Won't let you down

Was falsely accused of a terrible crime. The first three lawyers I spoke to terrified me. Said that innocent or not, I would eventually be booked and spend time in jail during the trial. From the moment I first spoke to Paul, he immediately calmed my nerves. Told me he believed I was innocent and... that he would do everything it took to keep me from ever being charged. He trusted me enough to let me take a polygraph test, which eventually proved my innocence and led to the whole thing being dropped without me ever being charged. If your facing anything serious, and need a lawyer you can trust, you'd better call Paul.

I don't have any reason not to rate Excellent in every catagory. Paul gave me more than a fighting chance, he gave me my family

I stumbled upon Paul Dickman just by chance during an ugly custody case. A new employee at my workplace had overheard my conversation with my then current attorney and recommended his "friend". Desperate and skeptical I arranged a consultation. My normal past experiences with attorneys went like th...is " My price is $____ per hour, $____ per court appearance, $____ per everything else...so what's your problem" Paul had a totally different demeanor. He took immediate interest, listened to me state my grievances, looked at the stack of paperwork I had compiled and by the time I had finished he had already discovered something the court system never caught...she had warrants!! We eventually got around to pricing and Paul is not the cheapest but BY FAR the best value. His sales pitch was the best I've ever heard. " A good attorney knows the law, a GREAT attorney knows not only the law but the judge, prosecutor etc etc" His personality immediately puts you at ease. As a result of Paul's work and research I won full custody of my two boys! We have been a happy little family for over 7 years, the little boys are now young men. His professionalism is unique and strong but his personable skills are unmatched in his field, over the past 7 years Paul had long forgotten the details of my case but had remembered my sons' names! I will continue to use and recommend Paul Dickman for as long as I need legal services.

He really is that good!

I will start off by saying I really don't like attorneys period. Paul is the exception. Our case is much different than most. It was a scenario of not knowing how the injury happened. It took almost a year to "connect all the dots." Paul has worked very hard and did tons of research. He gave me... advice that I didn't really want to hear at times. But, hindsight he was right. Honesty and integrity go a very long way. Not once did he give up and gave encouragement to us when it was needed. He knows the law even in the "gray areas" that isn't written clearly in the law books. I lost of ton of time and money hiring the wrong attorneys. I am glad I found this attorney at the right time. He actually thinks before jumping the gun and I can tell you some other attorneys don't. Paul isn't the cheapest attorney but when it comes to your life and your family- second best isn't good enough. Paul is always responsive via text, email or phone. Over the last year or so; he has responded on weekends, late evenings and even early morning when others are still asleep. I could not imagine going through this tough time in our lives with someone else representing us- he truly does have my family's best interest in mind.

Unbelieveable Attorney

I found myself in some trouble that I was not familiar with, and was beyond scared. I called Mr. Dickman based on the fact of other reviews that he had received and set up a meeting time with him to go and discuss the case. He was very flexible in the meeting times and was very willing to listen ov...er the phone and told me to relax that he would help me figure this out in the best way possible. The day that we meet, we sat down and went over all of the details. After the details were discussed - he went over all of the possible scenarios that could happen. He asked me what my goals were and that he would fight for those goals as best as he could. Again, told me to relax that he would figure out the best possible solution. After a few days he called me and updated me on what was going on with the case and he told me that after talking to the other party that he was able to resolve the matter - nothing else was needed. All of my goals were met, beyond anything that I could have imagined. I know that I will never find myself in that situation again, however, I will be referring Mr. Dickman to anyone that I know that finds themselves in trouble. He is caring, he listens for understanding and he does what he says.

The rusted trailer!

My husband and I have known Paul for several years now, we meet him re-guarding a suit my Great Uncle was involved in and have stayed in contact since( 6-7 years). My husband and I took in what we thought was a friend in off the ...street to help out and ended up in a bad situation. Long story starts now, my husband helped the guy haul a trailer to the junk yard (gaining nothing more then fuel money) believing him when he said he had permission from his girlfriends(was present) parents from the family owned property( no tickets in my husbands name, it was in theirs) to find out with in weeks that they both were hooked on heroin, I turned them into social services(they had a new baby), said friend and his girlfriend had a falling out and she tells Daddy that her babies dad and my husband stole some stuff from their property.....The night mare for my family starts here, my husband is charged with receiving stolen property over ten thousand dollars, I called Paul, he moved fast to have my husband released from jail (thank god)! My husband ends up taking the alford peal( meaning taking deal but refusal to admit guilt ) and agrees to diversion for 3 years( no more money to keep fighting and just wore out at this point) thinking that all will be ok and we can move on with our lives, WRONG! My husband is to report to probation monthly and they want all guns removed from house, we live in a split family home with my father all guns were in my fathers living quarters, and we had no access to), blah blah blah he is rearrested when Probation goes back on their word that they will come out and look at the house and then make a decision! All this happens a mist my father becoming very ill and being in the hospital having two surgeries within four days, Paul knew I had to have my husbands help , I work two jobs and have a child at home, my father is being released from the hospital with the understanding someone will be with him 24 hrs, Thanks to Paul and his big heart I have my husband everyday out on furloughs to help care for my father until this all can be resolved hopefully by the grace of God! Paul has received calls and texts from me around the clock with questions and fear, he offers all the help he can and more! I would tell anyone in a bad spot as we are to call him! He is very caring and takes his job above and beyond what is excepted of him!
