When her husband was killed in a New Jersey traffic accident last January, Willingboro, N.J., resident Jacquelyn Dixon’s life was dramatically altered. Her husband, Johnnie, 61, died when a tractor-trailer pulled in front of his car as he was driving to his job as a research chemist. The father of their six children, Johnnie was also a minister for the Kingdom Living Ministries. After the accident, a friend suggested she call attorney Dean I. Weitzman to represent her in her husband’s death. What she found, she said, was a caring advocate for her family. “Dean called me and came to the house to meet with me and my son,” Mrs. Dixon said. “He’s just been taking care of me since then. He makes sure that my daughter and I continue our lifestyle since my husband was killed. His first concern was that we had money coming into our household. He’s done that. He had everybody in the office working on my case. Everyone in the office knew my name.” “I feel like he took this case very personally and he did whatever he could to ensure that my daughter and I were taken care of,” she said. “I trust him and he’s done a great job.” “My life was turned upside down when my husband died and it’s been a very difficult process. I hurt every day.”
