Worst lawyer

I hired this guy in 2019 and he didn't file one motion on my behalf and lied to me about knowing georgia law and let me not forget paid another lawyer to do his job. Easy eighteen grand he ever made smh lies on top of lies.

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.

Divorce

Lucas X. Dillon Sr. was my divorce Lawyer. Right from the introduction he was very honest and did a great job explaining to me the process of divorce. He was always quick to respond to my emails and questions. Lucas was at all times very professional but also sensitive to my situation. His communicat...ion with my now ex-husbands Lawyer was excellent. And as you can see from the last sentence, his services were very successful. I would recommend Lucas X. Dillon Sr. to anyone.

Posted by Gary | December 14, 2014 | Foreclosure

Land Contract foreclosure

Commencing in September 2012 Lucas litigated a Land Contract foreclosure for us. Despite continuous opposition from the other party, the foreclosure was completed in early 2013. Lucas was diligent, professional, and knowledgeable. I would recommend him very highly.

Posted by anonymous | December 08, 2014 | Domestic Violence

Domestic violence

I had a domestis violence charge. Lucas showed compassion for my situation and my family. He guided us through this trying and emotional time. His legal advice minimized the legal and finical impact to me and my family.

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."
