He knows what he is doing

Paul was great to work with. I was certain I was facing jail time after being charged with domestic violence a second time in a six month span on the same person. Although the victim was inaccurate in her statements, I had an uphill battle. When I told him my goal was no jail time, while I was frea...king out, he did his best to keep me calm and although I had to take a plea for a misdemeanor I was able to get probation. I'm thankful I hired him and he's worth every penny

Life Saver

I couldn’t be more appreciative and satisfied with the level of service and representation I received from Paul Dickman. Not only was Paul able to assist in getting the judge to overthrow an uninformed guilty plea to a DUI charge I had made prior to receiving any legal council, he was also able to po...sition my case to a jury trial which resulted in a successful Not Guilty verdict. As a person who is very educated but has very little knowledge and familiarity with the legal system, i found great comfort with Paul handling my case - which is exactly how you want to feel when you are facing stressful criminal allegations. The night that I was arrested and charged unlawfully with a DUI, i had no idea what my options were and how to proceed. This is a scary position to be in, because I ultimately just felt like my only option was to settle and accept the charges. On my behalf, my boyfriend did some quick research and gave Paul a call at 1AM that night, and he actually answered and provided guidance. Within 24 hours, he was in action pursuing information and helped me realize the importance and benefit to fighting the charges. Over a period of 6 months, I faced several appearances in court. Paul was always present and very communicative, preparing me for each step of the process. I felt like he handled my case carefully, but aggressively, was attentive and also super personable and really listened. Paul exhibited an attention to detail and his experience in navigating DUI cases served as a great asset when cross examining the police officer and pin pointing major mis-steps in the handling of my case. He and his associate, Martin, were sharp and on point with their decisions during the jury selection process, and in the end, I felt Paul was able to tell my story and connect with the jury in a way that ultimately resulted in a huge win and the end of a terrible nightmare for me. I can’t say enough good things! And although I hope to never face such an experience again, I am happy to have the contact info for a very solid lawyer in my phone should i ever need any legal guidance in the future.

Saved my Career!

If you are facing a potentially life altering situation you should hire Paul. Here's why: I was charged with a Felony with a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison. As a Defense Contractor with a Top Secret clearance I faced job loss and a lifetime of reduced income if I was charged with even a signif...icant misdemeanor. Paul used his considerable savvy and experience during my case to passionately pursue justice as if I were a relative. I've never met anyone that combined as much humility and passion in pursuit of professional excellence. The result...the case was completely dismissed...unbelievable! My family and I never have never had a happier moment than hearing the words "case dismissed". Bottomline: If you face trouble and need an energized, smart lawyer to help navigate the legal system - hire Paul.

My experience

I am a first time offender so I didn't know what to expect. Paul was very specific in what was going to happen. Paul is very knowledgeable about the law and immediately put me at ease. When I had a question, he got back to me quickly and stayed in contact with me the whole time. He is very profession...al and well worth the money I paid! Court turned out like he said. I got probation and soon it will be expunged from my record. I would highly recommend Paul Dickman as a lawyer.

A+ effort and communication skills

I hired this lawyer in the brink of the moment and he showed up, put in full effort into my case, was very friendly, had great communication, and was the right lawyer for me. Paul is a great man and anyone in trouble should definently consider calling this man.
