Awesome Attorney!

I have the highest praise for JD LAW and associates! James is very kind, empathetic and genuinely cares about his clients. He has been a criminal defense attorney for more than 30 years and was a police officer and detective with LAPD for 10 years prior to that. James is very confident and knows th...e criminal justice system inside and out. He is highly respected and has excellent relationship skills with DAs, judges, and deputies alike. You will find that even though you are in a dire situation, James will reassure you and calm your fears. He explains the law very well, answers all your questions, and guides you through a very scary and difficult time. This is who you want, by your side, zealously fighting for you, every inch of the way!

Hire him!

I have hired James Dicks on multiple occasions over the years and each time he does not disappoint. He is well known as the best lawyer in the North County/San Diego area. If you want to stay out of jail or get your case dropped, hire him. He is diligent while also knowing the inner workings of the C...ourt system, as well as all of the important people. He is compassionate and caring while keeping realistic goals and always has a backup plan. He is very experienced and offers the Intel that only someone of his caliber can do. James Dicks is trustworthy and delivers results every time. Hire him!

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!

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!
