Fantastic

I hired Mr. Dickerson about five years ago to represent me with several and very complex post decree legal matters. I felt well represented and extremely pleased with the outcomes. Mr. Dickerson is well respected within the industry and has consistently delivered solid advice and guidance. I would ...recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in need of an outstanding family / divorce attorney.

wonderful representation

When I needed to retain a lawyer to represent my daughter in a difficult divorce, my daughter and I chose Barry Dickerson. We made an excellent choice. Barry is an experienced lawyer and because of that we did not spend time on emotional matters that were irrelevant but instead focused on resolv...ing important custody and property division issues. Along the way, Barry gave us both practical and legal advice and we were able to process the divorce timely and at a reasonable cost. My daughter and I are grateful for the guidance that Barry gave us during a very difficult time.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
