I was referred to another attorney initially to help with what I understood was a fairly simple legal matter to address. Unfortunately, the previous attorney disappeared after receiving payment not understanding where the legal matter concluded. I contacted Daniel Dodson's office and at first, it did take a few attempts to get a response from Nancy in his office. Once active communication was established, Nancy and Dan were able to provide quick guidance to resolve the issue.
Without hesitation, if there are future needs for legal assistance, my first contact will be to Dan's office as they were very helpful in helping to resolve the case. As a bonus, they also helped direct me to resolving my issue with the previous attorney.
I strongly recommend anyone in need of legal assistance to work with Dan's office.
Dan Dodson is an excellent attorney. He will tell you when to talk and when to be quiet. Just do it. Hes a smart and honest person. Best lawyer in Missouri in my book. Price is moderate. Worth every penny. Thank you! Id not hesitate to recommend Dan and his staff to anyone. Suzanne

Perfessionalism
Mr. Dodson has handled two of my cases with the utmost professionalism. He's on the ball. I never had to wonder about anything. He always kept me well informed and we won both cases. I would definitely recommend their law firm if anyone is ever in need of an attorney. Thanks again.

excellent attorney
I hired Daniel Dodson he had all charges dropped without even going to court, he did an amazing job, I have nothing but confidence in this lawyer. Another attorney who charged me a set amount to represent me and then he drug it on for over 8 months and then set it for trial and then told me i would have to pay him an insane amount before he would finish the job in court and that wasn't even what it was going to cost for trial, wouldn't even talk to me until i paid in full, so i hired Daniel Dodson, he had all charges dropped.

Great outcome ... little hassles
Dan did a great job on a case for a family member of mine. He took care of all the details and we only had to meet with him in his office once. No court appearances were required on our part. The outcome was positive. I would use Dan again!

I'm from out of state with a drug case. Dan Dodson was very reasonable and saved me a lot of time and money by showing up to my court dates . He got me probation & i couldnt be happier with all that he did. I would highly recommend him as a criminal defense lawyer.

Excellent Lawyer
Mr. Dodson is a wonderful lawyer. Today in court I got all charges dropped I got SSI which is supervision by the judge. So if I do not have any encounters with law enforcement for two years my charges will not be on CaseNet. Love this man he is awesome!

Very kind and compassionate guy. Mr Dodson took the time to talk to my son and I regarding a situation we needed advice on. Very down to earth and straight forward. I will keep his number on my speed dial!

Dan was wonderful in setting my mind at ease!
Dan was very polite and respectful throughout our entire consultation. He reassured me that I have no reason to stress myself or worry over my situation. I was making myself physically sick from all the stress even though I was the victim and being threatened. He took all my stress from the situation by breaking down the entire situation and explaining anything I needed to know. I would completely recommend Dan to anyone and everyone that is in need of any legal help. I had been advised by a different attorney before Dan and the other lawyer told me that "I" was in huge trouble and "I" the victim had to prove my innocence, even when the police already had all that information that they needed. The 1st attorney was telling me that it was going to cost several thousands of dollars to just to represent me even though the evidence was already there. I felt as if a 2nd opinion was needed and that is when I contacted Dan. He answered immediately and the consultation was set up quickly. He listened to all that I had to say about the situation and he never showed any disrespect. I would recommend him to anyone for any situation, I was very impressed with his manner and knowledge of the situation and finally I can sleep peacefully as an innocent citizen again. Thanks so much for just your time talking to me and reassuring me again!

Dan really gave me a fresh start on life. I was in a really tight jam and didn't know what direction I was heading in. I gave him a call and he actually listened and heard me out. He gave me a fair quote and assured that I could trust him. Immediately when he received his compensation, he got right to work. I had an active warrant and within a few days it was eliminated. He worked so hard on my case and eventually got it dismissed. Keep in mind I never had to attend a court date and I was working with him from Chicago. I wouldn't have ever imagined how trust worthy he was. He got me my life back.

Best attorney in Missouri!
Dan is honest, trustworthy, straight forward, and has obvious experience in the court room. He has a very calm presence and I always felt safe in court with Dan at my side; he always had my back. He took my case with confidence, worked hard to put together our argument and after two years he (we) won my case. I highly recommend Dan for any drug related charge. He even provided additional support for me, a year later, when I needed documentation for college admissions. He's a winner!
