This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent lawyer and a truly great and compassionate man

Hired Attorney Dawson after going thru a few other "highly recommended " attorneys who took my money but did nothing for me. He took care of a VERY difficult and complex white collar issue , which could have ruined my life . He is the most compassionate and professional lawyer I have ever met . He se...ttled my cases with the exact outcome I wanted . He is 100% honest as well. Even when it's not the answer you wanted . If you need a good , fair , professional and ethical lawyer who will fight for what's right as well as see you as a human being ,then Attorney Dawson is the only lawyer you will ever need .
