Testimonials

Mr. Dawkins helped me when I was involved in an accident and was charged as being at fault. I knew that it wasn’t my fault and he fought for me getting the case dismissed. He really helped me out in a tough situation when others would not.

Testimonials

Mr. Dawkins made my traffic violation so easy. I had never been to court before and I was nervous. He was able to get my citation dismissed and I never even went to court. He saved my insurance and points on my license. It really gave me peace of mind knowing a board certified specialist was helping me.

Testimonials

Mr. Dawkins represented me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I had been charged with first degree murder for defending myself and family in my own home. My case went to trial and the prosecution argued that I should go to prison for the rest of my life. Mr. Dawkins not only convinced the jury that I was not guilty, but my self defense was justified. The jury acquitted me and I went home with my family. I will be forever grateful for the legal work Mr. Dawkins provided me.
