Dan Hodes

Daniel M. Hodes is a founding and managing partner of Hodes Milman. His experience in the area of complex medical malpractice actions and his extensive, successful plaintiffs personal injury trial experience make him one of the most sought-after lawyers in California amongst victims and the families seeking justice.

Dan has successfully resolved by way of trial, settlement, or arbitration, hundreds of civil actions in the seven and eight figure ranges, including a landmark verdict in which an HMO was ordered to pay $10.96 million for the wrongful death of a young wife and mother. At the time, this was the largest medical malpractice wrongful death jury verdict in Orange County history, in a state that has established significant limits on the overall amount of monetary damages that can be obtained in medical malpractice actions. He also achieved the second largest medical malpractice wrongful death verdict in the county at the time, a $5.3 million verdict in 2006 for the death of a 38-year-old husband and father.

Choosing a lawyer who can successfully resolve your case is an important decision. You will want an attorney that is experienced handling cases like yours, but who also won’t view your claim as just another file on their desk. At Hodes Milman we pride ourselves in having a duty to our clients by giving our full attention to a limited number of cases. 

Your lawyer should also be available to answer your questions. Our commitment to our clients is to be accessible whenever possible. Though we are often in court, we will always accept your call to listen and understand a new development about your case and how it is affecting you and your family.

With many attorneys to choose from — each claiming millions in recoveries and multiple awards — one of the most important requirements to winning a case is when your attorney understands what you are going through each day. At Hodes Milman, we have the experience and track record needed to provide thorough representation. For instance, Dan Hodes, one of our founding partners, has worked in medical malpractice for nearly 40 years and recovered over $35 million for his clients in one year alone.

From morning to night, we want to know about what new challenges you or a loved one may experience as your circumstance unfolds. As many clients will state in their reviews of our firm, we will advocate for you throughout your case, and we will be there for you even after your case has been resolved.
