2nd Dui

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

Got me out of a jam

I was stopped for speeding and charged with a DUI. Liam filed a motion to keep my license from being suspended and he won. In fact, the state agreed to drop the entire DUI. I have used him before, send family members to him and will use him again if I ever need a lawyer.

DUI...DISMISSED!

After a humiliating 1st time DUI arrest, Liam Dixon successfully negotiated the following with the prosecutor for me: No BAIID device in my car (Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device--the device you have to blow into to start your car) and this was my first offense AND I didn't blow, normally re...quiring an 11 month BAIID device hookup (if you do blow and blow over, 5 months is normally required, he got me ZERO MONTHS.) No SCRAM bracelet (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor--24/7 ankle bracelet that detects alcohol consumption) Got me an immediate work driving permit and I had my regular license back in 30 days. Liam got the judge to dismiss my DUI and I plead to a lesser traffic offense, so it's not a criminal one. Liam is direct and clear. If there is a way to get you out of or lessen the severity of the situation your in, he's the one who can do it. He will put you at ease, calm your fears, reduce your stress and get you the very best outcome possible. He will even add a little wit and sarcasm to get you to laugh (or at least smile) in the midst of your misery. :) Liam is gifted; he's brilliant and he WINS...period. Call him!

Great for all kinds of cases

I know him for doing several large drug cases, murders and DUI's but I called him for my daughters traffic ticket. He handled it with almost no effort on our part. My daughter did not get a conviction and she was able to attend school instead of going to court. I don't plan on needing him for anyt...hing more serious, but if I do i know he will take care of it.

Garbage!!! Cop out lawyer

This dude is terrible! I got a driving on revoked, and when I got to court I got offered 60 days. I told the court I wanted a continuance so I can get a lawyer. Hired Liam Dixon and he said he would get me no jail time and supervision... I goto court 3 more times and finally he said best he can do f...or me is 60 days.. So I payed $1500 and he did absolutely nothing for me.. Garbage!!! Also my friend used him as lost aswell!

Not sure which Andrew this is as the most recent I had with a DWLR received supervision. The trouble with some driving cases is the mandatory minimums that the legislature put in place for repeated offenders. However, please feel free to contact my office if you would like to discuss this further

  • 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.
