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.

Best attorney I have used!

I am currently using Mr. Dimmick. I must say he is one of the most sympathetic and caring people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He listens, he is very thorough in his investigations of the case. He takes his time to explain things and makes sure you understand everything. He answers every ...single question. He responds promptly to emails. He is honest and upfront about the case,, how he will handle the case,, and what happens each step of the way. If he is unable to answer your phone calls he returns the calls as soon as humanly possible. He has an absolutely wonderful personality and maintains an excellent professionalism. I would not hesitate one second to use his services again and I will certainly recommend him to anyone!

5 STAR+

Radford is very gifted in his ability to navigate the turbulent waters of Family disputes, Trust Law, and the Courts. He helped us achieve a more than satisfactory outcome in a matter involving sibling co-trustees that were acting improperly. He made sure that we understood the pros and cons of each ...step/action we took.

My " Forever" attorney!

Wow there's so much that I can say about Mr. Dimmick! My stepfather died with a substantial estate. Unfortunately he didn't leave a will. Mr. Dimmick explained the process in layman's terms. He also communicated to the family every step that he would take . Not only did he keep us informed, he also p...eriodically gave us personal phone calls just to see how we were doing. He was totally available to answer any questions in a timely manner. Losing a loved one can be stressful and the legal process can be difficult to navigate, but Mr. Dimmick was both profesand caring. caring. I highly recommend this attorney 100%!

A Lawyer's Lawyer!

I've been practicing law for 23 years...but there are things that even I don't know. When i run into one of those, I call Rad Dimmick. He has represented me in multiple matters, not the least of which was a breach of contract on the sale of our primary home. The buyer backed out last minute with no ...reason... the Realtor said "Oh well... this happens. We will just sell it to somoene else". ??? I said What??? "THIS doesn't happen... at least not legally!". Now we have two homes, two mortgages, and alot of stress. This buyer was not willing to close on our home. I didn't know what to do... and my wife says... "Call Rad!"! Within 10 months (a record for that kind of lawsuit)... we had a judgment for the closing of our home, plus a quite large sum of damages on top of the purchase price... including all attorney fees. WHOA... what a relief. I know that i could not have done that myself. I'm just grateful for lawyers like Rad Dimmick. If you hire him... you will be uber pleased with the result. He's a fighter for sure.

Probate lawyer | Sep 22

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."
