What an incredible lawyer! When a great friend of mine was the victim of an attempted trial-by-public-opinion, Mr. Dickey refused to play along and stayed professional and courteous! Regardless of his (amazing) service, he's an incredibly likeable and charismatic man, with a great sense of humor to boot. Seems like he would be a wonderful friend over anything else. Absolutely worth the money, especially if you have any fans who want to help foot the bill.

Tom will not let you down. He is always working and at some points you don't realize it until it's all done with. His courtroom experience and knowledge of law is superb. In my experience hiring Tom was the best thing I could have done. He has handled different matters for me from custody, to criminal matters and I have never been disappointed, and at times beyond elated. He is not a fluff attorney that will tell you what you want to hear then leave you hanging. In my experience, Tom will tell you what needs to be said, give solid advice, and try for the best resolution from there. Tom Dickey thank you. You have changed my life.

We utilized the services for a custody matter that had been dragging on for several years. After a few months, it has been resolved greatly to my satisfaction and I am very happy with the services we received from Joel, who works with Atty Dickey.

If there is a loophole Mr. Dickey will find it. He has a way of making the system work around his clients. Which is good because after being in town this many years his reputation might actually cause others to have preconceived ideas of his clients lack of innocence. If you have a criminal case in need of defending you cannot go wrong hiring Mr Dickey.

Hiring douglas keating was the worst mistake I have ever make in my life. I hired him to represent my boyfriend who was arrested sitting in the passage seat while someone else committed a crime. I paid him $2600 to do absolutely nothing. Keating failed to file transport orders and failed to communicate with us through the entire process. Keating never returned phone calls and when I went to the office he looked at me like I was a stranger. I finally fired him and found another
