Not important at all. Great deals and great outcomes are achieved by great defense lawyers. The quality of the lawyer far surpasses the importance of the location of the lawyer's office.

I offer free consultations.

A brief summary of the problem the client is facing and how they hope a lawyer will be able to help them.

Mr. Dickstein received his Juris Doctor from Wayne State University Law School and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Western Michigan University. He has been admitted to practice law in all Michigan State courts, as well as the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. He has also been admitted to practice in various federal courts throughout the United States and in several different states, pro hac vice. Prior to becoming a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Dickstein worked as a judicial clerk and legal research clerk for multiple circuit court judges. His experience while working in the criminal courts, has given him invaluable insight into the inner workings of the criminal justice system and the ability to work with the courts to achieve the best possible outcomes for his clients.

As a trial attorney, Mr. Dickstein's practice focuses on trial work within the criminal areas of practice. Mr. Dickstein has a passion for defending both the falsely accused and those treated unfairly by the authorities or the legal justice system. He has served as lead trial attorney on numerous complex cases and is hired by other lawyers to assist in cases throughout Michigan. He has training from and courtroom experience with nationally prominent medical, psychological and scientific experts. Mr. Dickstein has obtained dismissals and 'not guilty' verdicts throughout Michigan.

He frequently participates in continuing legal education in order to keep himself updated as to the most current laws, techniques, areas of expertise and court rulings that might affect his clients. Mr. Dickstein's professional memberships have included the State Bar of Michigan, Criminal Law Section, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan.

Finding the positive aspects of my client's lives and being the voice that humanizes them in court and with the prosecutor and also uncovering and exposing police and prosecutor's misconduct and achieving acquittals in cases where the government abuses its power (which is in most cases by the way).

The only thing that I have time for is family and work. Being the best father I can be and being the best criminal defense lawyer possible.

Yes.
