The law firm of Dixon & Johnston, P.C. handles legal matters in the following practice areas:

- Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Family law
Consumer bankruptcy
The stress can be overwhelming when you are inundated with phone calls from harassing creditors. Bankruptcy is a tool that can be used to stop foreclosures and save your home. You can even stop repossession and retain your vehicle.
The “new” bankruptcy laws are now about three years old, yet common misconceptions about the law still prevail:
- Many people believe they can no longer file bankruptcy. In fact, most people can file under the Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy laws.
- Most people assume that if they do file bankruptcy, they will lose all money and possessions. In fact, most people lose very little, if they even lose anything at all.
It is important to understand how Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy could help you. This is why it is so important to contact a firm that knows the details of bankruptcy law.
At Dixon & Johnston, P.C., our bankruptcy practice is limited to Southern Illinois, concentrating primarily on the counties of St. Clair, Madison, Monroe, and Clinton.

Family law
When going through a divorce, child support, paternity, or related family law proceeding, do not count on advice from friends and relatives. Everyone’s situation is different, and the courts will handle two seemingly similar situations in different ways. You must talk to a lawyer who fully understands your rights and can guide you through the process.
