My lawyer for Life

CONFIDENCE in an attorney is critical to successfully presenting a case, thus, how did Jeremiah Hodges earn my confidence? On my first of three occasions of working with Mr. Hodges several significant characteristics were apparent: 1. his sincerity expressed via thoroughness of his inquiries regardin...g details of my knowledge / viewpoints of the specifics of my case, 2. layout of his process and timelines for identifying appropriate data from multiple sources; hospital, eye witnesses, defendants personal job history/background and case history, defendant's employer history of its involvement in similar cases, 3. Research of Alabama case law specific to my case to include review of that law with me followed by discussions of alternative strategic approaches to development of my case, 4. his recommendation supported by what I judged to be sound rationale for a specific approach indicated a thoroughness in thinking-through the dynamics of my case, 5. his development of a tactical step-wise process of educating me regarding expectations of the defense attorney's tactics; intimidation, pregnant-pauses during deposition phase questioning designed to elicit rash defensive responses from me which may provide advantage to the defendant, instruction to me regarding timing of my responses to ensure my countenance appeared truthful, confident and in-control. INTEGRITY; this word has a significant meaning for me; it defines a character trait which I have admired and have attempted to replicate in my life. During our first meeting, Jeremiah highlighted to me that his practice of law in this specific geographical area was a life-long pursuit for him...and that he intended to demonstrate himself as a man of integrity. Such a reputation is earned over time and for Jeremiah, professionally it must be earned within the complex legal arena; the judicial system, professional peers / organizations and with clients. The fact that he broached this subject indicated he was a man seriously pursuing the ideal of a life of integrity; Jeremiah's position on the matter is a major reason he is my attorney for life. There is no good substitute for AVAILIBILITY when a client perceives an urgent need for immediate discussion with his attorney. Jeremiah Hodges never failed to answer my calls within a reasonable time frame even when he was out of town. His demonstrated dependability increased with every occurrence of an impromptu or a previously scheduled meeting. Jeremiah was attentive to my concerns, never impatient, and always provided advice that was understandable to me. COMMUNICATION: It is important for a client to understand what the attorney is attempting to share. Effective two-way communication cannot occur if concepts and language being shared is not understandable to the client. On numerous occasions Jeremiah has sensed the need to explain to me in "normal" language certain legal terms and concepts. His willingness and ability to educate and inform me is a task at which I know Jeremiah excels. We communicate well, he does not "talk over my head" and this is another key reason that Jeremiah will be my attorney for life. Jeremiah Hodges has represented me on several types of cases; all outcomes have been successful.
