Will fight for termination of rights, if enough money is offered

For $20,000 she will let one parent offer the other parent $550,000 for termination of parental rights.

Caring, helpful, and professional

Mrs. Dixon supported me and walked me through what was a scary and somewhat daunting process. She helped me understand the steps necessary for my divorce. She was there for me from start to end. I would gladly recommend her to anyone in need.

The best choice for to correct a bad choice!

Tricia is the absolute best lawyer I could have hired to help with my divorce. She is calm, experienced, powerful, and caring. When I needed reassurance, she was rock solid in restoring my confidence that everything would work out. She helped me feel safe during a very uncertain time by providing ...me with the answers to any and all questions I had about the divorce process and what I needed to do to prepare for mediation. Tricia understands divorce cases in and out, taking care of clients business and emotional needs. She was always available when I needed her and helped keep mediation proceedings to one day which saved time, energy, and money. With the perfect blend of powerful professionalism and supportive reassurance, hiring Tricia is worth every penny spent and I know she is truly happy to have given me a fresh start.

Highly recommend

Patricia helped me through my divorce and both my ex-husband and I found her to be knowledgeable, professional, and fair. She did a brilliant job of making sure we understood all aspects of our case and made sure we worked in the best interest of our child. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!...

You won't be disappointed.

Going through a divorce is not easy especially when there are children involved. I know very well since I divorced my baby daddy twice. I had an idea of what the divorce process would look like and even had a copy of my first decree. Even so, Patricia Dixon did an amazing job of showing me the thi...ngs I missed or had not been pointed out to me by my first lawyer. My ex decided not to get a lawyer and I was the go between. Patricia was extremely patient and supportive of how I should handle things. Her experience and knowledge proved to be invaluable. Her genuine caring and concern of my case kept me calm during a time that was very chaotic and overwhelming. I am extremely thankful and grateful that I had one of the good ones on my side.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
