Samuel B. Dixon

My wife and I, who live in Virginia, were heading north on US 17 on Sunday, May 21 after visiting friends in New Bern. While in Beaufort County, I received a ticket for driving 69 mph in a 55 mph Zone which carried fine $218.00. Court Date set as Monday, July 31, 2017. The speed limit had been 65 ...mph for a long stretch, but as the NC state trooper said when he pulled us over, the limit had been at 55 mph for some 20 miles - the change indicated by a large yellow sign and posted at intervals along the way. I simply had failed to notice these speed limit signs - which is not an excuse, but just the reason for my higher speed. Normally, my wife might have caught the change but she has had vision problems, having major eye surgery some weeks earlier. As a result, she was riding with her eyes closed to avoid the bright daylight, although not asleep. On May 23, I received the first of 11 letters from law firms practicing traffic law in Beufort County. All mentioned that my offense could result in points against my Virginia driver's license and increased car insurance premiums. All 11 firms offered to handle my case for me so I did not have to appear in count. All indicated that they might be able to have the charges reduced so points and an insurance premium increase could be avoided. I had the feeling that any of these firms could probably represent me reasonably well but delayed choosing one of them. I did not have time to appear in court personally myself so the alternatives were to either sign the citation and send it with the fine or to hire a local lawyer represent me. I was inclined to the latter but wanted to confirm that points and a premium increase were the likely result if I admitted to driving 14 miles over the limit by signing the citation. I did nothing until June 14. After on-line research I selected 3 firms to possibly call. Dixon & Thompson was not included. However, I decided again to look over the materials from all 11 firms. This time I was most impressed by D & T's mailing. Besides a good cover letter from Samuel Dixon, there was a color brochure about the firm and the consequences of receiving a speeding ticket in NC, and a Waiver of Appearance designating Dixon & Tompson Law, PPLC to represent me. This second impression of D & T's solicitation compared to those from the other firms caused me to check D & T's references on line and then decide to call them first. I only got around to the call just before 5:00 pm on Friday, June 16. Because it was late in the day, I was expecting to reach an answering machine and ask that someone to contact me on Monday. However, Ms. Patty Bass, an admin assistant answered and was very gracious to talk with me despite the hour. She explained how they would proceed and their fee arrangement and that a Ms. Retha Fooks, a legal assistants, would follow up on our conversation. Ms. Fooks emailed me early Monday, June 19, fully explaining how they would proceed and the info they needed from me. Based on this, I decided to engage the firm's Samuel Dixon to handle my case. It took some time to prepare my written statement of events leading up to the ticket and I only provided everything to Ms. Fooks on June 27. At the time, I thought it might be a couple of weeks before I heard back regarding my case, but to my surprise, Ms. Fooks emailed me back on Friday, June 30. It began: "I am pleased we were able to successfully handle your case, Have a great weekend!" It added that my ticket was reduced to a lesser violation and that I would not incur any points or increase in insurance premiums. It turns out that the only individuals with whom I had contact at D & T were Ms Bass and Ms Fooks, which I think was due to the routine nature of my offense. Nonetheless, I feel both were very professional in dealing with me and great assets for D & T. My sincere thanks to them and others at D & T involved in my case. Warren H. Virginia

Mr Dixon was able to get a speeding ticket reduced to a city code, saving me from points on my drivers license and possible insurance increases. The receptionist was very polite and let me know all the information I would need to provide, and what they would do for me. They handled the matter very q...uickly as well. The cost was very reasonable, especially since I am from out of state and it would have cost me both time and money to go down and appear in court.

I am not one to leave reviews but I couldn't be happier with this service. I am so thankful and appreciative to have hired Mr. Samuel Dixon to represent me in two different counties where I was ticketed and mandated to appear in court. I am out of state and to appear myself was not an option. Unlike... other local lawyers from the area, Mr. Dixon was very patient and informative about the entire process. This meant so much to me considering I don't interact with the court system at all and felt very overwhelmed researching and trying to do it on my own. Mr. Dixon answered my call personally even AFTER HOURS (7pm!!) the very first time I contacted him. Our initial consultation was comforting and he reduced my stress as he explained the process in a way I could understand. He handled my case before the court dates and that lifted my worries about the outcome, which he was ultimately successful in reducing my tickets and avoiding the reports to my insurance and license. Mr. Dixon’s rates were appropriate and it is completely worth the cost of his services considering if my insurance increased it would have been drastically more expensive over the course of 3 years. I would completely recommend Samuel Dixon for legal services and his experience and expertise saved me time and money.

I used his services when I obtained an unfortunate speeding ticket while visiting the Outer Banks. Mr. Dixon resolved this incredibly swiftly with no points on my drivers license or insurance. He took the time to even call me on a weekend, and he resolved the case weeks before the assigned court dat...e. I would not hesitate to use his services again, and I'm glad I found him.

Attorney Samuel Dixon and his paralegal Ms. Swain provided positive results in the most expeditious manner possible! After completing the free online consultation form, I received a call back from Mr. Dixon on Christmas Eve, mere hours after I submitted the form on their website: www dot speedingtra...fficticket dot com/halifax-county dot html (http://speedingtrafficticket.com/halifax-county.html). Handling business on Christmas Eve was a pleasant surprise. Mr. Dixon was immediately reassuring with his professional demeanor and was determined to provide the best possible outcome in my case. Less than one week later, he was able to garner a deal and my citation was reduced to a non-moving violation, resulting in no points on my license or DMV driving record. Communication was quick, professional and frequent through phone calls and email messages I received from both attorney and paralegal. I highly recommend that you seek out Mr. Dixon's services if you ever have a traffic violation in / around Halifax County, NC. I do not have experience with Mr. Dixon in other areas of the law, but if his performance and the positive outcome in my case are any indication, then this individual clearly knows what he is doing. I hope to not ever need his services again, but if I do, I will not hesitate to immediately call Attorney Samuel Dixon!
