. He made sure to let us know how things would go from his years of experience. If you need an attorney to help you with fami...ly matters, Mr. Dimmick is your guy.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Mr. Dimmick for many years. I once practiced in an office down the hall, and had the privilege of being able to walk in and "pick his brain" almost anytime I needed. When I personally needed a Will I went to Rad. (... and I know you would think a lawyer would be able to draft his own Will. But I needed experience.) Rad was my first choice. When my grandfather passed and I needed probate help... same thing. I have always been able to depend on Rad for a answer to my legal question about Wills and Estate Planning... and then some. I am happy to endorse my friend Radford Dimmick as a "go to" lawyer on Wills, Probate & Estate Planning."

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.
