The record shows a steady progression from student to practicing attorney, and then to firm owner. He has remained connected to the legal community through long-term practice.
He founded Dilley and Associates, LLC in 1982 and has helmed the firm since its creation. Building a practice from scratch required managing both legal work and the business side of a law office.

He handles casework, counsels clients on legal options, and attends hearings when required. He has balanced courtroom appearances with office consultations throughout his career.
His long tenure in private practice has given him perspective on how legal needs change over time. He has adapted to shifts in procedure and practice management, ensuring the firm remained operational through several decades. Managing a small firm has demanded an understanding of both client service and the practicalities of running a business. Those responsibilities sit alongside his role as attorney and counselor.
As of 2026 he continues to practice at Dilley and Associates, LLC, overseeing the firm and representing clients. He remains active in managing the firm’s matters and providing legal representation to those who seek his services. He currently focuses his practice on the matters handled by Dilley and Associates, LLC.
