Bryan Dawson was a great help to me in settling a personal injury case. He was prompt, transparent, and professional. I really appreciated his honesty in what to expect and what the risks were with any decision I made. By following his expertise, I was able to settle my claim for almost double what I had expected and over 5x the amount I was previously offered. I would absolutely recommend Dawson Law Firm to family and friends. Thanks!
My experience was excellent working with Bryan. I was very worried about my situation and sent an email. In a very short time Bryan called me, listened to my situation with nothing but professionalism. Explained simply to me the law and all the sinceraios I needed to understand. Immediately calming my worries. Feeling comfortable right away I called the right person.
Bryan Dawson and his team are great to work with. Bryan is very knowledgeable and helped me on a really complicated claim involving 2 different accidents. I would have never been able to accomplish anywhere close to what they did, while dealing with frustrating insurance companies and their attorneys. I would highly recommend Dawson Law Group for any claims involving auto accidents and/or injuries.
I was represented by this firm several years ago in a lengthy and complicated lawsuit. I found all the personnel to be professional, human, and very knowledgeable. When I had questions they were answered with language I understood. I was supported and consulted every step of the way.
Bryan Dawson is extremely easy to work with! His communication is professional yet friendly and very timely! He was a great partner and supporter while I pursued a personal injury claim. The claim results were positive. I would HIGHLY recommend him! If I ever had a future need Bryan would be my first call!
