Case Dismissed!
I hate giving reviews but I felt I had to give one on Mr. Huish. I had a bad case - lets just say real bad. It took about four months of fighting but he did it. Case Dismissed. I thought I would go to jail for sure. But what I liked most is he never gave up on me. He helped me get through this...

Well Connected.
I am not sure how he did it. Three of my friends had the exact same problem as I did. They all went to jail and I did not. We all got arrested together for the same thing and they had different lawyers. The Public Defender had one and plead out my friend on the first day. The other two hired peo...

Great Lawyer - Real Gentleman
Not sure how to write this. I got arrested for a DUI. Never been in trouble before. I found this lawyer on the Internet and he talked to me for a long time on the phone. Other lawyer talked money - he talked about me and my problems. I immediately felt better. His assistant Kim was awesome and ...

Thanks Dyke Huish. You're the Best!
I'm not good at writing things but I did want to write a shout out to my lawyer. My dad found Dyke through a big law firm who gave the recommendation to Dyke for a criminal case. He was easy to work with and not as expensive as others. When I called him he talked straight and helped me to underst...
Dyke Earl Huish's Lawyer Endorsements
"Dyke Huish taught me what it means to be a defense attorney. He taught me to believe in my client and that against all odds if you can tell a client’s story, you can be successful. Dyke has the most charisma of any trial attorney I have ever had the pleasure of watching. His ability to tell a story and have a jury listen is unique. By the time he is done, the client is no longer a defendant but a person whose liberty is at stake. Juries trust him because his sincerity is palpable. Not only will he defend his clients vigorously but he will do everything in his power to help improve their lives and prevent reentry into the criminal justice system. I have referred several people to Dyke and each one has been extremely satisfied with the care they received. This is the first and last person who I would call if I ever needed representation."
"Mr. Huish is a seasoned trial attorney who has consistently achieved outstanding results. When preparing for trial, he leaves no stone unturned. You will be in great hands with Mr. Huish representing you."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Dyke is one of the most accomplished and best criminal defense attorneys in California. He is highly respected for his preparation and integrity, and the results he achieves."
"Dyke Huish is one of the most widely respected attorneys in Orange County for his dedication, compassion, work ethic, and, most of all, the results he gets. He is an outstanding trial attorney, and I have had the good fortune of watching him give closing arguments in a homicide case, and a real estate fraud case. In both, he performed masterfully and the jurys' acquitted his clients! Mr. Huish is the consummate professional. He gives 100% to his client. I endorse him enthusiastically."
"I endorse Dyke. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dyke is the consummate professional in his field and is determined to obtain the best results for his clients."
"I have been fortunate to have observed and learned from Dyke Huish on a daily basis. His expertise, passion, and commitment to his clients is second to none."
"Dyke Huish is one of the most talented and dedicated attorneys I know. I can personally attest to his incredible knowledge of the law and his dedication to his clients. He works tirelessly on their behalf and he listens more than he talks. However more importantly, Dyke completely believes in his clients and acts fearlessly on their behalf. He is passionate about his craft and confident in his skills. There is no higher compliment which I can pay a fellow attorney than to say if I were in need of a criminal lawyer, Dyke would be the first person I would call. He is that good."
"I can offer no higher endorsement than this: I carry Mr. Huish's card in my wallet at all times."
"I have known Dyke Huish for many years both professionally and personally. I have been impressed with his talents as a lawyer, especially in representing those accused of wrongdoing. He is a true champion of the underdog and I regularly refer those who have been arrested or accused with the confidence that they will get the best representation possible."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Dyke on various complex criminal matters, and know that he is a premiere lawyer, among the best. I have unequivocally referred matters to him, and would not hesitate in the future."
