His experience really shows!!!

My husband's claim was closed by another attorney before I came with Jame Dodge. James did everything he could to help on my husband's claim. Even though there was no compensation, Mr. Dodge showed us that he cared and it wasn't about the money. Mr. Dodge explained how everything was closed, somethin...g that the other attorney did not do very well.

Workers comp claim

Wouldn't have ever got any money for my case. He closed it and cut me a check for 8000 less his fee. I was surprised and this couldn't have happened at a better time. The whole process was very fast and professional

Down to earth, honest attorney

James Dodge and Associates were great at handling my case. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to be on my team. James Dodge was very knowledgeable about the rules and guidelines of my case and even helped me understand it more myself. I believe he and his associates did all they could for me... and my case, to get me the settlement that I deserved. I was and still am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I feel like James Dodge is a down to earth, honest attorney and will help you and your case any way he could. I would definitely recommend any and all people requiring an attorney to James Dodge and Associates.

Excellent Attorney for Workman's Comp

He went to bat for us when my husband was hurt on the job. Thanks to Mr. Dodge, we were able to get the medical attention and then some that my husband needed. Mr. Dodge didnt back down, and brought in other colleagues to assist when they employer tried to pull their big guns out. James Dodge is a l...egal pit-bull you want on your side.
