More than pleased !

Dale handled our case promptly and professionally! He and his paralegal were understanding and very considerate of our sensitive case. We were more than pleased with the outcome of our case which settled in mediation without the need of trial.

We were thankful to have Mr. Akins represent us in our legal battle with an irresponsible driver. To say that Dale Akins displayed true professionalism, understanding and compassion ...would be an understatement!

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.
