Defense attorney

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!

Client

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.
