Jeff and his team never gave up
I’m here at the tail end of 4 years start to finish and I wouldn’t be here today without the help of Jeff. 4 years of arrests, jail, rehabs, violating probation, and doing that all in repeat again. I’ve taken a lot of time to work on myself in that time, rest multiple times, and I don’t think I would have had that chance without looking for lawyers until I found Jeff. Him and his team took on my first case and several after, while I spiraled through my alcoholism and mental health issues. They have always kept an open line of communication with me, through being in rehab and jail. I believe that I couldn’t have had a better outcome with my cases, I didn’t go to prison, everything on my record is something that I can live with or expunge from my record. I haven’t ever regretted my decision choosing Jeff as my lawyer, I shopped around and he was what I felt the most capable to handle my case and everyone there, Johnathan, James, we’re incredible help that entire time. My life is finally getting back on track, I’m sober for over a year and a half now, and the future feels brighter a lot brighter than addiction and jail. This was a really important time in my life and I will forever appreciate these guys and all the work they put in for me to get another shot.

Excellent Attorney
Mr. Dickerson and his staff did an amazing job helping me throughout the process. The team is very friendly and always answered the phone and returned calls. Mr. Dickerson was able to get a DUI reduced to reckless driving and I could not be more thankful for him. I highly recommend choosing him to represent you!

Great job and friendly
The Dickerson firm help make a hard experience easier. Going through this for the first time I had no idea what to do but the team at this firm know their stuff. It was easy to work with the team. It was odd how much of a back seat I could take. They had the answers before I knew what to ask and I’m very much appreciative.

DUI wizard
Mr. Dickerson is a professional. He got my charges dropped to reckless driving and there’s no way I would have gotten that kind of result on my own. When I initially got my DUI I thought I was completely screwed, but I hired the Dickerson Firm and thanks to them, I’m not tied down by a DUI Charge on my record.

Beat my DUI with Jury Trial
Mr. Dickerson was great! He knows what he is doing, he knows DUI law, and he won my case through a Jury Trial. He was just outstanding overall. I recommend that you get him as your attorney, he will fight for you! This saved my job and allowed me to finally move on with my life. I don't have anything but good things to say about him and his office!

Top notch DUI Attorney
I can say without any hesitation, Mr. Dickerson is by far the best attorney in the Cobb/Cherokee County and greater Atlanta area practicing in the area of DUI. His knowledge of the court system is great and this firm's style of case management and transparency via mycase is also unparalleled. I highly recommend him. He got my 3rd DUI arrest in 10 years reduced to a reckless driving with minimal non-reporting probation and no jail time.

Above and Beyond
Hiring The Dickerson firm was definitely the best descision I could've made after my DUI prosecution started. They managed to make the process painless and simple and most importantly I don't have a DUI on my record. These people at Dickerson firm do care and that's all you need when you are looking for someone to represent you at a court.

Thank you Jeff Dickerson!
I have the utmost respect for The Dickerson Firm. Jeff Dickerson is an absolute professional and is thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate to the needs of the client. Our daughter has been on a very tough "Life's" journey and done things that were brought on by outside influences. She did some bad things as a result of outside influences and bad decisions. Jeff and his staff understand the plight of today's addiction epidemic and we are very, very fortunate to have found them. Jonathan, is Jeff's assistant and was very supportive and responsive to anything that we needed or asked about. He took the time to always check in and ask how we were doing and keeping us updated on any of the legal processes that were occurring. We used Jeff Dickerson, not once but twice and both times he and his staff came through for us and our daughter. I truly believe if we had gone with anyone else to help our daughter, the outcome would not have been as positive as Jeff and his staff created. Jeff knows the system and understands the law. He is very passionate and personal in understanding the journey of an addict and is persistent in his fight to get the best outcome for his client. We saw this first hand and would highly recommend him. I would ask any parent who's child is fighting addiction and has run ins with the law to seek out The Dickerson Firm first. We went through the journey for 9 years and we wish we had found them earlier in the bad phases of our daughter's journey. I attest that you will not be disappointed. Thank you Jeff and Jonathan for taking on our daughter's case and helping us get her to a better place. We appreciate y'all very much.
