Amazing Outcome

I was facing criminal charges to say the least would have destroyed my life. I was accused of a crime that faced heavy penalties and prison time and I also was taking on a child custody battle. I called the office a little scared not knowing what to do. Mark and his team got me in the office right a...way and I retained them that same hour even after I spoke to another office I felt like Mark was a better fit for me. Mark was very impressive at trial and in the office, I felt that he really cared about my case. Mark and his team were amazing from start to finish. I am thankful every day for what Mark , Aaron and everyone in their office have done for me and my family and strongly recommend them to anyone in need of help in any of these matters they are great criminal and family law attorneys. I feel they did more for me then you can put a price tag on, they got me my life back, my kids back from out of state, and got me living my life again back in my home. They got all charges dropped by the state and got me back full custody of my two children. It was an amazing outcome u could almost say it was a miricle but I think it had a lot to do with all of Marks, Aaron's and Peggy's hard work and everyone else in their office that was involved in my case. Thanks again Mark.

Communication is key.

I was trying to modify a parenting plan when my ex husband reappeared after 4 years of nothing. I kept hearing the court say "it's your word against his." I was way over my head. After seeing Mark represent another client in court, I called for a consult. Yes the money plays in, this is his business.... They actually worked hard to help me keep cost down, knowing our situation. His paralegal can be very blunt and come across as abrasive, but so is the legal system. As long as I communicated when there was a misunderstanding, everything went well. She saw the reality of the person I was dealing with and responded appropriately. I like her pit-bull attitude, it is what was needed. Mark was always honest with me and made it clear what his plan was when I was confused and felt he was being too nice to him. He never belittled me like other reviewers said they felt. The outcome was better than I hoped for and I will definitely use them again if/when I need them. Thank you all for being our "go between."

A lawyer with integrity

I thought I would never have to hire a lawyer for anything until I found myself needing one. The family law system can be overwhelming, especially when you are representing yourself and your soon-to-be ex and the other attorney is taking you to court time and time again and no one seems to be listeni...ng to your side. Mark Hodgson not only made me feel very confident that I was in good hands, he clearly demonstrated in court his superior grasp of family law matters and was adept at countering the sneaky tactics that other attorney tried to pull in court. As a bonus, Mark is very easy to talk to and he was a tremendous help when I was a nervous wreck. Both of his assistants were very helpful whenever I called with questions, even if I called several times in one day! I hope I never need another attorney again but if I do I'm going to call Mark Hodgson immediately. I highly recommend him!

I highly recomend this firm!

I hired this office to help me with my family law/child custody case. Mark was professional and easy to work with. He really cared about my case and fought hard for me. I felt like i was important to him and that my case really mattered. He was clear with me that he could not guarantee results bu...t my case turned out GREAT! I was impressed on how fair I was billed. I have had attorneys in the past who did not seem to care about my case. I was just number and a paycheck to them. Mark and his staff always paid attention, returned my calls quickly, and treated me fairly. I highly recommend this law firm.
