Dustin Randolph Dow

Mr. Dow deftly managed handled my criminal case. He worked intelligently and quickly. He was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Mr. Dow to anybody looking for a criminal lawyer in western North Carolina.

Dustin acted quickly and aggressively on a sticky situation in our neighborhood. He was responsive, easy to deal with, and really gave the matter his personal attention. Dustin has a great balance of being a professional and almost like a friend. I highly recommend him and have passed his name on to several people already. email contacts --

Dustin handled my recent drug charge. He is very down to earth and easy to talk to. Like the other reviews I have read he breaks the "lawyer" stereotypes. His pricing was very fair and he did a great job. Thanks again Dustin! Brian M.

Dustin did a great job with my case, he breaks stereotypes of a what people think of lawyers, he was honest and fair about the financial side of things. Dustin is professional and knows the right people, thank you Dustin. -F. Ayers

Dustin handled our landlord problem perfectly and really helped us out of a tough situation. He kept us updated and got quick results for us. I highly recommend him! Thanks Dustin!

My experience with Mr. Dow has been outstanding. Dustin explains legal terminology and situations to me in a systematic and logical manner. He stays objective during the job but is also able to connect on a interpersonal level using empathy and, in my opinion, appropriate humor. He is a great lawyer and I am happy to have him in my corner.

Came here expecting to find nothing but bad reviews...am surprised that is not the case, but not pleasantly so. It seems he is one of the best your money can buy in this area, but God help you if you ever find yourself in need of a court appointed attorney in Madison County, NC and you draw this guy out of the hat. I have been and know people represented by him that have languished in the jail in Marshall anywhere from 5 months to well over a year without seeing a courtroom on matters that are typically resolved within 1-3 months with public defenders. Never a visit, his office number has blocked collect calls and he doesn't respond to letters. If the inmate is lucky enough to have someone try to contact him in their stead, he will cheerfully tell them convincing lies about how he has things ready to be handled on the upcoming court date and not to worry. Invariably, Mr. Dow files a motion for continuance.. rarely is the motion filed by the state. I'm sure a man as esteemed as Dustin Dow is sought after and very busy helping people and earning his piece of the American Dream. It would be a great thing if he would take the time to do his civic duty and use his legal prowess to help the citizens who can't afford the representation they are entitled to by law. It's not like it's pro bono...court appointed attorneys get compensated for the fees they incur either at the expense of the state if the charges are dropped or a bill added to the defendants court costs in the case of a guilty plea or verdict. Even the guards in Madison County Detention Center will laugh and tell the poor inmate who has just been appointed Dustin Dow, "Well, you're stuck now. Might as well settle in." This is unfortunately not an exaggeration. I'm sure he really is a five star lawyer...I'm just putting this out here so people who are reading these reviews for their incarcerated loved ones and hopefully to remind Mr. Dow to please remember the little guys too. If anything they need your help more urgently than those that can post bond and pay your retainer.

Talked to Mr. Dow about a month ago, still haven't heard back, emailed the office and all I get is that we are very busy and will get back with you. I am a paying Client and yet I am treated like nothing, all I'm waiting on is the initial contract. I would not recommend this lawyer.
