Excellent trial lawyer. Gets great results! Honest and has integrity! He’s a winner!

Being busy is a good thing, and this is a common theme in this area since attorneys can represent two states and multiple practices. When I review, I always review based upon my overall experiences with professionals in the same industry. The very best was an attorney who was an angel and just wanted to help me resolve an issue, and never asked for money. Sadly, the brief consults I had with Dione, left me wanting more attention to if there was an opportunity to help me. We talked approximately 5 or 10 minutes. He wanted to speak to my witnesses, and I was open to it, but only after we agreed that he was the right attorney to represent me. When he called, he was rushed and got to the point. He didn’t have time to discuss my case. When I was reluctant to give witnesses, because we didn’t have a full conversation, and also no type of agreement; he wanted to refer me to others. Somehow the communication channels opened again, and he was open to consulting with me for a certain cost; then that amount increased when I explained the topics I wanted to cover. According to his website, he seems to have the experience and background that I wanted. However, we just never got to really talk, because he is busy. The process he took with me: 1. He emailed me an intake form, 2. I believe I did a follow-up call with him, and he was busy. He called me back to ask a few questions from the form. I think he will be good at interrogation, because I felt interrogated a little bit. 3. I think the dealbreaker happened when I wasn’t okay with giving a witness list. 4. I reached out to him with a comment about us not having a hero to help us when we need it, unlike the majority. 5. We opened up the communication channels again, so that shows that he does have some type of heart. My recommendation to you, if you are looking for help: 1. Decide what is important to you in an attorney. What you will or won’t accept. 2. Understand that attorneys in this area seem to be very busy. 3. Have a good game plan for what you will do if you don’t find someone. 4. If you are indigent and need legal help, and your case is at a certain limit (I believe $4,000 or so), possibly check with the free legal service in your area. 5. If you go at this alone, make sure you do a lot of research of what this entails. I can tell you that suing in small claims court is a lot different than suing in state or federal courts. There are so many strategies (also known as defenses) that your defendant or their attorney can use. So it’s less about the truth, facts, witnesses, etc. , it’s more about strategy (in my opinion). Since Dione was a litigator, I think he will be good with strategy. So if he has time to help you, it may be worth giving him a shot. It’s up to you. I personally want someone to be as passionate about my case, as I am, and of course, have the time to consult with me. Dione knows his limits, and he is very straightforward. He will tell you. This rating is based upon my experience, and the experience I have had with other attorneys. I can imagine this rating going much higher, if Dione had the time to consult. The plus, is that you get to talk to him, versus someone else who is handling the intake.

Dione was very thorough in explaining my legal options to me. He took the time to make sure I understood everything. He helped me every step of the way and I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel with regard to wrongful termination and retaliation within the workplace.
