Thomas Henry Dickenson

My firm has been associated with Mr. Dickenson since 1985. I have personally dealt with him since 1991. He represents us in several areas related to Credit Union operations including Collections, Bankruptcy, foreclosure, contract review and extensive legal research. His primary role as our att...orney has been representation in foreclosure and bankruptcy matters. He not only has extensive knowledge of the bankruptcy code and case law, he has a pristine reputation with the local Federal court system. He also has the respect of other law practitioners, both debtor and creditor slanted, which is extremely valuable when dealing with potentially contentious cases. On many occasions, I feel certain that other attorneys have decided that if Mr. Dickenson feels strongly enough about a case to let them know our position is to litigate if not resolved, they often resolve the case instead of facing him in a trial situation. In a trial environment or a deposition, his demeanor is one of someone organized and confident. He is not cocky or blustery, but is polished and authentic. This demeanor has served him well. He never talks down to the other parties in a case, but always right at them. He can be intimidating by his demeanor, but only due to his mannerisms. When on a break in depositions or trials, he is very polite and personable to the opposing parties. When it is time to talk under oath, he is very thorough and straight forward. As to foreclosures, he is completely knowledgeable in the statutes covering all the nuances of statutory and case law. On more than one occasion, a situation has arisen that scared me when a person of interest would raise an issue I was unfamiliar with only to find out Mr. Dickenson had addressed during the process. One case in particular involved an IRS lien. An agent went after me for not providing a certain notification to the IRS. I found out Mr. Dickenson had taken care of it properly during the foreclosure process. In summary, the fact that I have many choices and have still elected to use Mr. Dickenson for 24 years is a testament to the respect my company and I personally have for him. It is always satisfying to hear the relief a good attorney has when learning we are represented by him, and the sigh of resignation when a not-so-good attorney learns who represents us. While not obtaining total perfection in every issue for 24 years, he has more than exceeded my expectations and there are no plans to change. His rates are very fair, and he actually picks up the phone when called if he is in the office. His integrity is also without question which is very important to my firm and myself. I highly recommend Tom Dickenson for competent representation. While specializing in bankruptcy and foreclosure, he is well versed in many areas of the law and will only take cases that he believes are ethical and worthy. An individual or organization needing a good attorney, especially in bankruptcy, foreclosure, or contract matters cannot go wrong in choosing Mr. Dickenson.
