Atty Hodges was very helpful in regards to a Guardianship inquiry. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!
M.
August 22, 2026I had a positive experience working with Hale & Hodges Law, and Jon Hodges in particular. He was professional, supportive, and truly understood I was experiencing a stressful situation. He took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I was treated fairly, and handled my matter with integrity from start to finish. I’m extremely grateful for the help and highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs reliable, honest legal representation.

August 18, 2026Jonathan was extremely well versed and so incredibly thorough during our consultation. He was a straight shooter (while still remaining very compassionate) and advised us with the most ethical and sound advise we received (and we consulted with numerous attorneys in this field). He really helped us put a sensitive issue to rest with the confidence that we had done everything we could, and we are very grateful for his professionalism and knowledge. Would highly recommend to anyone sifting through the sea of legal counsel options - he's clearly the best option in the area.

I cannot thank Mike Hale enough for his help and support during a very stressful situation. He took the time to advocate for me, and made sure I would not be unfairly charged while the matter was being addressed. His professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to stand up for me truly made a difference. Thank you for helping me

August 6, 2026Mike Hale was referred to me by another attorney when I asked for the best in business law in Palm Beach County, which speaks volumes. He reviewed partnership documents for a franchise I’m joining, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Mike caught several issues in the contracts and operating agreements that I missed, including critical drafting errors in the paperwork I was originally given. He has a great way of breaking down complex legal jargon into terms that actually make sense for us laymen. He was incredibly thorough, and I genuinely felt like he cared about my interests rather than treating me like just another number. I highly recommend Mike and his team. I’ll definitely be using them again.

After dealing with an abandoned construction project, paying substantial funds to a contractor who said was licensed, and being left with a home that had been demoed and significantly damaged by unpermitted and defective work, I spent more than six months trying to resolve the situation without any progress. I interviewed several construction litigation attorneys before being referred to Michael. After months of feeling like no one truly understood what I had been through, Michael was the first person/attorney who genuinely made me feel heard. From our very first conversation, his unmatched knowledge, integrity, and genuine compassion immediately stood out. He didn't just listen to the legal facts—he took the time to understand the personal and emotional toll the situation had taken on me. From that moment on, I felt the weight begin to lift off my shoulders because I knew I finally had someone in my corner whom I could truly trust to get this to the finish line. His communication, follow-through, professionalism, and dedication have been exceptional every step of the way. I'm incredibly grateful for everything Michael and his team have done—and continue to do—for me during this difficult process. Without hesitation, I would recommend Michael and his team to anyone in need of an experienced construction litigation attorney.
Nayrobi
July 9, 2026Mike 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.
