I highly recommend Dan. He recently helped me with two separate matters and we had a successful outcome on both. Dan and Steve (his law partner) worked together and did a great job at keeping me informed throughout the process. The prices were very reasonable. I hope I don't ever need them again but if I something comes up, Steve and Dan will be the first ones I will call.

"Dan is the BEST of the BEST". He got us the BEST POSSIBLE Outcome. Working with Dan was awesome. Without going into specifics, I would like to say just one sentence. "Dan is the BEST of the BEST". Do not take my word on this internet, just go and meet him once and you will see for yourself. Dan knows everyone in the system. He is very easy to talk to. I have interviewed a dozen attorneys before meeting Dan. Immediately decided to go with Dan. Steve is super awesome. During the initial parts, Steve took care of me (when Dan had to attend other things). I cant write my specific topic and details due to privacy concerns but I just want to describe how I found Dan. I read all the reviews on internet and decided to go meet in person. Jennifer answered my call and setup a quick appointment with Dan for same day; arrived on time and met both Dan & Steve. Steve was supposed to head out to something but it was very nice of him to stay back till I had presented my details. Just go & meet them, if you need to hire an attorney!!!! You will thank yourselves. It is really unfortunate for anyone to be searching for an attorney and there are many many attorneys that want to prey on the weaknesses and take advantage of the situation. But Dan is not into that stuff. He is genuine, compassionate and caring. He explains everything in a simple manner and waits to answer all your questions with patience and empathy. One great advantage is, Dan and Steve are a team of two, For the initial rounds, they will make sure one of them attend the dates and take care of you. Wish the Best of Regards to Dan and Steve!!!!!

From the consultation until my final court date, Dan was in my corner 100% and did everything he could for the best possible outcome. Upon taking my case he explained exactly what his plan of action would be and what he required from me in order to do it. If I had any questions along the way Dan would get back to me within the a very timely manor if he didn't know off hand. The end result of my case was more than I could've hoped for, having been charged with a DUI I was in fear of losing my job because my ability to drive is a requirement. Dan was able to get my suspension lifted and have the paperwork pushed through that day. Over all Dan is very knowledgeable, confident, and personable. Excellent representation!

Let me begin by saying that you want Dan Hodgkinson & Steve McCollum 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!!! The point is, when it comes to your legal representation; When you need attorneys that will stand by you, & fight for you, choose McCollum & Hodgkiinson. You won't be disappointed. Thank You Dan, Steve, and all at McCollum & Hodgkinson!

I had a court date for a traffic citation. It was my first court appearance, and I didn't know what to expect. Dan did a great job explaining the process and helping me strategize my defense. I was able to have my case dismissed and avoid a conviction on my driving record. I am very grateful for Dan's help and would highly recommend him to anyone is a similar situation.

When you need a criminal defense attorney, you need the team with Hodgkinson & Steven they helped me to understand the process for my court appearance and what was needed of me. Hodgkinson did a wonderful job with my DUI I was able to still drive and he also removed my traffic violations from my case. I would highly recommend Hodgkinson to anyone seeking DUI, legal advice. I could not be more glad that he was my lawyer throught it all.

I found Dan Hodgkinson on line, I liked his credentials. After speaking to Dan I retained him for my adult son's 3rd DUI. He explained the charges: felony DUI with prison time, could result. He kept me informed along the way. Dan is compassionate and caring, easy to talk with. He eased my anxiety as a worried mom. He got charges reduced from a felony to misdemeanor DUI. I am very grateful for his help. I highly recommend Dan.

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.

I was recommended by a family friend to Dan after our son was caught drinking at an underage party. It was a very serious charge and my son was facing serious penalties. Dan did a terrific job and my son was extremely fortunate to have Dan in corner.
