Excellent

I have used Gary Dawson's services, I have recommended him, and I would happily do it again. I find him to be thorough, persistent, and genuinely concerned for his clients. He keeps the client informed, making sure everything is understood. In my experience, his work goes beyond what other attorne...ys would do. For that reason, he brings results beyond what anyone else would have.

Great Lawyer!

Gary Dawson is a great lawyer. He handled everything. He makes sure all your questions are answered. He makes sure he goes over everything with you. He always calls to check on his clients and keeps us updated. My son also hired Mr. Dawson for an auto accident. He and his paralegal are awesome t...o work with.

Gary Dawson

I hired Gary after my daughter had a horrible auto accident. His professionalism and character is outstanding. Gary kept me informed every step of the process and after many months of discussions won the case for my daughter. An excellent attorney that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Professional, Experienced, Results-Oriented Attorney

Gary Dawson provided legal representation to me twice--once after an automobile accident and the other for personal injury. Gary delivered sound advice, carefully explaining each step of the process and remaining actively involved throughout the process. He was professional, thorough, and effective ...in successfully resolving each of my cases for the maximum dollar amount.

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.
