This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Outstanding care

One of our relatives had a speeding ticket and obviously we consulted with four lawyers. Mr. Hodnet really exceeded our expectations. Taking ownership of the case and spending much of his time on the phone on two occasions studying the details of this case more than expected. His integrity, professio...nalism and experience is evident, in addition to his focus on his client, without focusing on his own monetary interest, helped us to resolve the case positively. We recommend Mr. Hodnet, if you want more than an attorney, a friend who truly cares for his clients. We will hire him if we need him.

Criminal Defense

I hired Mr. Hodnett on two different occasions, and on each case he went above and beyond normal representation. The first time approximately 10 yrs. ago, I was facing a life sentence, under the Habitual Offender Act, for drug charges. Mr. Hodnett managed to negotiate a sentence to a rehabilitation... center with several yrs. probation/Community Corrections after. The most recent time. Mr. Hodnett represented me (Nov. 2015) I had gotten two new cases while on probation/Community Corrections (color code) for a dirty urine and was facing 13 yrs. Mr. Hodnett amazingly got the charges dismissed as well as having me completely released from the remainder of my time on probation an Community Corrections. I am now completely off all programs and papers and I owe my freedom to Mr. Hodnett for his excellent work as my attorney. I highly recommend him for any criminal case you may have. I assure you that you will not be dissapointed.
