Very excellent and honest attorney who will fight for you.

Went above and beyond what needed to be done. Was told upfront what he was going to try and do and what all was going to be done as well as the total cost. Was in jail in another state facing extradition because of a felony warrant in KY. After 10 other attorneys told me not to waste my money and to... just wait for extradition (which could of been an additional 90 days)because there was no attorney that could get this done and that they just wanted my money. However after talking with Paul I felt very comfortable with him and Paul Dickman said he would fight for us and did just that he was able to convince the Prosecutor and Judge to set aside my bond to allow me to get out and come back to KY and take care of this charge in person. Paul thanks again for everything and we will highly recommend Paul Dickman to anyone we know or will listen to us.

Excellent Attorney

We are not from KY but when we had legal issues in the state of KY we randomly chose Paul Dickman and he turned out to be a God send for strangers to KY law! Paul not only responded immediately to our inquiry but he handled our case and kept us well informed. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul h...e is very approachable, knowledgeable of the law and professional.

More than just a DUI!

I chose Paul Dickman to represent me on the advice of a friend for whom Paul had handled a rather tricky felony charge (successfully). Paul handled a DUI case for me in 2012 that had more major ramifications than simply losing my license or getting higher insurance rates; as a foster parent, I ran th...e risk of losing my fostering status if convicted of the charge. Paul understood this and undertook every effort to gain an acquittal (which he did). He examined the charges from every angle, questioned everything. He got the police video thrown out because it didn't sync to real time (by only a matter of a few seconds -- ingenious!) and even managed to block a good portion of the officer's testimony. Throughout the process, he kept me very involved and informed, texting or calling me to report every development, no matter how minor (although, as a defendant, nothing ever felt minor to me!). He explained the process thoroughly so that there were no surprises along the way, told me what to expect, and gave me constant encouragement and reassurance throughout. We wound up taking the case to trial, and Paul's cross-examination of the arresting officer had the poor man so flummoxed that I actually wound up feeling for the poor guy (hey, the officer was just doing his job...). The case that had me so stressed for months wound up with a unanimous not-guilty jury verdict in under forty minutes of deliberation. Would I recommend the services of Paul Dickman? Absolutely. He may not have actually saved my life, but at the time that's certainly what it felt like. And on a really happy ending note, Paul even recommended the family attorney when my wife and I wound up adopting the little boy we had fostered for a few years. Although I hopefully will not be requiring legal counsel any time soon, Paul Dickman is certainly who I will turn to if the need ever arises.
