Takes money and dissapeares

Incapable and unethical

Soon after I paid him he stopped responding to me. I lost two short sales and the reason the potential buyer’s attorney gave, in writing, was the lack of any response by this lawyer. Blamed his secretary, then said his dad was very sick, then refused to take my calls. I checked “hired” in this review... because I paid him $3,000. He did not file or do anything. He refused to return any money after I had to find another attorney. Do yourself a huge favor and avoid any contact with this man. Find ANY other lawyer and you will be better off.

Find someone else

If I could leave less than one star I would! It's really sickening to see that some peoples' cases were basically dismissed because this "attorney" failed miserably at the job he was paid to do. Our case went through to discharge but then we came to find out he made some major mistakes in his filing!... We are in the midst of a personal injury case that he failed to document. We could lose out on $15, 000 as a result of this "attorney's" lack of knowledge in his position. He flat out ignores any attempt to reach him and has since about four months after our case was in court. I cannot even get him to remove himself from our case in order to go back to court reopen our case and FIX IT. Please do yourself a favor and keep looking...

Poor ethics

I filed for bankruptcy and felt confident in this lawyer then. However when the time came for the case to be closed it was dismissed without closure because he didn't file all the paperwork. I called for months repeatedly with no return calls. When he finally did answer I was told he would get it reo...pened. Long story short my wages are being garnished because he didn't follow through. Stir clear.

Bankruptcy Attorney

Mr. Dizon was extremely patient, informative and professional during this very difficult process. He helped put both my wife and I at ease and assured us that the process would be as painless as possible. He was very efficient with our time and his and only required us to visit him a couple of time...s to complete the process.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer | Aug 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Gil has a great command of the law and a natural ability to relate to clients of all backgrounds. His real skill though is when he gets in the courtroom. I worked with him for 8 years. I saw him craft arguments and win motions that his peers were not able to do. His skill and courtroom demeanor allows him to get the best result for his clients."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I first met Gil Dizon as a young lawyer eager to enter the practice and excel at areas he wished to concentrate in. As my personal practice has always been Consumer Bankruptcy (both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13) Gil dived into the practice to learn as much as he could and to put his knowledge and skill into practice. When he was one of the lawyers in my firm he always devoted himself to the best interest of our clients and he always pushed to the limits what we could do for our clients. In summary the clients he worked with received the highest quality legal service possible. He has always had a tremendous record of success."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Gil for the better part of 20 years. He came to work for my law office when he was just starting his legal career. He was eager to learn and a quick study. He vigorously represented our clients, and he continues to do so with his clientele to this day. When representation of a prospective client who is located in Gil's area would prove to be logistically problematic, I do not hesitate to refer the party to Gil."

"I have known Gil for approximately 20 years; meeting him in law school. While in school Gil excelled as a student due to his preparation, organizational skills and dedication to entering his desired profession. The traits Gil displayed in law school carried over to his practice of law, making him a successful and powerful advocate for his clients. In addition to starting his own law firm, Gil started a family of who he is very proud. Gil's commitment to his family, clients and his belief that all deserve not just adequate but competent representation has made him a powerful and successful advocate for his clients. I recommend Gil Dizon without reservation. Sincerely, Christina Novajosky, O'Malley & Langan, P.C., Scranton, PA"

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Gil Dizon for more than 10 years. Gil used to be my opposing counsel in bankruptcy matters in the Chicago area. I always found Gil to be a very well prepared, conscientious, and very professional attorney. He was always tough, but fair, and achieved practical results in an efficient and cost effective manner for his clients. I would trust Gil with clients of my own."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I highly recommend and endorse Gil. I have had more occasions that I can count over the last 17 years with Gil as the opposing counsel on bankruptcy matters. And each and every time Gil was the consummate gentleman lawyer while still advocating on his clients best behalf. He had definitely given me a run for my money in court and as a result, has made even me a better attorney. If you are in need of a bankruptcy attorney, I can recommend no one more."
