Dale Akins
I had an excellent experience with this lawyer in an auto injury case. Since the accident happened when I was visiting my mother, I had to work on it from out of town, and Mr. Akins and his law firm were enormously helpful in keeping me informed of what was happening and guiding me through the procedures necessary for the case. He was very good at the deposition taking and obtained for me a good and fair outcome. I highly recommend this lawyer.

"Dale is a superb lawyer. He is hardworking, diligent and well-known not only in his community, but around the courthouses. If I ever had a personal legal matter involving the need for a trial lawyer, Dale would be the one I would hire. I've known Dale since my days at Furman University and followed his career.
