No

Has no regard for human life, his clients life, his clients kids lives. He will withhold information, and put your children in the hands of their abuser.

Highly recommended

Paul has represented me for many years as my civil and criminal defense attorney. My case was the never ending case. Regardless, how many times we prevailed, the opposing team was relentless. They were good at putting charts together and smothering you with paper work. The average person looking at... the case would only see what they thought was a case with merit. Paul and his team took the time and due diligence to dig through the so called evidence that was provided, which was no easy feat. Being very tenacious, he was able to prove that what was being presented was not true in its entirety and thus blowing holes in the case. Every time the Plaintiff brought something to the table, Paul found discrepancies in their evidence and this happened throughout both cases.. Eventually, what evidence that was left held little merit. Whether your criminal case is complex or simple, a lot can happen in the criminal process to derail your future. I cannot overstate to you the importance of choosing the right attorney to represent you when you face criminal charges. It is the single most important decision of your life you will make, and Paul Daiker is the best person you can trust to represent you to the utmost. You need an attorney who is honest, aggressive, hard-working, and who knows his stuff and the law. He will always treat you with respect and dignity and has great patience. I would highly recommend Paul and his staff without hesitation.

Thorough and qualified Attorney

We were referred to Paul Daiker's firm by another attorney who was a friend of our family. Our son was facing very serious charges. Paul and his team believed in our son, and worked hard to prove his innocence. Through their investigation, the team uncovered extremely important evidence, and were ver...y knowledgeable of the court system. Paul was always available to answer our questions and, if not, would return our calls in a timely manner. He and his team were well prepared for trial, which resulted in greatly reduced charges for our son. We are forever grateful for Paul Daiker and his firm.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I give this lawyer my unqualified endorsement. I have had a number of cases with Attorney Daiker as opposing counsel and found him to be smart and more importantly always prepared. If a client were to retain retain Attorney Daiker they could feel confident that they have made the right choice. He is one of very few attorneys in the area that I wound retain if I needed representation, and that is the highest endorsement that I can give an attorney."
