Very Impressed

I used Dixon and Thompson law to resolve a speeding ticket that I received. After filling out the online form I received a call from Mr. Dixon within an hour to provide a free consultation. The fees were very reasonable and the ticket was reduced beyond my expectations ahead of the scheduled court da...te. If you are trying to get a speeding ticket reduced this is your guy!

Excellent choice for traffic violations in North Carolina!

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!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
