These guys were great! This was an out of state matter, which could've meant taking a day off from work to deal with this, but I didn't even have to go to court. They explained all my options, what was the best path to take and they addressed this matter so efficiently and kept me advised every step of the way! Initially I was so stressed; it was such a relief to know that I had a professional legal team handling this---and it wasn't expensive at all---very reasonable. I want to thank Gray and the whole team at Dixon and Thompson for their help on this. I would highly recommend them!

Outstanding Legal Support from Samuel B. Dixon, Attorney at Law!I cannot recommend Samuel B. Dixon and his team highly enough! They recently assisted me with a speeding ticket case, and the results exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and proactive communication made the process seamless and stress-free.The team successfully negotiated with the district attorney to have my charge reduced to a city code violation—a non-moving violation that will not affect my driving record, license, or insurance rates. Additionally, the window tint violation associated with my case was dismissed entirely. I was traveling from Norfolk, VA to visit my family down in NC and thankfully they were able to settle the case without any issue.What stood out most was their dedication to protecting my best interests. They took the time to ensure I understood every step and delivered results swiftly. Thanks to Mr. Dixon’s advocacy, I’m free from the worry of long-term consequences or hidden surprises.If you’re seeking a knowledgeable, responsive, and results-driven legal team, look no further. Samuel B. Dixon, Attorney at Law, is truly in a league of their own. Five stars without hesitation!

Sam Dixon, and the staff at Dixon/Thompson were extremely pleasant and easy to work with. They routinely kept me informed of hearing dates and additional information pertaining to my case. Sam settled a very difficult case for me and my family and I wouldn't hesitate to retain him as my lawyer in the future. Basically, two charges with one dismissed and the other a small fine... Sam's my hero!

I had a pretty complicated case to resolve with 2 infractions (speeding offense and failure to heed to the warning lights) in my citation notice. Mr Sam Dixon personally talked to me to understand the situation and gather all the details. Post which he appeared in the court and resolved my case without any points on my license! I didn't even have to appear in the court. I would highly recommend their service for a smooth process, especially for complicated cases.

Got the ticket on 64 driving from the Outer Banks. They must have been in the air because the radar detector never said a word. Tyrell county's finest u-turned on me and cited me for 71 in a 55. Got home found Sam Dixon, sent him the ticket, the money and he took care of the rest. No points, no increased insurance. Got follow up emails. Great service. Hope I don't have to talk to him again!!

Dixon & Thomson Law reached out, along with a couple of other law firms, soon after my wife received a NC ticket for not moving over when passing a state trooper who had stopped someone. I also did some independent research, looking into other NC firms that could handle the case. The offer of representation by Mr. Sam Dixon was not the lowest cost, but after checking out all the options and speaking with all the attorneys, we decided to go with him. We’re so very glad we did, and in fact, based on case dismissal, our choice probably ended up costing less than the other options, while achieving the best possible outcome. I’ve worked with many lawyers, in business, and based on my research and speaking with Sam, my instinct was that he has the experience, reputation, know-how, and common sense to achieve the best possible outcome for any client he represents. I also appreciated the fact that he was very accessible, and always returned calls quite promptly. His assistant, Gray, was also highly professional, helpful and responsive. We also enjoyed taking the online defensive driving course. We highly recommend Mr. Dixon and his firm, and also want to publicly thank him for helping us resolve this matter.

Atty. Samuel B.Dixon is FANTASTIC. He took on my case, got a good grip on the situation, knew his mission, knew exactly how to execute an action plan and won my case by using all the tools in his toolbox. I didn't have to appear in court as was stated on my citation, but I appeared anyhow. I'm so glad I did so because it was very interesting to see how an outstanding attorney wins a case.Allan LoaneEdenton NC

I was awarded a ticket for speeding. I live many counties away. The firm was recommend by a local lawyer friend of mine. I’m glad he did. The firm could not have been more responsive, friendly and efficient. They kept me informed through the entire process via email, but if I did call their office for something, I spoke to a an actual person and they would return my call too. The price for the service was fair, considering what I would have had to “live with” concerning points on my license and insurance rates. IF YOU ARE IN A JAM, GIVE THEM A CALL!

Very Happy... Definitely recommend Dixon & Thompson.. Very professional, fast and with minimal conversation they are on it... On Sep 2nd; I got a Citation ticket in Camden County, driving 57 in 35 speed zone while returning from OBX. Ticket says to appear in court dated Nov 11th..On Sep 4th; I reached this firm through online contact form and they asked me to sign the waiver so that they can appear instead of me. I sent required documents in email.I was waiting for the court date to know the judgement. surprised to see email from the firm saying "Case is Resolved" before the court date (Oct 15th)....I am very satisfied with the service provided.
