Quick and straight forward

Great Attorney
I was charged with DUI. Liam worked to save my license and was also able to get it dropped to reckless so I don't have a DUI on my record. Jerri is great too. I highly recommend you hire Liam. He will work hard for you.

The best!
I hired Liam for a complicated case that another lawyer was selling me out on and made it worse over the time two counts of domestic battery. Liam knew I was not guilty listened to everything I said looked over my case he’s up to date with every law that changes.! Jerri the paralegal was the best also both of them are the dream team such a sweetheart women always gave me the best advice and what outcome to expect of everything. Always responsive never looked mad or bothered they are good at their job it’s their first home before their actual home that should tell you a lot. Liam got me a no guilty verdict in a bench trial he is so passionate at what he does you can tell he has all the judges and prosecutors respect! He is a LEGEND even the judge said I made the best decision hiring Liam! Thank you so much Liam and Jerri for always having me come in when I had questions and for being there when other lawyers turn the case down or wanted me to plea cause they had no time for my case. Liam is not afraid of trials he will fight for you if anyone wants to take your freedom he will go head to head against everyone who wants to hurt you! Happy holidays to you and Jerri and your family from me and my family. Dixon wins!!!! Don’t think twice hire him no regrets at all!

Absolutely Amazing!
I hired liam to help me with a class 4 felony manufacturing/delivery cannabis charge. From the beginning he was extremely helpful and got me in right away. His office administrator is extremely helpful and kind as well. They worked hard and got my case dropped completely. Couldnt have asked for a better experience with a lawyer. Thanks again Liam and the team!

Dixon said he was going to beat the case in trial. Sure enough he did! Only got charged for failure to yield.

Legal representation that stands with you.
After being highly recommend to Liam Dixon, by a very close and dear friend of mine. I contacted Mr Dixon’s Aurora Illinois office to schedule an appointment. In doing so I spoke with Jerri. A very professional, and a take charge type of woman, who is also Mr Dixon’s paralegal. Jerri immediately offered me several dates & times to try to accommodate my schedule. We quickly came to a date & time. On the date of my appointment, Mr Dixon already in his office was eager to meet with me. He stated he had previously reviewed my case and than proceeded to explain his approach to my issue. In agreement with Mr Dixon’s strategy, I immediately requested him to represent my case. He agreed, and proceeded to ask me a few various questions. In short Mr Dixon was able to have my case dismissed. Opinions may vary, everyone has one. In my opinion if you need legal representation, Liam Dixon is a lawyer who is straight forward to the point and says what needs to be said, when it needs to be said and delivers exactly what he says.

So far so good!
With this being my only case nothing was clear to me on top of that I had to try and communicate with family from inside the jail to help me find a lawyer. When I was released on bond I quickly realised the attorney my family hired was probably not suited for my specific set of circumstances in my opinion so I took another look around. Over and over again I heard the name Liam Dixon so I got his information from someone and called up his office. The lady I spoke to I beleive shes named Jerri was super nice and understanding she asked me to give her a couple days to check into my case. I never expected a call back the same day! When I got the call I was told they would be happy to take my case and I knew I was on the right track. I couldnt be more happy with my decision. When you call in theres no waiting as long as you call in during hours you will speak to someone I should know I have questions often. If they dont have the answer your looking for that moment they will get it for you by the next time you call in. If your looking for a lawyer that will take your calls 24/7 or check in on your wellbeing everyday then your looking for the wrong kind. Thats the kind that has alot of time because they dont have cases and a lawyer without cases is not a lawyer you want. You want someone who has cases because theres a reason they have them. They are good at them plain and simple. Thats what Liam Dixon and his office are. Work horses. No you cant call Liam Dixon and talk to him about your emotional issues or personal life problems because he doesnt have time hes too busy working on beating your case this is what they do. If this is what your looking for go see a therapist. The proof is in the pudding walk into this mans office and there are awards everywhere. There are articles literally covering the walls with the stories of wins. I for one can say that since hiring him my peace of mind has skyrocketed. Case is still ongoing but I will update this with the resolution when that time comes until then I will continue to stay optimistic with Liam and his crew by my side.

DUI Case
I hired Mr. Dixon to represent me in a DUI case that I was charged with. He carefully reviewed the Police officers video and found that what was written in the report was not what had actually happened. Mr. Dixon brought this information up to the Judge and I was found NOT guilty on the DUI charge after the Judge watched the video. I walked away with supervision and a small fine for the illegal lane change. Mr. Dixon was great to work with and I highly recommend him to others.

Although it was a fairly simply matter which he helped me out on, Liam is extremely knowledgeable, explains the law well, and is very hard working. Good guy and a great attorney. I highly recommend him.

One of the best
Hired Liam for a Class X felony, Intent to deliver controlled substances. From the beginning, he was easy to talk to and helped ease my stress. As the case went on, he explained what was going and the plan of action. In the end, the case was dropped. Couldn't ask for a better result. He is a great person and family man. Been local his whole life and would 100% use him again the situation called for it. You cannot go wrong with Dixon.

Exceptional service
Liam Dixon is an exceptional lawyer. I would highly recommend him. We took it to trial and got a NOT GUILTY verdict via bench trial. The states attorney dragged it out for almost 2 years, and every question and concern I had him or his office cleared the airway and gave me confidence. He is very trial ready and knowledgeable about trial. He knew when to object and have the states attorney's comments overruled. There aren't enough words that can describe his final argument so the judge can hear and see the passion he had for my case. I am highly satisfied with his work hours he put into the fight for my freedom. Thank you Mr. Dixon and god bless

Happy New Year
I was charged with 6 counts of aggravated battery to a child and domestic battery. He knew I could not get a conviction. He fought for me and we went to a jury trial. After only 15 MINUTES I was found NOT GUILTY of everything. I am able to keep my family, my job and my freedom. I have used him before and I will call Liam if I need a lawyer for anything.

Keeps working
I hired him for a felony in DeKalb and they offered two years because of my record. I then got another felony in Kane and then picked up a DUI and another felony. Liam fought for me and with all the cases I did not go to prison for any of the cases and my life is on the right track. Thanks Liam

Straightforward, reliable, and trustworthy...
I felt comfortable hiring Liam Dixon from the start. After laying out the details of my DUI, Liam walked through the probable outcome of my case, while laying out different variables. He set a realistic expectation while comforting me with his trial experience. While I never plan to find myself involved in a DUI again, I absolutely would turn to Liam Dixon again for legal matters in the future.

saved me
Got a DUI. The State offered me supervision but Liam thought he had a good chance even with a breath test. We went to trial and won both counts. I am glad I listened to him he knows what he is talking about.

Fighter
I had 6 felonies and a DUI in three separate cases. He went to trial and I was only convicted of obstructing justice. The State even dismissed the DUI after the last trial. I have sent all my friends to him and I will continue to send them. He fought for me.
