Christa Cook /Chriteris Allen

Mr Nixon representated my son in one of the hardest cases ever it wasn’t a easy fight but he gave his 100% effort he listened and gave us his best interest at heart .. Although we didn’t start out on a easy tread but throughout a year of in/out court appearances we grew . As the Mother of his client ...I would highly recommend Mr Nixon for a criminal defense attorney once again.. Awesome Job Mr Nixon And Thank You For Everything On Behalf Of Myself And My Son

Best settlement ever

Mr. Nixon was our attorney for two different issues. He was able to get a charge reduced and successfully guided us to a very good resolution of a suit filed against us. He was courteous, patient, professional, concerned and explained everything in such a clear way. We are very grateful for his rep...resentation and for his guidance in resolving all the issues we faced.

Excellent

In my opinion, Mr. Nixon is the best lawyer in Rutherford County. I was facing 2 felony charges that would have put me away for quite some time. But with the knowledge, confidence, and know how, Mr. Nixon had it brought down to 1 misdemeanor and one retirement. If you are looking for one of the bes...t lawyers out there who will care about your case, I highly recommend him. Thank you again, Mr.Nixon.

Excellent

I filed in civil court and figured I could do it myself. After a month or so I went to see Mr. Nixon. Previous experience made me very skeptical of lawyers. He spent a lot of time discussing what I wanted to do. A lawyer we used previously wasn't interested in our case cause it wasn't worth enough mo...ney for him. Mr Nixon charged a very fair price to take over. He worked with the other lawyer and kept me up to date. He returns emails and calls extremely fast. He ended up getting me more than I thought he would. Once again you won't regret hiring him and as long as I stay in this area I would never use anyone else.

Amazing Lawyer

Mr.Nixon was amazing from the start he met with me and my family. He always kept our best interest in everything he did for us. He was always there to answer all of my questions even if it was late. He exceeded far beyond my expectations for my case!! He was very attentive and never let me get over w...orried about my situation. He went into battle for me and conquered!!! I would never think about using anyone else ever again if any situation came to hand, I would go straight to him in confidence that the job would be done in my best interest. Please please just use him for your needs hes the man for the job 100%!!!!!!

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.
