Extraordinary Results with Scott K Dillin

I recently was ticketed for a traffic violation that is considered a class 3 misdemeanor (G.S. 20-141 (J1)) and which could potentially involve license revocation, jail time, community service, or all of the above. Needless to say, I was very concerned and knew I needed to hire a seasoned advocate t...o assist. After reviewing more than a dozen such candidates, I decided to call the offices of Scott K. Dillin. Scott personally spoke with me, immediately put my mind at ease, described my options and our path forward. Not only was I able to avoid the court date (Scott appeared in my place), but I could not have possibly hoped for a better case resolution. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how much value Scott brought to the table and how happy I am with the outcome!

This guy knows what he’s doing and is truly the best at what he does. Mr. Dillin hadled my case lickety split no problem. He got it handled like he does it in his sleep. I have years of experience with traffic lawyers and he just nailed the top spot. His work is beyond superb. It is truly spectacular..., and I hope he’s able to live a long, prosperous, and fulfilling happy life by continuing to help people like me in the manner of which he has. Thank you, Mr. Dillin!

Absolutely fantastic

Right off let me tell you that Scott Dillin was fantastic. The charges were dismissed and I avoided insurance and court fine and appearance hassles. I was driving on the I40 in the Buncombe county section when I was pulled over and issued a ticket for "79 in a 60mph zone" - GS-20-141 The officer to...ld me that a court appearance was necessary (not ok for me - I live in Kentucky) but I could pay the fines online and avoid court. I found out later that first - it was not possible to pay it online because the of the speed and second it was a pretty serious charge (if not properly disposed off - I did a bit of research). I looked at a lot of lawyers and received a lot of mail - Lawyers who looked up my ticket and offered services. I looked up Scott on the web and had the feeling that this was a serious minded professional with the interests of his clients at heart. He also posted on issues I care about. The important thing is that if you are looking for a lawyer I suggest you seriously consider at least calling Scott's office - I am quite sure that you will not be disappointed.

Can I give 6 out of 5 stars?

Scott K. Dillon was fantastic. I had a speeding ticket (69 in a 45). Since I live in CO, the return to NC would have cost far more I paid for his services. He was very pleasant on the phone. I was more than a bit surprised that he nearly guaranteed an outcome far better than I imagined. I was ev...en more surprised when he achieved the promised outcome. No points, no increase in insurance. I could not be happier.

Highly Recommended for getting results more than expected

I was expecting my charges for a speeding ticket to be reduced but instead Mr. Dillin notified me he was able to get the charge dismissed. Early Christmas gift. Thank you, very much.
