Posted by anonymous | June 25, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Out of state anonymous

I didn’t realize the speed reduced that fast and received a ticket for 64 mph in a 45, 19 over. In Camden county NC. Was a big deal to my driving record, scene I had a clean record with a CDL. I received 10 solicitations in the mail. I looked them all up on the Internet and fired two. The other eight... I gave a two or three minute call to. Five out of the eight pretty much said I would get a nonmoving violation and the fees were across-the-board as far as court costs and a ordinance violation fee. I recommend everybody else do the same. Mr. Dixon was able to get everything done for me for less than $500 and the least Amount of effort on my behalf. This firm is highly professional and efficient. Hands-down, I would go directly to the Dixon law firm without shopping if needed.

Awesome!!

Getting a speeding ticket is no fun but this office made it all better! The staff was so pleasant in phone call and email correspondence and handled everything so clearly and quickly. Mr Dixon even got my case resolved ahead of the scheduled court date!

Traffic Summons

We had received a Traffic Summons in an area that was designed for such Summons, we immediately reached out to Attorney Dixon's office for assistance. Our initial contact was with Gray who was a complete professional and explained to us in detail how we would be dealing with out current situation. Wi...thin an hour our our first conversation Attorney Dixon also called and re-confirmed what Gray had told us. We engaged the firms assistance and within 24 hours our mater was resolved exactly how it was initially explained to us. We would like to than Dixon & Thompson for all of their assistance and would not hesitate to use them again should the need arise.

Speeding ticket

I live in TN, but was visiting family in the Outer Banks on May 15th, 2017 when I got a speeding ticket (my first). I was informed by the officer that I would have to appear or be represented at court proceeding. My brother-in-law is an attorney in TN, so I asked him what to do. He contacted Mr. D...ixon's office about representing me. After his discussion, he gave me Mr. Dixon's number and I asked that he represent me. His office staff were very helpful in walking me through the process. I was very pleased with his representation and the court outcome. Should I ever need his services again, I would not hesitate to contact him again. I have family in NC and would definitely recommend him should they need legal help.

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.
