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!

Mark is fantastic!!

I am a big believer and supporter of recognizing people in the community who go above and beyond - like Mark. He not only fought for me in the courtroom, but also educated me with all the facts and figures along the way. He took my phone calls, was open to meeting me when I was feeling overwhelmed ...and really listened to needs. He fights for you in a way that not only outlines the law and what is right, but also makes sure your voice heard. I knew that he had my best interest at heart. Peggy also made me feel important! She made sure I was satisfied, supported and heard. She understood how stressful this process was for me and went out of her way to make sure I stayed calm, focused and cared for. Both Mark and Peggy made my unsettling situation as peaceful as possible. I highly recommend Mark! I believe he is an attorney that truly cares, seeks justice and will represent you well. I made the right decision!

First-Class, Aggressive, Affordable Attorney

I needed an affordable attorney who was aggressive, professional and really knew the ins and outs of family law in Spokane, WA. My Ex has been trying to keep my son from me for the past couple of years. She hired a notorious slime ball attorney … you know the kind who really doesn’t care about the ch...ild. So I needed an attorney who was good … really good! Fortunately, I was referred to Mark Hodgson and his team. As soon as I sat down with Attorney Mark Hodgson and his Paralegal, I knew I was in the right place. Mark Hodgson sincerely listened to me and patiently answered every single one of my questions. He left me feeling confident and extremely relieved! I felt that he genuinely understood and cared about my case. When I called with questions or concerns about my case, my calls were returned. If Mark Hodgson was in Court, his Paralegal would talk to me. I was never left feeling like I was on my own! And when my day in Court came around, Mark Hodgson was remarkably prepared, very aggressive, and excellent on his feet! Even his Paralegal came to Court! This law firm truly cares about their clients. Mark Hodgson is a true professional who has an unbeatable understanding of how our judicial system works and can’t be manipulated by slime ball attorneys or their shady tactics. He won my case and renewed my faith in our justice system. Good people really can come out on top. I would without a doubt hire Mark Hodgson again, and I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs an affordable attorney.

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.
