I highly recommend The Dixon Law Firm. Alicia Dixon represented me in my divorce case. My initial consultation was over the phone and within a few moments I knew she was the right attorney to represent me. Unfortunately my case ended up going to trial due to my husband's actions however Mrs. Dixon was amazing! I know as a result of her diligence the outcome of my divorce will be a good one. Thank you Mrs Dixon for everything!
