About Dylan
Dylan Hixson built his legal path through classrooms and courtrooms in New England. He studied philosophy at Westminster College, earning a B.A. in 2016, and moved on to Boston University School of Law, where he received his J.D. in 2019. Those years shaped the analytical habits he brings to case preparation and courtroom work.
He began his professional career immediately after law school as a civil litigation associate at Boyle | Shaughnessy Law in 2019. That role placed him on contested civil matters early on. In 2021 he joined Gay & Gay, P.C. as an associate lawyer, taking on a broader docket and more client-facing responsibilities. A year later he took a trial lawyer position at Sweeney Merrigan Law, LLP. The move reflected a steady shift toward trial practice and courtroom advocacy.
Hixson is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and holds a Notary Public commission from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. His résumé shows consecutive roles in civil litigation and trial settings, and he has worked in firms where litigation demands ranged from pretrial motion practice to trial preparation. He is known around colleagues for a methodical approach to fact development and for preparing cases with an eye to how they will appear in court.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in litigation strategy. He spends time on depositions and briefing, but he also prepares witnesses and exhibits for trial. His work has kept him primarily in state court matters. He has handled both defensive and affirmative civil claims while at successive firms. The variety of assignments has given him familiarity with the phases of litigation, from initial pleadings to trial-ready presentations.
Outside of docket work he maintains professional contacts in the Massachusetts legal community and holds current association memberships. That network supports trial team work and client intake. He lives and practices in Massachusetts and continues to take trial matters. He practices at Sweeney Merrigan Law, LLP, where his current practice concentrates on civil litigation and trial work in Massachusetts state courts.
