Won my case and saved my CDL
Mr. Dickerson won my case and saved my career. I'm an over the road driver and a DUI would have cost me my career. Mr. Dickerson won my case because my acid reflux threw off the breath machine. Mr. Dickerson is very down to earth, and not full of himself like some other lawyers I've known.

Won my case. Charged me less.

The insurance company tried to say that I was speeding, and they only offered half my car value and medical bills as settlement. After I hired Mr. Dickerson, he was able to get me $150,000.00. This wa...
