Posted by Jessika | June 14, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Superior Service

I was recently in a Legal dispute where I had little power on my own to get things resolved. I was referred by several trusted colleagues to reach out to Kennedy Hodges and I couldn’t be more relieved that I did. Kennedy Hodges was there from start to finish keeping me informed on my case and givin...g me peace of mind. I’m happy to say our case was a huge success to all involved! I will gladly refer any persons reading this review right now, who’s considering using their Firm, because in my personal experience they were exceptional. I also want to give special acknowledgement to Marta Ponce who was in constant correspondence with my family and was very responsive in answering any of my family’s questions. Thank you, Kennedy Hodges, you have me as a client for life.

Awesome Personal Injury Law Firm

This law firm is the best. They worked quickly to settle my medical malpractice claim and I am thrilled.

Posted by anonymous | April 06, 2009

Excellent Attorneys!

I chose this firm because they are board certified attorneys. They were very responsive to my needs and did an excellent job. The expenses in my case were kept to a minimum and I am confident I received more in my pocket than I would have with any other attorney. The previous reviewer obviously ha...s an axe to grind as that was not the experience I or my family had. I have reviewed several friends/family and they have all given very favorable reviews.

Personal injury lawyer | May 20

Relationship: Co-worker

"I’ve known David since our days in law school back in 1993. Even then it was clear David had a drive to win that would serve his future clients well in the courtroom. From the first day a client hires David, he keeps in mind how every piece of evidence will be perceived by the jury. This focus helps develop case theories which in turn give purpose and meaning to every deposition, interrogatory, motion filed with the court and every other action he takes on a case. His 2010 verdicts, which were among the highest in the state of Texas for that year, attest to the effectiveness of his approach. In brief, David is one of the most outstanding attorneys in Texas."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
