WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY …
Just a note of appreciation for the many years of first-rate legal services you have provided to me, my company, my family, and my colleagues, in resolving disputes with and without litigation. Your eagerness to help, top-notch legal skills, creative problem-solving ability, and concern for reducing the financial and emotional costs of legal disputes have always assured me that you are the right lawyer to resolve most disputes—and that you will refer a matter to another to another lawyer when appropriate. Since so many of my clients are in the film and TV business, not only is your professionalism a blessing, but so is your ability to deal with unique and, shall we say, “interesting,” people. That’s why I have confidently referred any number of people to you. Thank you for your dedication and the security you provide.
M. Jason, President/CEO
I have found, to my lasting regret, that the jokes about attorneys are mostly correct. Knowing you for many years and having retained you in several lawsuits, I would not hire any other lawyer. You stand out as one of the few who are fair and honest, as well as highly competent. I have always appreciated that you communicate clearly and patiently, advise thoroughly, seek my input, and obtain excellent results. I am also grateful for your sensitivity to reducing fees and costs. Not least, I value your accessibility. Unlike many attorneys, you actually take my phone calls: None of this “He’s out of the office; I don’t know when he’ll be back” routine. No lawyer can guarantee a result, but when I retain you, I know I am engaging a skilled advocate who cares about obtaining the best result at the lowest possible cost.

Bill did a fantastic job and delivered more than what was expected for a VERY good rate.
J. Toms, CEO
I have many friends and business acquaintances who are attorneys, but I always tell people who need legal representation to call Bill Dickerman first. The reason is simple. For the several legal matters you’ve handled for me over the years, I’ve always been impressed by your ability to apply your legal expertise in a practical, efficient manner, bringing issues to a speedy conclusion with a minimal of hassle and expense. Like my relationship with my dentist, I hope I never see you again, except for a non-working lunch.
B. Usen, President/CEO
Thank you, Bill, for everything. I know how hard you’ve worked on my behalf (and how much sleep you’ve lost) and truly appreciate your thoughtfulness both as an attorney and as a human being. Your code of ethics and moral standing is impressive and inspiring and has helped restore some of my faith in the legal system.
M. Marino, Film Producer
You are exceptional in your approach!
P. Ioannou, Vice President/Investments
Bill, you were so helpful to us in so many ways, and we appreciated your honest and personable input. I guess you could consider yourself a therapist in this bizarre situation!
L. Patterson
I appreciate what you did and I will be referring you as an outstanding attorney. You do what you say and I appreciate that.
D. Traurig
For three years I suffered almost daily torments and abusive sexual and emotional taunts from my building’s resident manager. When the situation escalated to a serious threat of physical violence, terrified and alone I turned to Bill Dickerman for help. Though I was unable to pay his normal rate, he did not turn me away as so many others had. Instead, we quickly went to court to obtain a restraining order.
Mr. Dickerman aggressively challenged the defendant in an exhaustive six-hour hearing in which the defendant’s attorney called multiple witnesses to defame me. Mr. Dickerman’s solid presentation of the facts, withering cross-examination, and compelling arguments resulted in the judge’s grant of not only the requested restraining order, but also a substantial increase in the protections available to me under the law and beyond those usually granted.
I am deeply grateful to Mr. Dickerman for fighting for me when no one else would, for enabling me to remain in the home I had lived in for over 20 years, and for, quite possibly, saving my life.
F. E., Communications Consultant
Bill, you are one of the few good guys left. May you and your family be blessed with good health and prosperity.
J. Howard, President/CEO
I have known William Dickerman for many years, first as my attorney, then as my friend and client. He is an extraordinarily competent attorney with a strong common-sense approach to business.
I co-owned and operated a successful chain of sporting goods stores. My partner and I didn’t agree on how the business was to be run; the viability of the business was in jeopardy. Luckily, I hired Bill as my litigation attorney. My partner counter-sued, but Bill’s bull-dog tenacity and superior litigation skills scared the other side into submission. Bill’s negotiating prowess resulted in my being fairly compensated for my half of the business, and enabled my ex-partner to continue to operate the business thereafter.
Since that first positive experience, I have frequently sought Bill’s legal advice on other business matters, and he has always been generous with his time and support. I have learned a lot from Bill over the years, and he has been an instrumental part of my business success.
