Honest lawyer

When I was looking for an attorney for my divorce I was recommended by another attorney to use Mark. That was back in 2012 and the became more of a family than just an attorney. He fought battles that I was even unsure would be worth it. He was always positive and was honest about anything I wanted t...o add or say. I went through a nasty divorce that lasted 4 years and having him to stand up in court was the best decision I made. I then later went back and used him again to help with child support and he was amazing. He is an attorney you can talk to about anything even payment arrangements. I would continue to recommend him for everything and know that I will continue to use him for anything that requires a lawyer!

Excellent!

Mark was informative and helpful throughout the process. He always returned my calls and emails promptly. He made sure things were done correctly and efficiently and did not waste my time or overcharge me. He knows how to get to the heart of the matter. I also felt he treated my ex with respect. ... His staff was kind and professional, especially Rosalind his paralegal that was involved. Mark has a toughness and expertise combined with empathy that make me want to tell you that he is an excellent choice to represent you.

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!

Mark is more than just a great Lawyer, he is a trusted adviser and an honest man

When my ex-husband ruined my life by cheating on me with my sister, I was devastated. The prospect of losing my life partner and raising two little children on my own was daunting to say the least. Luckily for me, a friend referred me to Mark. His compassion towards my situation and his ceaseless wor...k towards my representation left me filled with gratitude and hope for humanity. I had always though lawyers were nasty sharks out to take advantage of people, but Mark is a truly honest man with a tireless work ethic. I was able to get much more out of the divorce than I was expecting thanks to Mark and his representation. I was truly blessed to have him as my lawyer.

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.
