There are no words to adequately describe the weight of the situation our family faced when our son, Skyler, was caught in a legal system he should have never been in to begin with. From the moment I first called the office of Bleile & Dawson, the trajectory of our lives changed. I spoke with Adam first and then he had Chelsea call me back,She didn’t just take a case; she took a stand for us. Skyler was facing serious charges that carried life-altering consequences, and the fear we felt was paralyzing. Chelsea was our anchor. She was available to us at any hour—literally. Even when I found myself texting her in the middle of the night with questions or concerns, she was there. She never let us feel alone in the dark. Chelsea meticulously walked us through every single step of the process, ensuring we weren't just observers in the room, but that we truly understood the strategy and our rights. She is more than just a brilliant legal mind; she is a fearless protector of her clients. If your family is in the fight of their lives, you want Chelsea and her team in your corner. They don’t just practice law—they deliver justice." We walked away with a Dismissed Case!! Thank you Chelsea for everything and thank you Adam for tagging along on the 3 hour drives for court . The Bates Family
Chelsea was amazing to work with. She kept in touch during the entire process, and was extremely professional. She got me out of a pickle with a speeding ticket. Exceptional experience, thank you.

I hired Chelsea Panzeca to fight an unlawful charge, but immediately felt she was pushing for a conviction instead of defending me. If you want to see the proof, you can look up my successful appeal against her in the public court records under Abdulhakov v. Panzeca (Case No. CA2025-07-050). The facts don’t lie. I gave her 5 witnesses and a video that proved the police report was untrustworthy. But instead of using my evidence, she completely ignored it. Then, I found out she was trying to set up court dates to make a plea deal without even talking to me first. After realizing she was not defending me, I had to fire her. I acted Pro Se and I was able to get my whole case dismissed with prejudice, the result that she avoided trying to achieve. After I fired her, I asked for my money back, but they refused and their communication became incredibly hostile when I mentioned taking further measures. I highly recommend finding a different lawyer who will actually fight for you, rather than one who prioritizes the easiest outcome for the system over your defense. UPDATE (June 2026): This is an update to my previous review. After the court officially reversed and remanded my case on appeal (Abdulhakov v. Panzeca, Case No. CA2025-07-050), I attempted to resolve the remaining dispute peacefully by offering mediation to her attorney, Adam Bleile. Instead of acting like a professional, Mr. Bleile became highly emotional, hostile, and resorted to personal insults outside the courthouse. Before this interaction, they filed a retaliatory Counterclaim against me in court. To try and intimidate me, their lawsuit consists of completely irrelevant personal histories, a criminal case that a judge already dismissed with prejudice, and screenshots of my confidential disciplinary grievance against them. Notably, they failed to attach a single invoice, timesheet, or proof of actual work performed to support their claim. Using public court filings to retaliate against a former client who exposed their performance on appeal is incredibly low-quality legal work. If you expect professionalism, transparency, and emotional control from your legal counsel, stay far away from this firm.
I cannot say enough great things about this firm. If you are accused of a serious crime, this is the firm to hire. Attorney Ashley Witte Dawson is an amazing attorney and her staff is remarkable. When the police showed up at my door on a Saturday night over a holiday weekend, both Ashley and her assistant, Jessica answered their phones immediately to diffuse the situation by speaking directly with the police to prevent my situation from getting worse. Ashley also continued to communicate with all necessary individuals late into the night and throughout the following days around the clock. Their 24/7 availability alone when an emergent situation arose was well worth every penny spent. When Ashley told me she’d be available when needed, it wasn’t just a sales pitch because as I quickly found out she really meant it. I highly recommend Bleile & Dawson.
If you or your child are being accused of serious allegations, do not wait to call Bleile & Dawson. Get them involved immediately! Never trust that the police, the court system or anyone else will do the right thing for you or your child. You need representation to wade the rocky waters of the court system before you talk to the police. We were very pleased and fortunate enough to work Chelsea and the firm early on to represent our family matters. They are rockstars, get straight to the point and don't mess around.
