Ms. Rebekah Benamon

I was in a car accident and I called Dwight. He gave me an appointment the same day. He went over my all of my papers with me. He was nice and friendly. He got me a court date the same year and I got my all of my money back. Because of Dwight, I won my lawsuit. I would highly recommend that you co...ntact Dwight, for his services.

Thank you!

When I met Dwight, he was even more concerned with my situation than I was. I felt that he personally valued my time and my worth and wanted me to have exactly what I deserved. He contacted my old employer that had withheld a few payments of mine and got back to me everything I was entitled to and mo...re in the most professional way. I can't thank him enough for his service!

Do not use this lawyer

He took my case and my payment and walked away from my court case. He told me he would walk away from my case and have another lawyer from his firm represent me and never did. I SHOWED UP TO COURT AND LOST MY CASE BECAUSE OF HIS IRRESPONSIBLE. I LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF THIS DWIGHT.

Nice Man.........busy.......hard to get hold of...

I've known Dwight for about 2 years......he was referred by family attorney. He is well versed and networked in dealing with dealerships that have become creative in administering unscrupulous remedies to customers. Though my case did not yield the desired results......Dwight's generosity and tenac...ity in representing my interests were top notch. My only challenge has been to get finalized docs from our case to bring closure to this matter which has gone through the courts for 2 years.

Very Helpful

Dwight was very helpful with my case and explained everything that he did and why he thought we should do certain things, he gave me my options. For me to choose. We settled out of court. Saved all the hassle and heartache of the courtroom battle. I am happy with the settlement. Glad for everything t...o be over and done.
