Would highly recommend to any and everyone I know

I am so glad I worked with The Dickerson Oxton LLC Law office. After my car was rear-ended, injuring my mother and I, I presented the case to many different lawyers who scoffed at it, said it wasn't a worthy case, and that I should move on with my life. I was ready to let this case go until I made a... call to this law office. Thomas Dickerson spoke with me personally and told me to come in to meet with him. From the first consult I could tell he actually cared and he reassured me that my case WAS worth it. Both Thomas and Chelsea were there for my mother and I every step of the way. They were always available to answer any and every question I had without ever making me feel like I was bothering them from more important work. They called to update me on things as well as prepare me for the next steps in the process. They treated me like family and made sure from start to finish my mother and I were taken care of. I would recommend this Law firm if you want a team who is professional, prompt, and treats their clients like family. I could go on and on but once you hire them you will find out for yourself. Thank you Dickerson Oxton LLC law office for everything you have done for my family and I. You guys are the BEST.

  • 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.
