    My name is Kourtney Pina, and I cannot recommend Jonathan Hodges with Hale & Hodges Law Firm enough. After a year and a half of getting the runaround from my HOA, who was responsible for damages to my property, I was referred to Jonathan Hodges—and it was the BEST referral I’ve ever received. They say you “never win against an HOA,” but that is not the case here! Jonathan handled my case with exceptional professionalism and precision, resolving it in just six weeks. Not only did we WIN, but I settled for more than DOUBLE the amount of my damages. His responsiveness, attention to detail, diligence and profound understanding of real estate law made the process smooth and stress-free. For all of my real estate legal needs, I trust Jonathan Hodges completely. I have reccommended him out to others as well! He is, without question, one of the most professional, effective, and results-driven attorneys I have ever worked with.

    Mike Hale has been such a wonderful resource as I navigate a difficult situation with a previous employer. Although he has not formally represented me, he has been consistently punctual, thorough, and generous with his knowledge/time in helping me understand whether legal action is necessary and determining the best path forward. He’s been very understanding, sympathetic, and accommodating in our consultations, and has provided clear and valuable guidance into my unique situation. It’s very clear he cares about people and has a genuine heart for those going through difficult circumstances. I’ve called a handful of attorneys in search for the best option for me specifically and he has been the most pleasant to work with so far! Highly recommend this firm!

    For me, seeking representation from attorneys can be a daunting experience. However, both Michael and Johnathan provided a professional and personal experience for me and my family. They take the time to answer all my questions, explain the circumstances and the next steps, and then address any additional questions I may have. We specifically used them to create a will and trust, and they were outstanding in guiding us through the process. I highly recommend them!

    Mike Hale performed a review of my estate plan that had not been looked at in over 10 years. He was able to give me guidance on changes that could be made and used his knowledge to make me comfortable with what I have put in place. He didn't try to sell me anything that I didn't need and it was refreshing to work with him and his firm. I would highly recommend Mike Hale.
