Speeding Ticket

Scott did a great job of getting this resolved for me for a reasonable price. Being from out of state it's nice to find some one that can take care of this that has a good reputation.

Quick and Easy Process - Clear Communication

Scott Dillon represented me in an old case that was causing me a lot of stress and anxiety. Even after the initial consultation, I felt much more at ease and confident that he was going to do whatever he could to help me out! A few weeks after I hired him, my case was handled and closed with my char...ges reduced, just a few fines, and no hit to my insurance!

Great choice

Hired Mr. Dillin to represent me on a speeding charge in Buncombe County District Court. Being from out of state I did not know how process worked but Scott handled everything, I prepaid online and case was dismissed on the court date. Thankful to have hired Mr. Dillan for this situation.

Followed Through Diligently & Professionally

Scott Dillin and his office staff were prompt in answering calls and following through with information about my court date . My traffic incident could have exposed me unfairly to high fines, and possibly even criminal charges, but Scott was able to get it dismissed. I did not have to appear in court.... I felt his fee was fair and in line with the usual and customary legal fees in my area. I definitely would hire him again and recommend him to my friends for similar matters. My insurance rates will not be affected thanks to his effective representation.

Traffic Ticket

Hire him. Trust him. He has it. Hired him for a traffic ticket I got in Asheville in a speed trap. It had dropped from 60 to 50 and I missed it completely. Hired Scott upon the recommendation of a Highway Patrolman friend if you can believe it, and so glad I did. He got it dismissed for the initial f...ees quoted if you can also believe that! Professional, fair, speedy response, and effective. Whatever your situation it will have a better outcome with him than without him.

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.
