A smart and trust worthy straight shooter.

I enjoy working with Dixon. He's always looking out for my better interests and he's very good at sharing his legal advice in terms that I can understand.

Contract Review

I have utilized Dixon's Services in reviewing and formulating contracts for my business. Dixon is knowledgeable, easy to work with and trustworthy.

Money in the Bank

With Dixon's advice, recommendations, and implementation. He has saved both myself (and friends that have recommended) money in current and possible future litigation. He has helped in the setting up of S-Corporations, LLC's, employee manuals and buy sell agreements. His office is inviting and I f...elt he listened to my concerns and help me to understand how to minimize my exposure. With his help I feel i have more "Money in the Bank".

Incorporation,Contract Law or Meaningful Advice Dixon Howell is THE Right Choice

Our firm has been using Dixon Howell’s law firm for all our agreements. Dixon is a good contract lawyer and they are just hard to find. I was particularly impressed with his ability to point out potential pitfalls and areas of risk – this much-needed feedback helped us shore up the risk on mission cr...itical contracts. We have been using Dixon Howell’s Firm for all our legal agreements and contracts, and we will be using them moving forward. Dixon also provided advice on a civil dispute. He was a great asset to us during the early stages of this dispute, thanks to his words of advice, he gave us sanity to navigate the process and set our expectations until an insurance appointed attorney was assigned. If you are currently looking for a business law attorney, I recommend you contact Dixon Howell.

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.
