I contacted James and gave him the facts of my case. He listened intently and told me to relax and he would work to get me the best result possible. Within just over two weeks he had my case dismissed. Great results and very reasonable fees. I definitely recommend him.

After having a late night traffic incident at a concert, I called Mr. Dicks for some much needed advice. Mr. Dicks gave me a sound consultation to quickly address my concerns and provide a path forward in a challenging situation. His straightforward approach and practical advice eased my concerns and allowed me to move forward with confidence. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Dicks and his firm.

There’s a reason why James has so many positive reviews for his law office, my case was 100% handled by him and the professionalism and courtesy and genuine care and concern he showed the day of my court date made me feel a lot better about the process. My case was cleared and I owe it to James I could tell he is respected in this community by all the people involved in my matter and it helped me out in the end. Thank you!

Mr. Dicks is an amazing lawyer! When I was 18 and committed my first felony and I hired him. He of corse did an outstanding job and we walked away with the best deal possible. Unfortunately I went through a rough drug use period and when I ran into my last felony at the age of 24 and a federal charge at that I knew exactly who to go to for help, Jimmy! He is a man who knows the law and all the angles to get the result he knows is possible. I never once doubted his ability to take care or my case and still the result blew me out of the water. Im living a incredible life now and I owe so much gratitude for him seeing the good in me and providing the second chance I needed. I highly recommend him, hiring him was one of the best discussions I ever made!

Mr. Dicks and his team have taken care of me in many cases, providing me with the best possible outcome in every situation. I will only ever hire him/his team if dealing with any legal issues. J.D Law is the best at what they do.

I first retained jD Law after getting a DUI in 2019. I had hit several parked cars and my BAC was very high, although luckily there were no injuries. As my first offense, and considering the circumstances, I was understandably worried about the outcome of my case. I was quickly reassured and incredibly thankful I chose Mr. Dicks and his team to represent me. He and Liz are extremely knowledgeable of the criminal court system and were able to get me the best sentencing for my offenses. I received a mandatory 9 month DUI program and 9 days of the public service program. NO ALCOHOL ANKLE MONITOR, NO JAIL! I was also able to get my license back much sooner, and with less restrictions, than expected. Trust me, they are worth the money! Now, due to an unfortunate medical diagnosis, I’m unable to carry out my service days for the unforeseeable future. With the program finally opening back up, I knew I needed help if I wanted to remain in good standing with the courts. After contacting Jim regarding my situation, he decided to work pro bono and was quickly able to get that 9-day requirement stayed, or dismissed, as long as I continue to comply with the remainder of my probation. This was the best news I’ve received lately and I couldn’t be more grateful for the knowledge, care, and compassion this law team possesses. I can’t thank Jim and Liz enough!! If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. If I have legal troubles again and need to retain a criminal defense team, I know to call jD Law for the absolute best lawyers in San Diego. I will highly recommend to friends, family, anyone and everyone in need of criminal defense.

Michael Pancer (San Diego Trial Lawyer of the year 2006 by the San Diego Criminal Defense Bar) referred me to Attorney James Dicks in May 2020. He mentioned that James Dicks was one of the top Criminal Defense Attorneys at San Diego County Vista Court. My Marijuana Case was dismissed! Thank you James!
