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 als...o 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!

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 be...fore and I will call Liam if I need a lawyer for anything.

Finishes strong!

I hired Mr Dixon to defend my son on a tragic class X felony Drug Induced Homicide charge. Mr Dixon is not a priest, a therapist, or a bartender. He is a very skilled lawyer. If you need a shoulder to cry on or a hand to hold, then find one of the former. But if you need a highly trained pitbull in a... cage to be wheeled into the courtroom and released on the anyone trying to take your freedom or your money, I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Dixon's court presence. He took a very difficult case against a very determined State Prosecutor and chewed her up thoroughly! We walked out with a not guilty verdict that stunned the State's Attorney! I will say that up until trial I was extremely frustrated with Mr Dixon's bedside manner as he is difficult to communicate with directly. But during the trial I began to understand why he was so hard to talk to whenever I wanted. He is so focused on doing what he does best; winning in the courtroom! Hiring Mr Dixon was the best decision!

Very Sharp Attorney

Liam Dixon has represented me many times. In 2007 I was charged with 2 murders. I was found not guilty after a trial on one murder charge and the other murder charge was dismissed by filing a motion to dismiss. Also in 2007 I was found not guilty of possession of a controlled substance and criminal... trespass after trial. In 2008 I was charged with aggravated battery and Mr. Dixon got it dismissed. In 2009, I had a felony obstruction of justice and fleeing and eluding charge that Mr. Dixon got dismissed by filing a motion to dismiss. Also in 2009 we went to trial on an aggravated DUI charge, and I was found not guilty. Mr. Dixon is a very sharp attorney, and knows the law inside and out. He stays on top of the laws as they change. I would highly recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges. He will be honest with you, and tell you what you will be facing. He will not waste your time.

The Best

I hired Mr. Dixon for a felony gun charge. We went to trial and he won the two most serious felonies, and I was convicted of the lowest class felony. Now he is filing a motion to get that thrown out based on new case law. I then hired him for a Class X shooting case. The State offered 11 years. M...r. Dixon took the case to trial. The court found me not guilty before we even had to present a case.
