About Dawn
Biography
I have been an attorney for over 15 years. The majority of my experience was as a prosecutor in several counties in the metro Atlanta area. As a defense attorney, my prosecutorial experience and network gives me an advantage to defending cases. I have extensive trial experience dealing with misdemeanors and felony cases. I have also taught for the past six years at local colleges in their Criminal Justice degree programs.

Awesome Lady
Ms. Belisle went over what I expected from an attorney. There was not a time that I contacted her did she not make time to answer my questions and let me know what was going on with my sons case. Very professional and attentive attorney.

WON'T RETURN PHONE CALLS SO i CAN ASK HER TO GET A POLICE REPORT THAT PROVES MY BROTHERS INNOCENCE. THE COUNTY WILL ONLY LET MY BROTHER WHOS IN JAIL, OR HER TO PICK IT UP.

Replied last February 18, 2013This person has obviously mistaken me for another attorney because I do not work for a law firm as I have my own law office. As an attorney I diligently communicate with all my CLIENTS in jail and out regarding their cases.

Unresponsive
In the past 9 months she has done nothing to aid my child and ignores our requests for help.

Replied last June 04, 2011This sentiment is based on the lack of knowledge by the above person on the court system here in Georgia and has nothing to do with the actual efforts put forth by myself to try and move this case along. Several correspondences have been made between myself and the family and the court system.
