Mikiel helped me through my employment-based immigration process. A huge THANK YOU to all of her efforts, I felt very supported during the whole process! She is very knowledgable, professional, organized, attentive to all the details, and always available to help you. She knows what she is doing and she answers all of your questions and concerns and help you. She provided a GREAT support during this stressful process. She is very responsible and very quick in responding any questions and does her best to help you. I am a very detailed oriented person and usually prefer to get things done myself :) But, working with Mikiel provided me a huge ease of mind that she takes care of everything in the best possible way.
I highly recommend her for any immigration work, she is the BEST!

Working with Henry was an extremely good experience. He kept me informed of all my options and made recommendations for each aspect of litigation. He investigates everything and leaves no stone unturned. We had a successful outcome by settling out of court. He is a great asset to the legal field and I will call him if I need his services again.

I have had the pleasure of employing James for a high profile case involving litigation with fantastic results. Besides being knowledgeable, responsive, and very trustworthy, he kept me appraised of my case at all times, taking the time to explain to me my options, being straight forward with his answers and genuinely caring about his clients best interest.

Despite it being under less than ideal circumstances (an employment issue), I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting and working with Mari Myer. Across all aspects of my situation, Ms. Myer was outstanding: knowledgeable, responsive and, most importantly, objective and candid. With her guidance and work on my behalf, I was able to resolve my issue in what I felt was a prompt and fair manner.

After some searching, I found Foss Hodges and set up a time and an interview. Foss wanted to meet the entire family and the friends anyone who could show up, Foss began to introduce himself and more importantly wanted to know about me and my family. Foss cared it was the first time I had spoken to someone who wanted to actually hear from my family and was willing to speak with them about the case to help ease any confusion we may have. Also, a huge plus was he wanted to work with experts, and he had some of his own including wanting to give the one I had in mind a call and to at least learn with them. Foss gave us a checklist to do with everything he needed and as well as anything we thought would help him in any way. Then we went to work, we were a team working towards one goal and that was to prove my innocence and to put my family back together. Foss Hodges first act of business is very unique, it's to stop and indictment if it hasn’t been indicted already. He states very clearly, I can't promise you anything but the fact I will give you the best effort and I am going to put in the work. Any lawyer that tells you they can promise you a dropped case or an innocent verdict is something to pay attention to because that is not a thing. Foss then asks me to take a polygraph and then came to my house personally to do a walk through and see my house and exactly how the incident transpired. Foss took the extra steps to fully understand what happened and educated himself about the step by step instead of just taking my statement and that’s it. Foss wants to be there and see it with his own eyes, then after that he wants to try to meet the District Attorney to stop the Indictment if possible. We waited a year and a half it felt like before the DA responded to him then she would talk about meeting and then leave the office and someone else would get the case, or it would be “lost” for a few months then a new DA would take it and not respond to him all over again. Foss was persistent and never stopped with the correspondence to try to get a meeting to show the binder he built with all of his hard work and the expert testimonies with the polygraph test and all the Character reference letters with photos of the family and all. Foss kept my family updated and was very frequent with phone calls and if you had a rough time, you could just call him to talk, he was there for me and my wife in a time where we didn’t know what to do. Foss fought for my life for 3 years he won a bond modification to get me home to my family then 8 months later he went on to meet with the DA over my case and she dropped all charges over a six-minute phone call with my wife. Foss Hodges gave me my life back I have never seen anyone care or work so hard for anyone in my life, he was exceeding and doing things every lawyer I worked with before was just not there. I would trust Foss hodges with my life again and I am telling you if you are uncertain about the situation you are in and if you are reading this, I know your scared like I was. Please just give him a call and at the very least listen to what he has to say let him hear your story and then let him work for you like he did for me. He can't promise you the same outcome as me but that’s what he told me too and here I am writing this review after being free from the nightmare with a healthy family working on my master's because of this man. I owe him my life.

I don't know where to start nor can I find the words to thank Mr. Hodges and his colleagues and Firm for their swift and rapid response to false accusations brought against me in conjunction with a divorce. From the moment I contacted Mr. Hodges' firm, a call was returned same day after business hours to take information to understand the situation and discuss my case. This was followed by a succession of calls and emails and meetings followed by execution of the recommended plan moving forward until the case was resolved in my favor. His office was quick to return calls and emails no matter if they were during or after business hours. He and his team each gave me their cell phone numbers and encouraged to reach out if I had any questions or needed to discuss anything. Mr. Hodges and his team were very organized and knew exactly what needed to be done and thought outside of the box and were relentless in proving my innocence and resolving my case. Every time an email or call came from him or his office, it made me happy and not afraid to answer it as I knew I was in GREAT hands. He under promised and over delivered and exceeded my expectations at every corner. Thank you so much Mr. Hodges and team!

Mr. Hodges was a God send in one of the most difficult times in my life. When I first spoke to him I was completely devastated. The unique circumstances of my case were very difficult to discuss but Foss truly went the full distance to assure me, my family and friends that I would have the support I needed and put me at ease. Foss made me feel like I had someone who truly believed in me, especially when I didn't. In spite of the unique circumstances of my case Foss had all the incite, the confidence and strength I lacked when I needed it. Now, I consider him a friend. He is one of the best Men I have ever known. I truly don't know how he does this job, I certainly know I couldn't but I am very, very glad to have found him.
He was extremely sensitive to my specific situation and was my navigator through a very dark time. I truly don't know how I would have gotten through this time without his council and his patience. His expertise was invaluable. He took the time to learn all the details of my situation and really provide the absolute best care and provision for my defense. He stuck by me after several years of litigation and in the ups and downs was always there. My advice to you, the one who may be facing some difficult circumstance, is this. Obtaining the right council can be one of the most critical decisions you will make in your life. To anyone who is seeking council, I would highly recommend Mr. Hodges's services. I can't say enough how grateful I am for having his representation. You will not regret it. God know I am glad to know him.

Lawyer Tunde Akinyele is a very thorough professional. A friend referred him to me. My initial consultation with him was quite pleasant as he listened attentively to my issue and then he asked all pertinent questions. He then explained the steps we would take patiently and the expected outcome we were striving for. He truly knows his onions. He responded to calls in a timely manner and kept me updated every step of the way. He arrived promptly for every scheduled appointment and came prepared. He worked diligently to get the desired result plus more. If you really need a Lawyer on your side to fight for you relentlessly, Lawyer Akinyele is your guy. He will not disappoint. I’m thankful to God that I crossed paths with him. Thank you and God bless you for a job well done.
