    Review John Dickson

    Phone consult

    Posted by

    I called Mr Dixon about a case in Will County and even though he told me straight away he wouldn’t be able to do the case. He gave me counsel for about 45 mins on what he thought I should do. Not a lot off attorneys would give you that much time knowing the case wasn’t for them. Thank you.

    Me. Dickson was very pleasant on the phone and gave concise, easy to understand answers to my questions. If we proceed, I do plan to retain his services.
