Mark will go to war for your rights!!!

Mark is a rottweiler in the courtroom! His representation was just what was required when my b**** of a former wife tried to clean me out. I earned that money and Mark fought to help me keep it. Fantastic attorney, knows the law and is tenacious in his representation.

A GREAT FIRM!

I hired Mark Hodgson for a divorce in Spokane. He was open, friendly, and gave me great advice and counsel. Mark was honest with me about my case and worked hard to resolve all of my issues quickly. He responded to my phone calls and questions every time. He was WONDERFUL in my hearing and got me... alimony, child support, and the parenting plan that my children needed. I had two other lawyers before Mark and he is far superior to my previous counsel. He fought hard for me and he knew the law. I would and will recommend him to everyone that i know.

Aggressive, Honest, Reasonable Fees, Excellent Lawyer

I graduated from a top ten Law School and have some understanding of what it means to hire a good lawyer. I needed representation in a difficult custody battle with my ex. After searching for months for the right lawyer, I was relieved to find Mark Hodgson. Mr Hodgson has been a superb attorney. H...e is ethical in his practices, his fees are very reasonable, and he is effective in court. To the complete frustration of my ex who has spent thousands filing ridiculous and malicious law suits against me this last year, Mr. Hodgson has successfully and repeatedly prevailed against one of the biggest Law firms in town and has really helped me resolve some difficult challenges. I would not hesitate to recommend him. This is an attorney that will do everything he can to help you get things right and will stand by you when you need help.

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.

Efficient fast & friendly

These situations are never easy. Deciding to get a lawyer then choosing one was a very hard decision. I spoke to a few people that have been thru divorce and Mark’s name came up more than once. I went and met with him, his business partners and Casey his assistant. They were all friendly, professiona...l and most importantly for me nonjudgmental. He is very educated on divorce with children and keeps in mind what is best for the kids! He answered my questions and didn’t make me feel belittled as other lawyers did. Thank you Mark Hodgson and team you are all very appreciated!
