About Paul

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.

      Review Paul Daiker

      Highly recommended

      5.0 stars

      Posted by

      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.

      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 very 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.

      Would use Paul's services for any legal challenges

      5.0 stars

      Posted by

      I must share that Paul Daiker has always been exceedingly professional, responsive and accessible to our family during trying times. In fact, there are several times that I have needed his services durning evening and weekend hours and I've always reveived a response; almost immediately. Paul is truly understanding to the client's needs. I know that he does his best to service his client to the best of his ability. That being said, it is obvious that Paul has earned credibility, integrity, and is known for his high ethical standards amongst his colleagues and others in the courtroom. I wouldn't use anyone else to service the ones I love.

      Unstoppable, doesn't miss anything!

      Paul has represented me for many years (domestic relations). About every year and a half or so my Ex brings me back to court. Paul is unstoppable. Not even the "big bad bully" (not saying his name) can intimidate Paul or get him to back down. It's funny how they keep thinking they are going to win "this time", when in actuality, every time they come at us, they end up going backwards. Paul is detail oriented. He Knows how to help articulate what is actually happening and provide both a UN-yielding defense and an aggressive offense. I would recommend Paul to just about anyone for domestic relations. I hear he is good on the criminal side too, but lucky for me, never have needed him for that!

      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.

      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.
