Best lawyer !

Mr. Dicks is an amazing lawyer! When I was 18 and committed my first felony and I hired him. He of corse did an outstanding job and we walked away with the best deal possible. Unfortunately I went through a rough drug use period and when I ran into my last felony at the age of 24 and a federal charge... at that I knew exactly who to go to for help, Jimmy! He is a man who knows the law and all the angles to get the result he knows is possible. I never once doubted his ability to take care or my case and still the result blew me out of the water. Im living a incredible life now and I owe so much gratitude for him seeing the good in me and providing the second chance I needed. I highly recommend him, hiring him was one of the best discussions I ever made!

The ONLY criminal defense lawyer I will use or recommend!! Amazing team- ideal outcomes, communicative, best in town

I first retained jD Law after getting a DUI in 2019. I had hit several parked cars and my BAC was very high, although luckily there were no injuries. As my first offense, and considering the circumstances, I was understandably worried about the outcome of my case. I was quickly reassured and incredib...ly thankful I chose Mr. Dicks and his team to represent me. He and Liz are extremely knowledgeable of the criminal court system and were able to get me the best sentencing for my offenses. I received a mandatory 9 month DUI program and 9 days of the public service program. NO ALCOHOL ANKLE MONITOR, NO JAIL! I was also able to get my license back much sooner, and with less restrictions, than expected. Trust me, they are worth the money! Now, due to an unfortunate medical diagnosis, I’m unable to carry out my service days for the unforeseeable future. With the program finally opening back up, I knew I needed help if I wanted to remain in good standing with the courts. After contacting Jim regarding my situation, he decided to work pro bono and was quickly able to get that 9-day requirement stayed, or dismissed, as long as I continue to comply with the remainder of my probation. This was the best news I’ve received lately and I couldn’t be more grateful for the knowledge, care, and compassion this law team possesses. I can’t thank Jim and Liz enough!! If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. If I have legal troubles again and need to retain a criminal defense team, I know to call jD Law for the absolute best lawyers in San Diego. I will highly recommend to friends, family, anyone and everyone in need of criminal defense.

Case Dismissed

Michael Pancer (San Diego Trial Lawyer of the year 2006 by the San Diego Criminal Defense Bar) referred me to Attorney James Dicks in May 2020. He mentioned that James Dicks was one of the top Criminal Defense Attorneys at San Diego County Vista Court. My Marijuana Case was dismissed! Thank you Ja...mes!

Very profesional, his office took good care of me.

I initially contacted Mr. James when I knew i did something wrong. I gave him a call and he immediately let me know that he would take good care of me. He gave me some pointers over the phone on what to expect and what to do. I ended up hiring his firm. Every step of the way he would assure me that a...ll was being done to have my case resolved with as little headache as possible, and his firm delivered. They made negotiations and got me a plea deal that was better than what i expected. Mr. James will do the right things for you. Would recomend.

Very Professional. Solved my legal case without going to court.

James Dicks went above and beyond to get me out of legal trouble. He was recommended to me by a retired San Diego police detective. He took our case and treated me like family. His colleagues Lisbette and Joanne were total professionals and worked closely with me and my wife. He was able to get... my case dismissed without ever going to court or trial. I highly recommend his services. Thanks again Mr. Dicks thank god you were on my side. For anyone reading this you want Mr. Dicks on your side.
