I hired Dod to represent me in a case that consisted of me being charged with theft (Target) I did self check out and there were several items in my basket that did not get scanned. They were missed in error because I was distracted. I had just realized that I did not have my wallet. I told the cust...omer service rep that I had scanned everything and that I was running out to my car to get my wallet and as I walked to the exit and pulled my cart over to the right side I was approached by two security guards pulling me in the back advising they were calling the police and they were charging me with the theft of every single item in my cart. The entire situation was so frustrating as you can see it was an obvious unfortunate situation. I learned my lesson never to use self check out ever again. Dod worked his magic and all charges were dropped. I would highly recommend Dod, as I have never met him in person however, he is amazing at his follow up and always keeps you in the loop. There wasn’t a time that I did not have answers or that I was waiting for him to follow up with me. Also, I was put in a VERY SERIOUS situation that fortunately, thankfully never came to pass. When I was faced with those concerns my immediate thought was to call Dod. He answers your questions, he shoots straight and listens to your input he tries to help you feel that your opinion counts. He charged a pretty penny but the man doesn’t disappoint and ultimately he gets the job done with favorable outcomes.

I believe there's a reason that Dod is the "best reviewed" criminal defense attorney on avvo.com. He's experienced, responsive, and genuinely empathetic -- the latter trait not found in all attorneys. I was falsely accused of a crime. I called Dod approximately 12 days prior to my arraignment da...te. During my free phone consultation, Dod offered to telephone the City Attorney's Office to learn if my case had ever been filed. He quickly called back to report, "I have good news. Your case is being dismissed." He seemed to be sincerely happy for me. Since my case was dismissed, I didn't need to hire Dod -- but if you do need help, you'd be wise to give Dod a call.

My experience with DODLAW: 8/2021 I found myself facing 5 felon charges and did not who I could trust with my case, let alone tell my side of the story to. I decided to not trust a public defender or skimp on paying a mediocre attorney that could ultimately change the rest of my life. After many d...ays of research, I decided DODLAW was the firm I wanted. Dod is high profile attorney that is no stranger being confronted by media, had 18 years experience and over 6500 criminal cases behind him. I called his office and was contacting directly from Dod on his personal secure line. Shortly after the call I met with Dod at his office. We discussed the charges and I gave him my side of the story. This was a huge relief. (If you are reading this, then chances are that you are doing research as I did before selecting an attorney) Dod explained in extreme detail of what to expect next and over the course of the case, how he takes his cases very personal, and that “Your life is literally in his hands”. After many prayers and some time the our arraignment date came. (This is your first formal meeting in court, what charges are against you, and how you intend plea to those charges) Dod, being the professional he is, got me release on the best case scenario “OR”. The judge could have chose: Jail with no bail, jail with a set bail amount, or released on Own Recognizance. The DA tried to mention attempted murder but the judge did not give it the time of day. This was the first win! My family, friends and I could not have been happier for the outcome. Next court date was mitigation. Basically, your attorney and DA try to come to an agreement on your case. This is where I saw Dod really outperform others in the court room. With my own eyes, I saw many of the other Attorneys I thought about hiring prior to the case just fall short of what I would call taking the case personal. The other attorneys to me just seemed to be “run of the mill”, did not aggressively build the cases they presented, and did not have the clout Dod did. Dod had told me from the beginning that the least amount of jail time is the goal. That way I will not be away from my family and not lose my job since I am a sole provider. Dod said, If agreed to the terms he presented me, I could possibly not serve jail time and keep job but it would ultimately be up to the judge at the sentencing date. The next court date was Sentencing which is the final step of the Preliminary Hearing. On 9/2022, we presented our case to the judge and I walked out of court with no jail time and retained my job to provide for my family. My loved ones, friends, and I could not have asked for a better outcome from the entire team at DODLAW. Dod is absolute professional! He has a unique very calming demeanor when you talk to him outside the court room and truly shines when in front of the judge. Dod’s passion and experience are impeccable. Ultimately, you get what you pay for. If your life ever brings you to court, do your research, you’ll know who to call…DODLAW. From my family to your entire team, Thank you Dod!

Dod is everything I could have hoped for in a defense lawyer who took care of business and helped me get the best possible outcome for my case. I appreciated his availability for any questions that I had along the way and his ability to communicate clearly about any and all matters present. Thank you... Dod for your time, service, and ability to make a stressful situation that much more tolerable.

I hired DOD after a terrible mishap on my part. Arrested for 2 counts of felony Child endangerment and DUI Over .2. DOD was very real with me up front about what could happen and reassured me EVERY single step of the way. When he had an update, I had an update. Not to mention being military I trans...ferred out of state during this time. I was supposed to stay put but he got a deal to where I could travel back and forth. I actually only had to travel once and all my counts got reduced to misdemeanors and I won't have to travel again. He will handle everything on his end. I can't put into words how grateful I am for him saving my career/personal life and I strongly recommend his services! He won't let you down!
