  Mr. Dawson represented a young man involved in a double homicide in Virginia Beach in 2018. This tragic event claimed the lives of two innocent men. The case involved four individuals, three of whom were released shortly after preliminary hearings, while Mr. Dawson's client, the shooter, remained incarcerated. He later received a notably lenient sentence. Since his release, this individual has been openly bragging about the case on social media, which raises questions about the morality of defending someone responsible for taking two innocent lives. #JusticeForMatthew #JusticeforMichael

  Mr. Dawson should get disbarred. We hired him to help a loved one that was getting railroaded by the courts. Mr. Dawson charged $5,000 and has done nothing to help and won’t even talk to his client. Mr. Dawson has been holding hearings with the court without his clients expressed request to be present and lying that the hearings didn’t occur. When asked about what transpired during the hearings he has his assist state “it is all in court of records”. He won’t return emails or calls. DO NOT USE MR. DAWSON.

  If you are in search of needing an attorney to defend you in court, look no further. Mr. Dawson has provided exceptional defense for me on multiple occasions. He has gone as far as traveling to northern Virginia to represent me. He is able to provide an insightful strategy, while adequately preparing you to have the best legal defense in court. He will fight for you to have the most the favorable outcome, given the circumstances of the case. For example, he successfully defended a possession charge to which I was found not guilty and had the case dismissed. On another occasion, I was charged reckless 95+mph. Both charges were misdemeanor offenses with possible jail time. And through technicalities that would’ve easily been overlooked by an attorney that isn’t thorough, we won in court. His litigation skills are exceptional to none. He is a well seasoned veteran with knowledgeable experience. A heavy hitter in the courtroom. His office staff are great to deal with as well. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of defense or legal counseling.
