DWI charge
I hired Mr. Chris Dozier for a DWI charge in Wake County. After appeals, Mr. Dozier and I went to trial. Chris is the most honest, straight forward, punctual attorney I have ever come into contact with. If I called or emailed, I got a direct response. After going to trial in front of a jury, Mr. Dozi...

Highly recommend
Mr. Dozier expressed confidence in his ability to win my case - a minor drinking offense - and he followed through perfectly. For a reasonable price Mr. Dozier appeared on my behalf for all my court dates, kept my updated throughout my case, and answered every single question I had promptly. He respo...

Results!

Chris Dozier Is a Great Lawyer

"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."
