Lack Of Communication

Unfortunately, I can not recommend Mr. Dillon. I obtained Mr. Dillon for a very simple matter that should have been completed within a short amount of time. I received very little communication from Mr. Dillon and his office. I was left in the dark about what effort he was putting into my matter a...nd any progress he had made. It was very hard to make contact with Mr. Dillon via his office. Twice upon calling to speak with Mr. Dillon, I was informed that he was on vacation. Clients were not advised that Mr. Dillon would be on vacation and would be unreachable. After making several (5-7 attempts) at contacting Mr. Dillion via phone, email, and by letter I finally gave up. Fast forward 8 months now, I still have received no contact from Mr. Dillon. Unbelievable to say the least.

Excellent!

I was so lucky that a friend recommended Luke to me! He was excellent, answered all my questions throughout the entire case! Always answered in a timely manner and provided me with good, honest advice! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help me with my case!

Exceptional Top-Notch Lawyer

I speak for myself and my family when I say that Mr. Dillon did an outstanding job helping myself recently on two cases I had before Eaton County Circuit Court. Needless to say, my family and I were worried sick about what to do and how to do it. But Mr. Dillon calmed me down rapidly, accessing the s...ituation. He was able to quickly develop a defense strategy for each case and rapidly brought each to a swift conclusion with better than expected results. Mr. Dillon went beyond the call of duty by taking a sincere interest in my immediate and long term well being. He was always keeping in-touch and made himself available with continuing pertinent updates as each case progressed. Knowing the legal playing fields, he maneuvered through hurdles and brought home the best results that we could have hoped for. With his help, all is well now and I recommend him mighty. I will keep his number and will utilize only his excellent legal expertise, should I need it in the future. I very much recommend him highly to anyone seeking legal counsel!!

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."
