Very helpful and level-headed

I appreciated Rick’s advice and persistence in persuading my wife to negotiate an uncontested divorce. I had previously failed to respond to my wife’s divorce complaint which the court dismissed, largely because we couldn’t agree who would accept responsibility for accumulated debt for an automobile ...that she exclusively drove – until she left it (and accumulated traffic citations) in my driveway when she left Maryland! Rick filed suit on my behalf and negotiated directly with my wife (who was unrepresented), eventually gaining her trust and acquiescence to assign ownership of the vehicle to me. This was a very stressful time in my life but Rick’s coaching was comforting. I'm grateful for his guidance and legal counsel.

Excellent, pro-active attorney

I retained Mr. Dodd to review my ongoing family-law case and to advise me on the best approach forward. My case was a complex issue that involved judgment from a different state that needed to be enforced in my current state. It was further complicated by the County jurisdictions and the strange requ...irements that go with it. I was impressed by how quickly he came up to speed and engaged with the ongoing matter. And then he provided me with honest advice on what my options were. He engaged with the attorneys in the ongoing case and dealt with all the issues I brought to him. I am glad to have consulted him and shall do so again if my legal situation called for it.
