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.

Great Handling of Employment Termination and Tail Coverage issue

My employer had closed his practice mid-year without paying me my outstanding wages. He also did not want to pay any part for my tail coverage as the contract was not very clear about the issue. I was having a really difficult time getting these issues resolved with him on my own. But things turned a...round once I hired Attorney Dodd to help me resolve my case. Attorney Dodd negotiated a favorable settlement for me with my former employer based on his diligent analysis of my claims in collaboration with me, sparing me the expense and delay of litigation. I strongly recommend him to any doctor negotiating an employment agreement with a practice group, either during hiring or after departure.

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!

Immigration Divorce

Attorney Dodd quickly grasped the immigration issues that were essential to settling my divorce case expeditiously, rather than running up litigation costs. He coordinated with myself, family members and my immigration counsel to negotiate a strong settlement without alienating opposing counsel. I’m ...grateful for his diligent time, effort, and attention to the details, and for keeping us informed throughout the entire process.

Excellent child custody lawyer

Mr.Dodd is an expert lawyer when it comes to family law. I had been going through the worst divorce and child custody battle before I found him. I had a very difficult case to begin with since I was transferring the case over from another state and there had been clerical errors that needed to be f...ixed, but he found a way to right everything in order to continue in filing a case against my ex-husband. Mr. Dodd fought very hard for my case and showed an outstanding amount of knowledge during our testimony. When I first hired him I had very little hopes of getting sole custody of my child, but through a series of events that helped my case and Mr. Dodd's quick actions against those events, he was able to get me everything I wanted and more. I've talked to other attorneys and none of them believed that I could've won my case, but with the help from Mr. Dodd I did. My life is changing for the better now thanks to the trial results from Mr. Dodd. If I ever to hire a lawyer again, he would be my number one choice.
