I would just like to say that Attorney Dawson is amazing! My husband and I had to undergo an unneeded child support hearing that was imposed upon by his x-wife. Attorney Dawson is and was incredible. She is professional, classy, well-prepared and truly knew what she was doing! She made a very stressful situation so bearable. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney for family court services!

Working with Lynn has been extremely successful and insightful. Lynn always understood the various situations we encountered and was very prepared. I say “we” as I never felt as if I was alone going through the 3 different types of cases at the same time. Lynn being very communicative and strategic assured me that I hired the right lawyer. Good not be any more satisfied.

Lynn assisted and represented me in a serious motor vehicle matter and was able to get me to exactly what I sought and did so in a professional as well as a genuine manner. I would recommend her to anyone seeking excellent representation at a very fair fee structure.

Lynn Dawson came in on an existing case, reviewed the case, and made remarkable strides in getting the case on track. She argued admirably, confirming all testimony. Plaintiff was asking for complete custody, i,the defendant wanted the existing order. Through thorough testimony and argument, she was able to have the custody order stay at original order. Outstanding work..

Attorney Dawson helped me understand my case the way the court sees it. It was my first experience. She patiently guided me thru the process, stood by me with fair advice, answered any correspondence in a timely matter. She was being simply human and provided help where I needed it in a professional manner.

Mrs Dawson represented with a criminal case. She was wonderful in every way! I was so happy after this was all over that I used her to represent me. She is smart and knows the law very well. My case was dismissed. Mrs Dawson was great in the court room (even though it wasn't a court she visited very often). I would use her again without even a second thought if ever needed in the future!Do not hesitate for a second to use Mrs Dawson to represent you in court!

Attorney Lynn Dawson represented me recently in some legal matters I had, including a DUI that should never have been charged, and 2 misdemeanor charges. She represented me very competently and professionally throughout, which consisted of an initial consultation, and 3 court appearances until the matters were resolved to my satisfaction. Her price was fair, and she took care of matters that would have been hard, or impossible, for me to take care of if I attempted to handle my own case. She answered any questions I had promptly, and gave excellent legal advice. I recommend her strongly.
