Posted by Laura | January 13, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

With sencere gratitude for an outstanding job.

Our son had some serious charges back in 2020. I started out by looking in the yellow pages for criminal defense attorneys. I was frightened for our sons future. Some attorneys would not give me the time of day, others wanted a lot more money. I called and spoke with Attorney Dimmer and retained him.... When I met with him in his office I could see he was a good attorney. This is an understatement. If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you look no further. Attorney Dimmer is your man. We couldn't of asked for better results. He was kind and answered all our questions. He returned all my calls and answered all my messages. His fee was very reasonable. He got almost all of our sons charges dismissed. Our son was looking at prison or jail time. Thanks to Brian Dimmer he received only 2 months of jail time. We are so grateful. We couldn't have gotten these results from any other attorney. We highly recommend Brian Dimmer if you want someone who will fight for you. I can't say enough good things about this man. He gave our family hope and he never let us down. Thank you so much Mr. Dimmer. You are by far the best attorney we have had the pleasure working with.

Excellent Representation

We are beyond grateful for Attorney Dimmers representation in our case. We were the petitioner in our case. He advocated for us through the whole process and fought till the end. We were extremely impressed with how knowledgeable and confident he was during our process and hearing. Attorney Dimmer w...on our case, and thankfully from his representation, the restraining order was granted and we will thankfully have some peace of mind for the next couple years. Another thing I want to point out is he was very honest and matter of fact. He didn’t make promises he couldn’t keep or say what we wanted to hear, we went into the court hearing fully understanding all the possible ways things could turn out. We can honestly say that even if things wouldn’t have gone in our favor, we feel that we couldn’t have been represented any better than Attorney Dimmer did.

Great Lawyer

I hired Brian after I was facing a few felonies and looking at possible jail time. Brian's no bs attitude was perfect. In a time when I needed straight forward answers and realistic expections Brian did just that. In the end he got me all misdemeanors with 18 months probation. Brian is a great Lawyer... and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anybody.

Stellar Representation

I sought representation of the Mark Richards firm for a fraud traffic matter made where three citations were issued against me with the City of Sturtevant, WI. It was an investment in my reputation and integrity. I hired this firm based on my research of their stellar reputation. Brian Dimmer, of th...e firm, was my attorney of record. He was professional, asked the right questions and was diligent with me in making sure we gathered the right materials and evidence to clear my name and he did just that. Brian sought out the City Attorney to provide him with the evidence, as well as the degraded and sloppy police work in the case. The citations against me were dismissed in the first month of my reputation. Brian was stellar, delivered on his promise and this firm is a must hire. Five Stars, without a doubt. MB

Friendly, Knowledgeable and Easy to Work with

Attorney Brian Dimmer was extremely helpful. For a low flat-fee he got a speeding ticket reduced to a non-moving violation with zero points and a reduced fine. Their office staff is friendly and organized, and it was a pleasure working with them.
