You need a lawyer you go straight to Dan! He will make sure you come out on top!!! He represented me in 2 different cases & he did his job well done on both! Even got my court costs down to $100 on one case & only got supervision on that case (which is amazing) & the other case got dismissed all toge...

There really is no words to explain what an exceptional lawyer Dan is. Little history on my story/experience with Dan; I was dealing with a case with a different lawyer that did an awful job. I then came into probation violation and it was a very complicated case where I had technically 4 violations....

I highly recommend Dan. He recently helped me with two separate matters and we had a successful outcome on both. Dan and Steve (his law partner) worked together and did a great job at keeping me informed throughout the process. The prices were very reasonable. I hope I don't ever need them again b...

"Dan is the BEST of the BEST". He got us the BEST POSSIBLE Outcome. Working with Dan was awesome. Without going into specifics, I would like to say just one sentence. "Dan is the BEST of the BEST". Do not take my word on this internet, just go and meet him once and you will see for yourself. Dan know...

From the consultation until my final court date, Dan was in my corner 100% and did everything he could for the best possible outcome. Upon taking my case he explained exactly what his plan of action would be and what he required from me in order to do it. If I had any questions along the way Dan woul...
"I have been practicing law in Lake County for more than twenty years. I know Daniel because he is highly involved in our Lake County legal community. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and knows his way around the courtroom. He is smart and works hard for his clients. I have referred several of my clients to Daniel and they have all been extremely satisfied with the representation he provided. Daniel is well-respected in our legal community and I highly recommend him."
"Dan is a bright, intelligent, hard working young lawyer. He is honest and ethical. Dan also has a great attitude combined with a great personality. He is willing to work hard on behalf of his clients. I endorse him wholeheartedly."
"Obviously, I endorse Dan Hodgkinson who has worked with me for the past two years. I brought Danny into my office because he was a star in the State's Attorney's office where he worked for several years. No other attorney in that office sought out trial work and did the tough cases the way Danny did. He tried many DUI, Felony, and Misdemeanor jury trials with incredible ability. It was an easy decision to hire Danny when I was looking for someone who could serve my clients with the quality of representation that I've always tried to give them. Since he has worked with me, I've been incredibly impressed with his abilities. He has successfully handled large scale white collar crime cases, DUIs, Domestic Battery charges -- just about everything. He is deeply involved in the defense of several sex cases, juvenile cases, and a First Degree Murder. Clearly he is the best."
"I worked with Mr. Hodgkinson for several years while we were both prosecutors in the Lake County State's Attorney's Office. He is tough, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. I endorse this attorney."
