Lyle is a dedicated, competent, and client-focused attorney

Lyle Dickson did a fantastic job of helping me and my family out during some very difficult times. He is a dedicated, competent, and aggressive attorney who always has the best interest of his clients first and foremost in mind. Upon reviewing his credentials prior to hiring him, I quickly observed t...hat his life has been committed to serving the community and the nation, as demonstrated by his service in the military, his years as an award-winning police officer, his service as an attorney (including the number of volunteer hours he’s served over his career), and the personal time and money he spent traveling to New Orleans to assist the victims of Hurricane Katrina, among other things. Mr. Dickson has a strong, positive moral compass and believes in doing things right. Prior to selecting him as my attorney, I had a lawyer tell me that Lyle "sometimes advocates too hard for his clients." Are you kidding me? Once I heard that, I hired him immediately. Once I did, I found those rumors to be absolutely true. He fought for me as if I was a member of his family, and we came out victorious as a result. If you are looking for a strong, intelligent, articulate attorney with a proven track record of courtroom victories, Lyle Dickson is your man. If any of my family members friends need an attorney in the future, I will recommend Lyle without hesitation or reservation. I give him my highest recommendation.

Lyle’s comment:

“Lyle was a Military Police Sergeant when asked to become an Officer with the Judge Advocate Corp. After commissioning, Major/Attorney John WOJCIK, General Counsel of MIARNG, made patently false statements about Lyle to the General and Congressman Mike Rogers. Lyle filed complaints with the Army and filed suit, AS DIRECTED by the Army. For this, the AGC decided to discipline Lyle, and let WOJCIK get away with his, now acknowledged, lies. APPEAL PENDING WITH SUPREME COURT. Not client related.”

Reprimand issued in MI, 2012

updated on 10/10/2012

Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Lyle’s comment:

“Lyle was negotiating a case for a victim prior to suit. Lyle was reprimanded when he re-contacted the identity thief who stole his clients identity. The thief said she was represented by an attorney, but the attorney's info could not be located, and Lyle sought clarification. It turned out the attorney was newly licensed & did not appear in the Bar Journal, nor in any court records. This alone has impacted Lyle's rating, but not his outstanding quality of work for his client.”
