Gerrans Foster & Sargeant PA

Wonderful lawyer all the way around. Most lawyers you never even get to speak to directly...when I originally contacted this office it was Mr. Roy Dawson that contacted me himself. He is direct he is affordable he is what a lawyer should be and he has a wonderful polite paralegal as well. I would recommend this law office to anyone

Mr Dawson is a hands on Lawyer. I am from MD and I had to go to NC for a 2 day custody hearing. Mr. Dawson had a lot of patience with all the continuances that the other party was doing. He is very confident in all of his cases. He was very confident about my case and that I was going to win due to all the leg work that he and his staff has done. The information that was given to him, I highly recommend Mr. Dawson to anyone that is going through a nasty custody issue My case started in MD and then it was transferred to NC, it had many bumps along the road that I was able to get my son back.

Where do I begin… Last year in the summer time frame I was cited going 103mph in a 60mph zone. Yes, high speed, very unintelligent decision. Thank you. I luckily was only given a speeding ticket. I reached out to Mr. Dawson to represent me after seeing all of the 5 star reviews. He told me to rest assured that he would get my speed reduced to 16over if I took all of the necessary steps to prove to the court that I wasn’t going to continue driving recklessly. He specifically told me to take an 8 hour driving course that would add positive points to my record (the good kind where I’m from) so I happily obliged and took the course for a small fee. After completing the course, I sent all necessary paperwork to Mr. Dawson’s receptionist via email as instructed. I didn’t hear anything back confirming the correspondence and started to worry, but I reluctantly waited. Several days later I reached out again, and left Mr. Dawson a message telling him to confirm if he had all necessary information and documentation pertaining to my case. After a bit, he was able to do so. “Great! So what happened?” You might ask yourself. I had a court date, and without confirmation, he continued my case. He told me the reason was his lack of certainty that I would want to proceed given the charge of careless and reckless driving being the judge’s verdict. He said if I wanted to proceed, I needed to verify how that charge would affect me in my state of residence. I asked him why the charge wasn’t reduced to 16mph over like he adamantly assured me, and his voice became shaky. He said “well that’s what the judge wants to do and you know your speed was really high so this is actually a break.” I didn’t have any words. The person whose job it is to represent me not only didn’t ask the necessary questions before his case, but he shrugged off a much more serious verdict after assuring me it was a non-issue. No apology, no accountability. Being a professional, this rubbed me the wrong way, but he already had my money, and my time. Finding another attorney would be timely and costly. My next issue with Roy is that he continued my case again after pushing it back several months, and on that date, he called me briefly to let me know of his received verdict. He had months to try to lessen the verdict and work his magic, and did nothing to positively impact the case. Lesson is, don’t believe everything you hear about someone just because Google says so. Do your research, speak to the man/woman representing you, and do it in person. I don’t live in Kinston, NC so I was unaware of his practice and never met him in person, but I should’ve taken the time to meet him and vet him. As a veteran of the US military I expect a lot from people, and this was clearly a very unprofessional experience. I hope you don’t get caught speeding in Lenoir because your options for good legal representation is SLIM!!! Take care and best of luck.
