Great attorney, genuine person

Mr. Ogden provides a great service and has reasonable pricing. He is very passionate, but he does not take himself too seriously. While researching his background, I was surprised to read in the Lansing State Journal that he dresses up in a costume at football games. That originally made me pause, bu...t I think that is part of his charm and makes him more relatable to people like me who can be intimated by lawyers. I can tell he is well-educated, will fight to make things right, and is genuine. I highly recommend him.
