Dan helped me to get my felony dropped to a misdemeanor and my jail time to be stayed. I couldn't be more happier. Dan put in the time of 6 months going back and forth with the prosecution to help us out. I would recommend him to anyone.

He was extremely attentive and adept at finding the balance of aggression and finesse to yield positive results beyond all my expectations. Anyone who truly cares about favorable outcomes must seek the services of this firm!!

Honest, trust worthy, and delivers result!!

Steve and Dan are outstanding and very knowledgeable lawyers. Very professional, fee was fair and they did exactly what they said they would. I was lucky to have a team who knew the system, clerks, judges, etc so well. I would highly recommend Steve or Dan without hesitation.

I was a client of Dan Hodgkinson and I cannot say enough about how well he handled my case. I will say however, that from the very first conversation I had with Dan, I felt that I was in good hands, possibly the best hands available. I have an attorney son-in-law in another state and he interviewed attorneys up here for me. My son-in-law talked to more than a handful, and came back and told me that Dan has incredible credentials, along with professional and personal philosophies that made choosing Dan THE overwhelming choice to represent me. Thats a pretty amazing recommendation to get from another attorney. It was LIFE CHANGING to have Dan vs. who knows who I would have randomly picked!!

I imagine that with every case - and as in my case as well, there is a personal side to what is happening. Life seems to never be the same again. I really thank Dan for his empathy and understanding of how I felt. He could talk about how I was feeling without my even saying anything - he just knew, and knew what to say to help me get through. Dan was friendly, courteous, professional - everything you would expect, but he far exceeded my expectations in his gut-feel for my circumstance and knowing just how to ease the trauma for me - and knowing what to do about my case.

And oh - not to make light the case itself, Dan got for me the best possible outcome in court. We got everything and a box of chocolates (to use a phrase), and I'm forever grateful for how everything turned out.

To anyone that is reading this wondering how on earth are you going to be able to choose the best attorney for your case, I've been in your shoes and it's a horrible feeling. Don't make a mistake and throw darts to decide, take it from my experience - choose Attorney Dan Hodgkinson, and his team, and you will never ever look back.

Honestly, it is your best choice. It was for me, and one last thank you to Dan and his team - everyone on his team was just better than I expected and I could never extend enough Thank-You's.

Dan Hodgkinson was courteous, professional, competent and responsible. He was very reliable and was always available when needed. 5 stars.

Mr. Hodgkinson is the definition of professionalism. At no point in all of our conversations did I ever lose confidence that he had my best interests in mind. The confidence that he carries with him into the court room is amazing. Other lawyers treat him with a great deal of respect. I am so glad that Dan was in charge of my case.

I would recommend Dan to handle anyone's legal troubles.

dan was a very personable upstanding guy, hes a very wonderful lawyer highly recommend his services.

Daniel set my mind at ease and took care of everything. He kept me informed on what was going on and what I could expect. He did more for me in the long run than I thought I was going to get.

Mr. Hodgkinson confidently guided me through the court process, promptly answering any questions I had along the way. He is very personable and respected in the court room. He diligently worked on my behalf. I would highly recommend.

Steve and Dan are great. They worked diligently on my case. They kept me up to date and where open and honest with my concerns and questions. Highly recommened

Helped me out a great deal!!! Great lawyer took care of everything.

A great representation for us. We could not have been more satisfied. In fact I asked him for a stack of cards walking out of the courtroom in case I ever encountered someone in a similar situation as we were. I do not write many reviews but I would be remiss not to share my experience for the benefit of others.

Mr. Dan Hodgkinson has helped to resolve a traffic ticket in quite favorable way with minimum effort from our side. Initially, we have met him in his office to discuss the case. He gained our trust quickly and reduced much of the anxiety. When we hired him, he adopted the case and made sure we are informed what to expect, where and when to be, etc. In the court, he met with the prosecutor and arranged an agreement acceptable for us. Overall, our experience was excellent and beyond of our expectations.

Daniel Hodgkibson, is an amazing lawyer with a great personality. I met with two lawyers prior to meeting Daniel. The first lawyer was professional, but lacked the confidence of my winning my case. Denial read my case and felt certain I would win. Which really eased my nerves. The second lawyer I met with became upset when he realized my case was the next day. Even though I called the prior week and his staff said there was no problem meeting him the day prior to my hearing. That was his only day available. He became upset and unprofessionally kicked me out. I was the left with one lawyer who lacked confidence in winning my case and I was filled with anxiety. I called Daniels office thinking I would be rejected, but Daniel saw me right away, read my case, and said we'll take care of it. The anxiety was totally gone. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. All charges were withdrawn. It was worth the money leaving the court room with a clean record and a just outcome. I would recommend Daniel to anyone.

McCollum Hodgekinson is a really good lawyer and very easy to talk to and He is awesome. Thank You

Dan was the best decision I have made in a long time. If you need an attorney you must hire Dan! He is worth every single dollar. My car is my livelihood and he was able to get my ticket reduced so I wouldn't have any issues. Deverian contratar a Dan es muy buen abogado en verdad lo recomiendo.

Dan Hodgkinson was great to work with . Very honest and a pleasure to work with. Would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Dan Hodgkinson represented me in regards to a very unique DUI case given the circumstances. Being a Service Member on Active Duty required that the case be handled carefully given that the ramifications of the case would affect my entire career.

Throughout the process Mr. Hodgkinson acted in such a way that left me truly impressed. His level of professionalism was exceptional. He constantly kept me informed of the situation and worked hard to achieve the desired goals, All the while he helped keep me calm given the gravity of the situation. He always presented me with not only his legal advice, but also all the available options. He also made me feel as though he truly cares for each of his clients that he agrees to take on which made me feel only more comfortable with his representation.

Being in the military, I felt he truly valued my service and accomplishments and understood what was on the line for me. He was also always straight-forward and eager to do everything he could to help me.

I highly recommend Mr. Hodgkinson to anyone who seeks an informed, professional, and courteous attorney.

You can't go wrong with Dan Hodgkinson on your side, I could not of asked for a better outcome in my case. Dan walks tall in court and everyone from other lawyers, to the bailiff, to the Judge seem to enjoy and respect Dan. Dan was able to use his key relationships and excellent negotiation skills to work out a plea bargain which brought me down from a very serious charge to nearly a slap on the wrist compared to what I could have ended up with. Communication with Dan is easy as he was always there to answer my questions and address my concerns over the 4 months and 3 court dates which he represented me. Give Dan a call and put yourself at ease as he did for me after my consultation, you'll be in good hands.

Very professional! Provided a great Service

Very pleased with the outcome of my case. Dan Hodgkinson is a very talented and highly respected lawyer as I seen on several occasions in the courtroom.

Let me begin by saying that you want Dan Hodgkinson & Steve McCollum in your lifeboat. Period.
I found myself in a very complicated, dire, & escalated situation, where my very freedom seemed doomed. Not only did they take on the case; They did so in a professional, empathetic, & intrepid manner. From the initial consultation, to the final court appearance; They were in my corner, advocating for me.
The result?
An aggravated felony DUI charge reduced to a misdemeanor reckless driving. The likes of which I've never seen done, or heard of before... Thank You!!!

Dan did an outstanding job for us.

Very nice helped me figure out what I needed to do for a Wisconsin case

Dan was great and delivered on everything he said he would.

Dan Hodgkinson is a Top Tier Lawyer! Highly recommended! He was always available to answer any questions I had and was very knowledgeable about the law. If your looking for someone to represent you, Dan is the Man.

This attorney group one of the best. I highly recommend them. Danny Hodgkinson did really good job even if previous attorney made some mistake on my court date. Thank you so much, wish you best.

I would like to thank Dan Hodgkinson for all he has done to help my fiancé over the past couple of years.
Despite the fact that the case became more and more complicated, Dan found ways to offer more palatable and less severe options than what the state had in mind.
Recently, Dan remembered to contact me with an update so that I could schedule my flight from LA to be here in time for my fiance's (early) release from jail. I appreciated that extra courtesy. Without Dan's assistance, my fiancé would STILL be incarcerated today instead of sitting next to me as a free man as I type this.
It really isn't difficult to get in trouble with the law. One poor decision can end up destroying a person's future. I am so very thankful that Dan Hodgkinson was there to protect my fiancé time and time again.
If you ever find yourself in legal hot water in need of some saving, you want Dan Hodgkinson on your side fighting for you. Trust me.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Dan is the best! Worth every penny.

Excellent outcome and great personal service, including going above and beyond to help with the Secy of State. Excellent communication, responding promptly to emails and calls and listening respectfully to my questions and ideas. Not the cheapest option but worth the cost.

Dan Hodgkinson was fantastic when handling what was a minor issue and it was incredible the attention he gave. He is someone I would definitely want on my side representing me to a favorable outcome!

Dan Hodgkinson helped me when I was in I thought the worst part of my life an was able to turn it around make things seem normal again. No attorney can promise anything, but he was positive the entire way though, with follow ups, emails, special request, questions at odd hours. Any process involving the courts is no fun an lengthy, but he definitely made it seem short and go all away quickly as possible. Based on my experience I would highly recommend this firm to get any law need taken care of. Thanks again Team.

I strongly suggest you don’t hire this lawyer. It became clear very quickly that his role as a former assistant states attorney is more important than representing his clients. If you want to overpay and get crappy representation, hire Dan Hodgkinson.

DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER!

After researching on the web I hired Steve McCollum and Dan Hodgkinson to represent me on a DUI. They were both involved in helping me and they are extremely organized and know what they're doing . I couldn't have been happier with the results and will call them if I ever need anything again.

They are great lawyers.

I was referred to Steve by a friend who said he did a great job for him. I met with Steve and Dan Hodgkinson and based upon their experience, hired them. They did a great job and despite a prosecutor who just didn't want to give up, cleared me of all the charges. The judge clearly knew Steve and sided with him when he argued. I can't tell you how nice it was to feel that someone actually cared about my case and had the skills to win. I highly recommend him.

He's simply the best. He helped me out of the worst of situations...highly recommended
