This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Worst firm in the history of law

If you are hoping that your attorney will be in the same room with you for your court dates and trials, think again. They video call in, usually late. Then they do NOT put on their video and it makes it pretty awkward especially for me as his client. The last time the judge was yelling at m...e to get my attorney on the line.... If you want to win, first get a second opinion besides these guys. If you want to save money and go with a discount firm, they get you in with a low retainer but they charge you more then the big firms do by all their little tactics to get you to spend crazy amounts of money.

Bike versus car, car wins every time.

After a car failed to yield to the right of way and my fiancé (now wife) and I had the misfortune of attempting to occupy the same space as the misguided driver it was at that point we were in need of representation. Ben and his assistant, Kaci, were incredibly helpful in informing us of how to proce...ed with the best care with a detailed road map of what needed to happen from the legal side of things. Once the initial detailed forms were completed we were given the opportunity to heal in relative peace. The updates and constant professionalism alleviated additional stress that would have otherwise been our burden to carry against the vehicles owner’s insurance company. I don’t think there can ever be a full recovery from such incidents as there are so many intangible aspects of the accident that get glossed over. What was nice is that those aspects of the case were listened to and were incorporated as best as legally possible. I felt heard, I felt cared about, and I felt supported throughout the process. The amount of detailed information and direction from the beginning gave a tremendous amount of confidence moving forward. This made an unfortunate situation into the best possible scenario possible and for that I am extremely grateful to Ben and his team.

Personal injury

Consult on best how to handle a car vs bike accident. I was the bike. Ben and his staff spent the time to help me make the right decisions for my circumstances. Wasn’t sure what to do, and they helped me understand the options clearly.

Your best interest at heart.

Ben and his team took on my bike accident case and their perform was excellent. The process was very user friendly. Communication was great, they kept me informed at all times with any changes and updated regarding the case. Ben and his team delivered well above expectations results.

Hit by a drunk driver

Ben Dodge was extremely responsive after a traumatic experience. He and his office ensured we were getting the care needed and even helped connect us with a great network of professionals focused on the best recovery. Mr Dodge and his staff navigated the legal obstacles with ease as I was able to foc...us on my physical recovery. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.
