Our mission is to help clients move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind, knowing that their rights and futures are protected.

With years of experience and an unwavering commitment to justice, attorney James R.

Compassionate Representation for Personal Injury Clients

When you are injured because of someone else’s negligence, the physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming. Medical bills pile up, work becomes impossible, and uncertainty clouds your future. The Law Offices of James R. Dickinson is here to help you navigate that uncertainty. Our firm stands as a voice for the injured—fighting tirelessly for justice, fair compensation, and accountability.

Our personal injury practice covers a wide range of cases throughout Redlands, Riverside, and the greater Inland Empire, including:

Automobile Accidents

Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents can happen in an instant, but their impact can last a lifetime. We represent victims of automobile accidents caused by reckless drivers, distracted driving, speeding, or DUI. From rear-end collisions to catastrophic freeway accidents, our firm investigates every detail—police reports, witness statements, medical evaluations, and expert testimony—to build a powerful case for full compensation. We pursue damages for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future rehabilitation. Whether negotiating with insurance companies or litigating in court, we fight to ensure our clients are treated fairly and recover the compensation they deserve.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

A dog bite injury can be physically and emotionally traumatic, leaving permanent scars and psychological distress. Under California’s strict liability law, dog owners are responsible for the harm caused by their pets. The Law Offices of James R. Dickinson holds negligent owners accountable and helps victims obtain justice. We ensure that clients receive compensation for medical treatment, reconstructive care, and emotional trauma associated with animal attacks.

Premises Liability

Property owners, both private and commercial, have a duty to maintain safe environments for visitors. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can result—from slip and fall accidents in grocery stores to injuries caused by unsafe property conditions or negligent security. Our firm handles premises liability claims involving defective stairs, wet floors, poor lighting, and other hazards. We work relentlessly to establish liability, document the negligence, and recover compensation for your injuries and suffering.

Wrongful Death

There are few experiences more devastating than losing a loved one due to another’s careless or intentional actions. In these tragic cases, our firm stands beside grieving families to pursue justice through wrongful death claims. We help recover damages for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, emotional anguish, and the financial support the victim would have provided. While no amount of money can replace what you’ve lost, we help bring accountability and closure, allowing families to focus on healing while we handle the legal burden.

Intentional Torts and Civil Assault

When someone deliberately causes harm—through assault, battery, or other intentional acts—you have the right to pursue civil action. Our firm represents victims of intentional torts, holding perpetrators financially accountable for their actions. We approach each case with discretion and resolve, ensuring your voice is heard and justice is achieved through every available legal avenue.

At the Law Offices of James R. Dickinson, we believe that personal injury victims deserve dignity and respect throughout the legal process. We understand the tactics insurance companies use to minimize claims, and we counter them with skill, strategy, and unwavering advocacy. Whether through negotiated settlements or trial representation, our goal is always to secure the best results for our clients—because your recovery and your future matter.

Strong and Compassionate Advocacy in Family Law Matters

Few areas of law are as emotionally charged as family law. Divorce, custody disputes, and domestic violence situations affect not only legal rights but also the emotional and financial well-being of families. At the Law Offices of James R. Dickinson, we approach family law with compassion, respect, and steadfast advocacy. We know these moments can define your future—and we’re here to help you protect what matters most.

Our firm offers skilled representation in all aspects of family law, including:

Divorce and Legal Separation

Divorce can be one of the most stressful and life-altering experiences a person faces. Whether your case involves complex property division, child custody disputes, or high-asset financial matters, we are here to guide you through every step. Our team helps clients in both contested and uncontested divorces, ensuring that all issues—property, debts, spousal support, and custody—are addressed fairly and thoroughly. For those who prefer a less permanent solution, we also assist with legal separation, helping clients maintain certain marital rights while living independently.

Paternity and Parentage

Establishing legal paternity is essential for protecting the rights of both parents and children. Whether you are a father seeking custody or visitation rights, or a mother seeking child support, our firm helps navigate California’s parentage laws with sensitivity and professionalism. We assist with voluntary declarations, genetic testing, and court orders, ensuring that your child’s best interests and your parental rights are fully protected.

Child Custody and Visitation

Child custody and visitation are often the most emotionally charged aspects of family law. Our firm prioritizes the best interests of the child while advocating for our clients’ parental rights. We work to establish fair and balanced custody arrangements that promote stability and a positive environment for children. Whether through mediation or litigation, our approach is always guided by compassion, reason, and the child’s well-being.

Child Support

Every child deserves financial stability and care. We assist parents with establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders in compliance with California’s guidelines. We handle cases involving wage garnishments, support arrears, and changes in financial circumstances, ensuring that children receive the support they need and parents are treated fairly.

Spousal Support [Alimony]

When one spouse has been financially dependent on the other, spousal support—commonly known as alimony—can provide essential stability after a divorce. Our firm helps clients negotiate or litigate fair spousal support arrangements that take into account income, standard of living, and duration of marriage. Whether you are seeking support or required to pay it, we work to ensure that any agreement is just and sustainable.

Domestic Violence Restraining Orders

If you are in immediate danger or have experienced abuse, the Law Offices of James R. Dickinson can help you obtain a domestic violence restraining order to ensure your safety and that of your loved ones. We move swiftly and decisively to protect victims of physical, emotional, or financial abuse. Likewise, we also represent individuals falsely accused of domestic violence, ensuring that their rights are upheld and their reputations protected through careful and strategic legal defense.
