I am pleased to state that I have opened my own law firm, Paul Daiker Law, LLC, after more than 25 years at Zukerman, Daiker & Lear. I am continuing to represent clients in the areas of Criminal Defense, OVI/DUI Defense, Family Law, Personal Injury and Civil Rights. I am an attorney who is not afraid to try a case, having had numerous Jury and Bench trials, as well as many hearings before Judges and Magistrates. However, I am also a firm believer that most cases should not go to trial, and some should not even be fully litigagted. Therefore, I will work with you to explore all avenues of resolution of your case.

Mr. Daiker handled my case thoroughly. He is knowledgeable in this area and provided support to me throughout the process. I was able to gain the custody I sought after and would recommend Mr. Daiker to others.
"Attorney Daiker's approach to legal representation and counseling is excellent. His willingness to work tirelessly for his clients is to be commended. I know that it is appreciated by his clients."
"Paul is a terrific attorney, committed to his clients, and very hard working. I have referred several matters to him, and received positive feedback from those individuals regarding the quality of Paul's work."
"I endorse this lawyer because he is constantly a professional, energetic and well-respected criminal defense atty. I refer many of my clients who need guidance and representation and he has never disappointed. Hid demeanor and temperament set him apart from most other attorneys. If you are looking to do yourself and your client a favor, call Paul. If you need legal help yourself with a criminal law matter, you'll be glad you interviewed and considered Paul."
"I endorse this lawyer. Paul is an excellent attorney and extremely nice person. He obtains great results for his clients."
"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."
