Providing representation to clients throughout Bastrop County and all over the State of Texas, he assists people who have been charged by the state with misdemeanor or felony offenses.

In addition to his driving while intoxicated practice, Mr. Dillon's criminal defense experience has encompassed marihuana and other drug possession cases as well as assault.

He pursued his undergraduate studies at Baylor University in Waco, and he received a bachelor’s degree in business administration in accounting in 1994. After obtaining a Master of Business Administration from what was then known as Southwest Texas State University in 1996, he pursued a longstanding dream of becoming a lawyer by enrolling at St. Mary's University School of Law, and he was awarded his Juris Doctor in 1999.
