Excellent Service

I had a problem with a traffic issue. When I called the offices of Dale Carson I spoke with Samantha Lambertson. I explained my issue and she immediatley understood. She walked me step by step through what I needed to do and told me what to do as a follow up. I hired the firm to handle the legal aspe...cts of my issue. I felt that the charges were very reasonable. After following her advice my issues were solved. If I ever have need of the services that they offer I will hire them again.

review of carson

did what they said , except they said they would probably get me a reduced fees because I never received the first notice, but that didn't happen was charged the full amount , when I paid the fee it had a disclaimer that says if you pay this you are admitting guilt a...nd points will be assessed but I don't know if that happened as it said there would be no points

Dale Christopher

Such a very helpful man. I was shaken up about a petit theft charge, and left work early just to call him and have him calm me down with what he had to tell me. I’m not going to jail after all!

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.
