The Personal Difference

I was referred to Mark Dodge, from local experts in the field of criminal investigation. I was facing an immanent felony charge, and the sheer thought of serving time in prison and losing my family was more than I could comprehend! I needed the personal consultation of an experienced attorney to guid...e me through the intimidating process of standing against the detective and prosecutor. Within three hours of meeting Mark and David Dodge, they had arranged a meeting with the detective involved. They were courteous, respectful, and maintained a "gentle aggression" in the pursuit of the truth. Mark Dodge listened, without interruption, and took detailed notes. He knew which questions to ask, and helped me to think thoroughly through each layer of the allegations. He drafted an articulate response, and sought out to eliminate the charges before they could ever be filed. Two weeks later, David Dodge met again with the Criminal Detective, and was able to defend me from the allegations - from every angle. I will never forget the moment I received a text message from Mark Dodge: "Call me. Good news!" The detective had consulted with the prosecutor, and the decision had been made to not pursue any charges! I am grateful for the inexplicable experience, comprehensive mastery, and impeccable reputation of David and Mark Dodge. I can hold my head high in this community, thanks to the hard work and dedication of my attorney(s).

Best Attorney in Grand Rapids

Facing criminal charges can be a scary thing. When I found myself in that predicament, I contacted Dodge and Dodge. Mark did a great job of helping me understand the process step by step and really helped put my mind at ease. He fought tooth and nail to make sure that I recieved the best outcome to m...y case, which I did. I could not be happier with how things turned out. Mark is very professional and personable and if I should ever find myself in such a position in the future, I would consider no one but Dodge and Dodge to represent me. They are great people who are truly great at what they do. I would highly recommend Mark Dodge to anyone who needs top notch legal counsel.

Knowledgeable, Proffesional with Consistent Communication

Although I found myself in a bad situation, Mark Dodge helped me get through it. I found his expertise, knowledge and communication style extremely helpful. I always knew where we were in the process and what the next steps were. He was able to get my full driving privileges restored much earlier tha...n anticipated and although I am still on probation is helping me to secure an early release from that obligation. I would wholeheartedly recommend him.
