Dickerman & Associates

I contacted William Dickerman when my husband was faced with a small claims appeal. I had been given his name by a UCLA legal insurance that we have. I also read these Unilocal reviews. All I can tell you is that the reviews are all correct. Although we ended up with another attorney due to conflicting dates Bills advice was extremely valuable and he took interest in the case and followed it through with us.
He was a wonderful, competent and thoughtful attorney. I would have no problems referring my friends and patients to him.
Although I would rather not have had the circumstances that we met under, I am happy that I have him on my team if I should need him in the future.

I contacted William (Bill) Dickerman when I was faced with an issue of identity theft. I will spare the details of the case but what I will say is that I was in a state of despair and the case was advanced and convoluted when I first contacted Bill. In my first conversation with Bill, he knowledgeably and thoughtfully answered all my questions and he clearly explained everything that the case might entail. I felt a sense of comfort after that conversation knowing I was in good hands.
Throughout the case, Bill was readily available and responded immediately to my emails and phone calls (that was the best mode of contact for me since I live 300+ miles away from Los Angeles). I am extremely grateful for Bill’s concern for reducing my emotional and financial costs throughout the case. I am also very thankful for his quick response and resolute advocacy. Knowing I had Bill in my corner made the ordeal a lot more bearable.
** I would confidently and highly recommend Bill Dickerman to my friends and family.**

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.

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 he has handled for me over the years, I’ve always been impressed by his ability to apply his 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 him again, except for a non-​working lunch.

For three years I suffered almost daily torments and abusive sexual and emotional taunts from my apartment building’s resident manager. When the situation escalated to a serious threat of physical violence, 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, 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.
