I highly recomend Attorney Juan Dotson

I would highly recomend Attorney Juan Dotson to my family and friends. He is very professional and at the same time very personable. He kept me informed and saved me significant amounts in fines via dismissal and fine reduction's. If you need a very good Lawyer call Attorney Juan Dotson, thank you, ...Phil [last name removed]

I was charged with marijuana possession. The gang cops got into my car without my permission. He believed in me, investigated the case, and got my case dismissed after he filed a motion. Thank you for the help.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
