DUI

I hired Liam for my DUI he explained all the procedures field all the motions an we went to a hearing about my license right away. He won an i didn’t get suspended or have to install anything to drive. He set it for trial immediately and I was found not guilty of everything including the tickets give...n after my accident. Liam’s assistance Jerri was super helpful an kind also, loved how they work!

Liam Dixon is the man you need. He charges a fair price, works very hard for you and most importantly HE CARES!!!

I made a mistake and Liam worked hard to help me fix it. At almost 50 years old i had a spotless driving record and I made a mistake and was pulled over after having a couple of drinks with friends. I was always told not blow but after an extreme amount of pressure from the arresting officer i caved.... the next day I searched the internet to find "THE ONE" who would actually care about me and my case. Thank God I found Liam. Liam not only took my case case but he cared about helping me get through a very scary and life changing event in my life. Liam went to bat for me. He got my suspension rescended then got me probation. He saved my life from changing. The costs for his services were more than reasonable and could never make up for the genuine care he gave me and my dire situation. If you are reading this and are need of an attorney you would be foolish to look any further. Liam Dixon is the man you need. He charges a fair price, works very hard for you and most importantly HE CARES!!!

I appreciate the comments but would add it was not probation there was not a conviction entered. Good luck!

Waiting

I hired Liam to represent me and I can’t get him on the phone EVER! When someone does answer, it’s his secretary that can never get a hold of him and doesn’t know his schedule. He doesn’t set up meetings to review the case and my case is in limbo and I don’t feel like he cares at all about my life an...d the money I pay him is just going down the drain. Considering consulting another lawyer because he isn’t trying to work on my case at all!!

As I do not who this is it is difficult to respond. It may be that I was consulted but not retained but I spend most evening returning calls as I am in court most days. I am sure you have my direct email if we spoke any you can contact me there for a response

Where in the world Is Liam Dixon?

Seriously the communication between Mr. Dixon, his office staff and myself is completely non-existent. You will not be given any way to communicate with your own PAID attorney instead you will be directed to communicate with office staff. Every conversation you will have with the staff will be rushe...d, you can feel them trying to get you off the phone as soon as possible while also being pretty rude in the act. As first timers you will probably have so many questions but you can only ask them to the office staff. You will get promised answers (with rude tones) on the next call back that you never receive. Truly I have called in so many times every time with a promise of a call back that I eventually after a week or 2 give up on waiting for so I just call back in again lo and behold to get the same answer (we will call you back with an answer) and the cycle just comes back around. I can say this is definitely not giving me any impression that they care at all about my case or freedom but only about the money, because you may not receive calls or answers back but you will surely receive reminders of your invoice. Hiring an attorney is obviously not like making a purchase for most services but the basics are the same, you pay for a service and a company provides it for you. In this case I am paying for a service and have no idea what that service is doing for me and I could understand if it cost a few cents or bucks but were talking thousands and thousands of $'s here. If I am giving someone the larger portion of my income I expect at the very least a call back or the answer to atleast one of my questions however 2 months later I'm still running in circles trying to get ONE answer for ONE question. Your treated exactly as the state labels you, a criminal, but aren't I considered innocent until proven guilty? Yes? Then why is it I feel looked down on by the people I am paying to protect my freedom? Fighting a case your under extreme bad nerves but waiting on that call or answer just makes it worse which then never comes and it's scary it messes with your head even more. Your already short money, you expect the people that you're paying to care about your freedom to actually care or atleast seem like they are but I don't get that impression here. It's been a nerve wrecking frustrating situation to say the least.
