Great Attorney to work with!

Lucas did a full consult with me over the phone before I even hired him. He made me feel very confident and very comforting during a difficult situation I was facing. He worked hard and was able to get my situation down to basically nothing. I would recommend him to anyone, he is a very genuine perso...n and isn't just in it for the money!

Best lawyer

I was wrongly convicted of assault, and Mr Lucas due to his due diligence, got the case dismissed. If you need a genuine lawyer who is not all about money, pls consider this lawyer.

Outstanding attorney

I have hired so many lawyers and spent too much money, for no results. I believe that the lawyers that I hired, I did so on experience, you would think that experience would prevail. Well, after Four lawyers, that I have retained, with 20 yrs or more experience, I have never had a positive result. Wa...ste of money! Pls do not hire a lawyer because of experience. Our lawyer was Lucas Dillon, omg, this guy is so diligent, aggressive and Most of all, is honest, genuine and compassionate. Even after the case, despite he was no longer our attorney, he continued to advise us and help us our. If you want a good attorney, that will go to the end of the earth for you, you need to hire this attorney!!!!!! Do not waste your money on the Avvo experience nonsense!!!!!!!!!! Believe me, I have spent thousands on lawyers from the website to no avail, this guy was court appointed and better than any paid lawyer. Believe me !!!!!!!!!!

The Man

Lucas Dillon and his staff are very professional kept me fully informed on my case at all times phone, mai even a website kept me at ease through my situation. When my day came I was very pleased with the outcome.

Posted by Kim | February 11, 2015 | Criminal Defense

Did a great job, solid representation, very knowledgeable.

Luke represented me within a very brief timeline when I didn't have a clue about representation and/or the importance of someone speaking on my behalf. He took one look at my case and within minutes was very confident that that I should trust him and shut my mouth...and I did trust him. What could ha...ve been a disaster for me ended up becoming the best option available and I am extremely grateful. I have many friends who are lawyers but unfortunately (NOT in Michigan). I had no idea who to call and was convinced that since I had no prior criminal history, my sentence would be minimal. I am lucky that someone like Luke was present when I was unsure of the sobriety court process. I could have spent 30-60 days in jail which would not benefit my efforts in staying sober. I would certainly recommend Luke as he is knowledgeable, confident, and aware.

Unknown lawyer | Nov 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked both for and with attorney Dillon. As well, I have watched attorney Dillon try a number of difficult cases and litigate in both federal and state court. I enthusiastically endorse attorney Dillon. He is whip smart and has a tremendous work ethic. And, as noted by other attorneys elsewhere, attorney Dillon has a natural talent that can't be taught in school or picked up by way of experience. Attorney Dillon has an excellent reputation in the legal community and he earns that reputation every day in the way he conducts himself in court and the way he services his clients. I strongly recommend attorney Dillon without any reservation whatsoever."

Relationship: Other

"I strongly endorse Attorney Dillon without reservation. I have known Luke for four years, and in addition to being an exceptional attorney, he is an exceptional person. Luke possesses all of the right qualities that an attorney should be possess. He is smart, personable, hard working, passionate, and humble. With Luke, his clients can expect that he will clearly explain their legal problem and fight vigorously to obtain the best results on their behalf. Attorneys practice for years wishing they possessed the sort of qualities that he so naturally possesses. However, unfortunately, most will have to continue with their practice in envy knowing that Luke has that "extra something" which you cannot be taught in law school."
