Top 10 Criminal Defense Lawyer Award

According to NACDA, their organization is “devoted to recognizing the top criminal defense attorneys in the United States. With over a million attorneys practicing nationwide, choosing the best lawyer is difficult. However, through a stringent selection process, the NACDA awards the best criminal defense attorneys in each state with our most prestigious honor of being named “TOP 10”. “The very few attorneys (less than 1%) that are good enough to make our list have demonstrated an extraordinary amount of knowledge, skill, experience, expertise, and success in their practice of criminal defense.”

According to the Academy, they use varied criteria for determining what lawyers will be awarded this prestigious honor. The requirements listed include the following:

Client reviews
Peer reviews
Total length of time practicing criminal law
Case outcomes
Trial experience and outcomes
Published books or scholarly articles
Education
Formal criminal defense training
Criminal defense teaching experience
Legal awards

Why is Loren Dickstein widely recognized as among the top lawyers defending criminal cases in the United States?

He is regarded as a National Top 10 Criminal Defense Lawyer because of the genuine care he feels for his clients, the passion he has for providing the best possible defense, his fearless nature, and the fact that he provides an approach to criminal defense that is intelligent, calculated and tactically superior.

What is his theory on criminal defense?

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,’” was stated by Dick the Butcher in “Henry VI.” This is perhaps one of the most commonly misunderstood phrases of all time. In the time of Shakespeare, lawyers were almost universally regarded as the protectors of truth. Dick the Butcher was a follower of the rebel Jack Cade who wanted to be King. The idea was that if they could eliminate law and order, it would result in chaos, and Cade could take power. Shakespeare inferred that without lawyers, there could not be justice.

Not many jobs are specifically identified and guaranteed by the United States Constitution. The founding fathers felt so strongly that a defense lawyer was necessary for the administration of justice that they included that inalienable right in the Constitution. Effective defense attorneys were the only hope of protecting due process rights, the rights intended to differentiate the United States government from a dictatorship.

I see my role in the justice system as a check against government tyranny. Despite all odds, I fulfill my obligations as a defense lawyer by fighting to my last breath to defend my clients to the best of my ability. For this reason, I will do everything possible to achieve the outcome in a case that is in my client’s best interest.

I am honored to receive the National Top 10 Criminal Defense Lawyer distinction!”
