Case Dismissed!
Chris did a great job helping me with a traffic citation resulting from an accident. It was painless and he was able to get the case dismissed, which meant no points and no insurance rate increase! Well done, and thank you!

An five star lawyer that's affordable, and excellent!
Hello, WOW! Where do I begin? I had my first car accident, Mr. Dozier sent me a letter, offering to represent me. He walked me through the whole process. His communication was convenient and constant. A couple of months later my case was closed, no extra fees. I saved a great deal of money a...

representation for minor traffic offense
I retained Chris Dozier to represent me in a traffic accident. Chris was able to get the charge dismissed but it was a struggle to get him to return phone calls or emails. While he was ultimately successful, it was a frustrating experience not being able to get hold of my attorney. Given the large nu...
I regret that I was not able to communicate with this client as much as they would have preferred. I was able to get this case dismissed and hope that a dismissal of the charge would supersede any issues there may have been with communication. I try to be accessible during the weekday, however there are times when I am not available (nights and weekends) for immediate response. Again, communication and timely responses to my clients are a priority for me in my practice and I apologize if I did not communicate as easily as this client would have preferred.

Unfair ticket dismissed
After hiring Mr. Dozier regarding a ticket that I received after a minor traffic accident, my case was dismissed. A car changed lanes in front of me and immediately stopped. I almost managed to get my car stopped; however, I tapped the bumper on the other car and was given a ticket for failure to r...

Traffic Accident
My son was at fault in a rear end collision and was driving after 9:00pm without the appropriate license. Mr. Dozier was very nice in explaining what needed to be done. He suggested that my son go ahead and take an online traffic class ahead of the court date. He knew that would help with the char...
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"I knew Chris when he was a prosecutor in Wake County and I tried cases against him. I've also known him as a defense lawyer. Chris has tried hundreds of bench trials and dozens of jury trials. He is a smart and effective lawyer. I would endorse him."
"Chris has taken the extensive trial experience and legal knowledge he gained prosecuting countless cases as an Assistant District Attorney into private practice as a defense attorney. Since switching sides he has done excellent work defending the rights of the general public. I recently left the criminal practice and entrusted Chris to take over my most serious cases. I know my former clients will get the high quality representation from Chris they expected when they hired me."
"Chris has been very helpful to my firm in taking over cases when our criminal defense attorney was no longer available to handle these matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have been impressed with the quality of his work. He represents his clients zealously and has a large amount of trial experience from his time working for the District Attorney's Office. I am always comfortable referring clients to him."
