My family recently went through a difficult situation when my brother was charged with a federal and state criminal felonies. He is a successful business man so to say this was a shock for our family is an understatement. When my brother was arrested, it was up to me and my mother to locate and hire the best lawyer we could find and we had never hired a criminal defense attorney in Michigan before so we tried to get as much information from as many sources as possible. Ultimately, we narrowed down our search to three well known, experienced attorneys, two in Oakland County and one in Wayne. We wanted the best! We met with all three lawyers and decided to hire Lewis & Dickstein. There were several reasons we made this choice but the most important were there lawyer's high regard for the firm, record of their prior successes and that all of the lawyers there work as a team on each case. Like they said, hire one and you get them all. My brother was out of jail within days and on bond. The case was very difficult but the lawyers did an amazing job. They filed motions which helped push the DA and the prosecutor to offer my brother a dismissal of the state charges and a very good resolution to the federal case. We were all so happy with the outcome that we all would highly recommend this firm. My brother has his life back now and it's all thanks to Loren, Randy and the team at their firm. Thank you guys, we are very happy to give you our strongest possible recommendation! Quick follow up (a few months later)...the state police weren't done with my brother. They continued to harass him and refused to return his property. Thankfully our lawyer continued to help us and was not intimidated. He even went to the state police post to fight for the property back. He really is fearless! We are all set now but it took longer than expected to get everything resolved. read more

This is from a client of Lewis & Dickstein, PLLC: I wanted to take a moment to publicly thank Mr. Dickstein. When I met Mr. Dickstein, I was charged with a crime and I feared my future was in jeopardy. I met with several lawyers and heard promise after promise but no one really struck me as being forthright. When I met with Loren Dickstein and his team, I felt a strong sense of confidence and security. I had never been charged with a crime in the past and really had no idea what to expect or how things would turn out. Loren told me that he would do everything possible to help me and I believe he did. I worked with two other lawyers in his office, Colleen and Randy, as well and each of them took time to help me. One of the reasons I hired Loren's firm was that I would get multiple lawyers working on my case rather than just one attorney. His office is very impressive and instills a sense of self-assurance and security. The reason I am taking the time to write this review is not just as an acknowledgment that my case turned out really well, but to also let other people know that Loren Dickstein is for real. He is not just words and promises. He worked very hard on my case, he was never intimidated by the prosecutor (if anything, the opposite was true) and he did not give up until we had the best outcome I believe was possible. I remember him saying to me the first time I met him, "I will not let you down." He definitely did not let me down. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney in Michigan. read more

Prior to this whole experience, I really did not know much about lawyers or especially criminal defense attorneys. We have lawyers in our family but we don't talk much about their business or cases and they do not handle criminal clients. My brother-in-law was indicted in Detroit and we needed to find the best lawyers possible to help him. My sister has 3 kids and is a professional and this was turning her life upside down. We search on the internet, looked at reviews, interviewed lawyers and asked for recommendations. In the end, we hired Lewis & Dickstein after considering all of our options very carefully. They got to work protecting my family member and spend countless hours working on his case and communicating with our family. The staff was outstanding and the assistant Katie was amazing to work with. Despite overwhelming evidence and a US Attorney that was very aggressive and hard to negotiate with, they achieved a very, very good outcome. Even when the case was over, we continued to have some questions and needed some reassurance and Loren continued to take calls and assure us that they would be there for us any time in the future and would always take great care of our family anytime. These guys were not only consummate professional defense lawyers but they were also real humans who were sympathetic and understanding of how difficult this ordeal was for us. Our entire family is super impressed and will forever remain indebted. read more

I recently went thru a DV case. I hired a lawyer who charged me $2,000 upfront for retaining him. I felt miserable after hiring him. The nightmare of possible sentencing was very disturbing. The lawyer was very slacky, he would not return my calls promptly and would never respond to emails and texts. He never had a clear plan of action and gave me all possible outcomes that could happen. He also created a fear about the judge being very strict. I come from an educated family, have a clean background and never had anything like this before. I started getting worried about my future and about my job. I lost my sleep and appetite. Then i saw reviews about Mr. Loren Dickstein and Mr. Randy. Reviews were very strong. I thought of giving it a try even though i was in deep financial burden and the firm Loren & Dickstein is quite expensive to retain. When i did the cost benefit analysis i decided that benefits of retaining Mr. Loren outweighs the possible risk of my future and the mental harassment I was going through. I met him in his office and i felt nice after talking to him. His thoughts, actions, promptness and aggressiveness matched my expectation. He had a clear plan of action. He has good relationship with the people in his industry and he gets the job done. My case was dismissed. He is an Excellent lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a best defense and the best outcome. -- SL-- read more

I found this firm on Yelp and hired them to represent me in a felony case. I've hired several lawyers in the past and got false promises and lies. The allegation against me was made by my employer. I had been working for the same company for almost 15 years and my career and reputation in my industry was on the line. I had a conflict with my new boss which led to a very exaggerated allegation and police investigation. I met with Loren Dickstein and he was confident but didn't make any promises. I'm used to lawyers and know how to tell the difference. He quickly got a handle on my situation and developed a strategy to use in my defense. Randy and George helped with my file and I got a great resolution to my case. The case was in Oakland County and the prosecutors tried everything they could to win. My lawyers stayed one step ahead the whole way. They returned my calls and emails and explained things in ways I could understand. They also made sure I got a copy of everything in my file which no lawyer has done for me before. On the last court date, the judge called Loren up to the bench and told him what a great job he had done on my case. I guess the legal issue he raised was not common and the judge appreciate the argument that was made for me. Great attorneys! I highly recommend them. New update - got a traffic ticket and Loren got it dismissed. They continue to provide the best service available. read more

Loren made me feel extremely comfortable in a situation that is one of the most serious of my life. The comfort didn't come from coddling, or selling false hope, and it definitely didn't come from empty promises. He is very proactive, very dependable and really upfront. He has a seriousness and class about him, which communicates comfortably in court. The judge will give you your 15 seconds, but might give your defense team, 3 minutes. When I say, that Loren made the MOST out of those 3 minutes?!.. Wow!. We had three appearances, and he was early for every one. Eloquent, professional, organized and prompt. He made a very difficult situation, more livable. My case was a difficult and impactful one. Loren fought for and won, the most favorable outcome we could have hoped for. I would recommend him to anyone trying to save their job, or life, or livelihood. read more

I lost my driver's license in 1998 because of 2 DUI convictions within 10 years. I moved to California and drove on a license here for many years after my Michigan license was revoked. Recently the CA DMV sent me a letter saying that because my Michigan DL was revoked, I lost my CA license. I don't drive much here anyways but I did not want to be unable to drive. I hired this company to get my license restored and they were real professionals. They helped me get everything I needed and much more. I was told by Mr. Dickstein that they leave no stone unturned and he was true to his word. I was told by many people, including lawyers that because I haven't been in AA for years, I couldn't win. This was obviously not true because I did win and I have my license restored now. Great outcome and I didn't even have to come to Michigan to get this done. read more

I hired Loren Dickstein for a criminal case for my husband, first off, being in such a position is as frightening as it gets but not as frightening as it would be without the right Lawyer. Loren Dickstein is amazing and as skilled as they come and always respectful with his client, you will not find a Lawyer that knows more about criminal law and will fight harder for you in the Courtroom, he is fearless and knows how to win!! This is not the time you want to pinch pennies, this is one time I can truly say, you get what you pay for and Loren is worth every penny! read more

These reviews are spot on! I was charged with a felony in Macomb County and had never been in trouble before and never had the need to work with an attorney aside from drafting estate documents. I relied on online reviews and ratings and talked with some of the best, most highly rated criminal defense lawyers in Michigan and I was most impressed with Loren Dickstein. He did a great job on my case and kicked butt in court and with the DA. I highly recommend him and found him to be everything people say about in his amazing reviews. read more

I've been in recovery for 3 years and I live a 100% sober life with my sober fiancé. I don't drink. A lawyer who claimed to "never lose" lost my appeal last year. I was recommended to Loren and he knew what to do and exactly how to do it right from the moment I walked into his office. I followed his instructions to the letter and he trained me on how to testify. We won right at the hearing and I'm legal now. I have to drive for my business and this opens my life to so many more possibilities. Loren is the consummate trial lawyer. read more

I hired this firm to represent me on a DUI case in 2017. To say they fought for me is an understatement. We didn't win every battle but they did everything they could to help me and save my career because a conviction and loss of my license would have made 8 years of college go right down the drain. The case worked out and a fair resolution was reached. Randy was instrumental in convincing the prosecutor to agree to a final charge that saved the day. This is a great firm and no lawyer or group of lawyers could be any better. read more

I hired Lewis & Dickstein to represent me on an OWI 2nd charge in Macomb County. They were professional, thorough and hard working. They found a constitutional violation in the traffic stop and filed a motion that pushed the prosecutor into making a deal to a nonalcohol misdemeanor. I believe without the help of L&D, I never would have done so well. I have a professional license in a medical field and did not want to have a conviction that could hurt my employment. I'm very happy with the outcome and recommend this firm. read more

Hired this firm for a felony case. They did a great job and helped me through a difficult process. The staff was excellent, especially Katie who is Loren's assistant. Loren Dickstein worked my case like a conductor and got me just about everything I could have hoped for under terrible circumstances. I would not hesitate for a second to hire this firm if I ever had a problem in the future. I'm including a picture of the wall in Loren's office (with his permission) because it speaks to what kind of lawyer he is. read more

I was facing a life sentence case for something I never did. when I hired Loren i knew i was in good hands. Not only did i have a lawyer but i had a law firm. He dedicated all his time and put forth so much effort into my case. From the day we sat down for the consultation i never doubted Loren. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer, for whatever needs. Amazing, very professional, and trustworthy! read more

L&D represented me on a DUI in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. They did a great job. Most other people went to jail but they kept me out. Anyone who has been in the 48th District Court, knows how rare walking out of the building is when you have a drunk driving case. I was referred to them by a friend who used these attorneys in the past. Thank you for doing such a good job and being on my side. read more
