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.
