Daniel Loring Hodgkinson

I found Dan Hodgkinson on line, I liked his credentials. After speaking to Dan I retained him for my adult son's 3rd DUI. He explained the charges: felony DUI with prison time, could result. He kept me informed along the way. Dan is compassionate and caring, easy to talk with. He eased my anxiety ...as a worried mom. He got charges reduced from a felony to misdemeanor DUI. I am very grateful for his help. I highly recommend Dan.

Mr. Dan Hodgkinson represented me in regards to a very unique DUI case given the circumstances. Being a Service Member on Active Duty required that the case be handled carefully given that the ramifications of the case would affect my entire career. Throughout the process Mr. Hodgkinson acted ...in such a way that left me truly impressed. His level of professionalism was exceptional. He constantly kept me informed of the situation and worked hard to achieve the desired goals, All the while he helped keep me calm given the gravity of the situation. He always presented me with not only his legal advice, but also all the available options. He also made me feel as though he truly cares for each of his clients that he agrees to take on which made me feel only more comfortable with his representation. Being in the military, I felt he truly valued my service and accomplishments and understood what was on the line for me. He was also always straight-forward and eager to do everything he could to help me. I highly recommend Mr. Hodgkinson to anyone who seeks an informed, professional, and courteous attorney.

Let me start off by stating two facts. Number 1, I have never written a review for anyone or anything on the internet in my life and number two, if I could I would rate Daniel Hodgkinson far above 10. Let me tell you our story in short form. Our son of 35 years by accident got caught in the Lake C...ounty Criminal system. Although, he did not nothing wrong nor did he break the law he was in the legal machine as if he was guilty and charged with a Class A Misdemeanor. Having never been involved in the Criminal Court System, we did not know how to proceed. At that point, we a hired lawyer who proved to be confusing and not helpful at all. He told us, we needed to accept a conviction of some sort or start hiring expert witnesses for trial. We then searched for another lawyer and were very fortunate to find Daniel. When I called Daniel to set up an appointment, he spent nearly a half hour on the phone explaining the process and how things work. A few days later we (whole family) met with him. He listened to the facts and then proceeded to explain how he would proceed. We felt pretty good after that meeting. At the end of the meeting we retained him as our new Attorney of record. The next meeting (about two weeks later) and prior to a court appearance, he slowly and carefully walked us though every step of the process and how he was planning to procced. He was extremely careful, set our expectations correctly and he literally sat there and kept answering every question we had one by one. Over the next few days we had some additional questions and he returned our calls and patiently answered each every question. To make a long story short, he met with the ADA and reviewed the case. In the end, the ADA looking at the facts agreed this was not criminal issue and the Case was DISMISSED. Without Daniel‘s slow and thoughtful help we probably would not have a happy ending. We can’t thank him enough and he can use us for a reference any time. James
