Doing (Next To) The Impossible

I thoroughly recommend the legal services of Richard (Rick) Dodd. I found Rick through a couple of referrals. I was seeking to end a long, unhappy (same sex) relationship. As there was never a marriage (and no conventional law that applied but for a partnership agreement), Rick was able to negotia...te a settlement for me that, frankly, I was not thinking could actually happen. But he persevered, looked at all the options, and steered me to salvation. We had a terrific working relationship and I felt I was his only client - a good feeling.

Highly recommend

I was very lucky to have been referred to Mr. Dodd to help with my separation/divorce agreement. He has been incredibly responsive, understanding and patient, listening intently to the circumstances in my family's case. The agreement he drafted was thorough, worked for my family's situation and I f...elt well represented. I would highly recommend Mr. Dodd to anyone going through these challenging times.

Assertive Lawyer

Mr. Dodd joined my legal team during the Discovery process. He was helpful in sorting out the required documents needed to fulfill the requested documentation by the opposing council. Thereafter, he took the lead during the deposition of my husband and played a big role in securing a better settlemen...t decision in my favor. His quiet yet assertive manner and using his combined knowledge of law and business was beneficial in my case. I would recommend him to others who may have to deal with the painful experience of a divorce.

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.

Thank you Rick Dodd!

Over a period of 18 months Attorney Dodd represented me in separate custody and property trials, showing compassion, resilience and courage. He encouraged me to assert my rights and won shared custody of my daughter at the custody trial. He litigated aggressively to obtain a court order that my ex-hu...sband list our jointly owned house for sale, freeing up my equity so I could move on with my life. He also pressed aggressively in post-trial proceedings to obtain an order securing my 50% interest in my ex-husband’s pension to overcome delays by my ex-husband’s attorney. I wouldn’t hesitate to engage him as my attorney in the future, and highly recommend him. I feel very fortunate to have had Mr. Dodd represent me. It was a total blessing!
