Hodes Milman

Dan Hodes represented me during a very difficult time in my life and I am so appreciative of his support throughout this journey. From the beginning, he made me feel seen, heard, and taken seriously during the most challenging times. He took ample time to walk me through every step of the process, explained complex legal issues clearly, and was always responsive when I had questions. Dan is thorough, strategic, and deeply knowledgeable. He and the team prepared meticulously and fought hard for the best outcome possible. I always felt he had my best interests at the forefront and that he genuinely cared about my case, not just as a file, but as a person. If you are looking for an attorney who is compassionate, detail-oriented, and relentless in pursuing justice, I highly recommend Dan Hodes!

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the exceptional legal support Mr. Dan hodes provided throughout my case. His professionalism, and attention to detail gave me confidence at every stage. The outcome exceeded my expectations, and it was clear that his dedication and expertise played a major role in achieving it. I truly value his guidance and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality legal representation.

A huge thank you to Dan Hodes and his incredible team at Hodes Milman! A big shoutout to Jacob Brender, who went above and beyond every step of the way. His dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly made all the difference. He was always available to answer questions, kept everything on track, and made a challenging process much easier to navigate. A special thank you as well to Naly for her support and kindness. Every phone call was either answered immediately or promptly returned, and the entire team was not only highly professional but also incredibly compassionate and empathetic. Their commitment to their clients truly sets them apart. Highly recommend!

Dan Hodes Milman and Jacob Brender were exceptional in advocating for our family and obtaining a substantial award for my brother! My brother had a stroke causing hemiparalysis on the right side of his body and aphasia/apraxia as a result of medical mal-practice related to a surgery performed on him. Not only did this affect the quality of his life, the ability to live, work, and care for himself independently; but it also put a huge physical, emotional, and financial strain on our family. Being a single mother, taking on the care for my brother; I can't begin to tell you how grateful we are to Dan and Jacob! Although, no amount of money can make up for this catastrophic event; having the resources now do enable him to have a better quality of life, as well as help us to care for him more adequately, hiring caregivers, obtaining specialized or modified equipment, and therapies. Needless to say, the process itself was complicated, but throughout the entire case, Jacob and Dan thoroughly explained every step of the process, putting my mind at ease. This team not only fought for us, but did so in a compassionate manner. They understood our concerns and needs, and were able to make that argument on our behalf. In my book, Dan and Jacob get ten stars! I strongly recommend this Law Firm and without a doubt can say that you are in great hands with these two! Thank you Dan Hodes Milman and Jacob Brender, you have forever changed our lives for the good!

Mr Milman took my Product Liability case when nobody else would. I received a record Settlement sum for my problem. He was also very human, he patiently listened to my panic attacks and helped find solutions.

In October 2020 we found ourselves in need of a Law Firm to represent us in a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit. After interviewing 4 different Law Firms in Orange County, we settled on Dan Hodes and Jacob Brender of Hodes, Milman & Ikuta. From the first Zoom meeting we felt confident that they would give us the attention that this case needed. Kind and courteous with great attention to details, Jacob and Dan worked with us for months and the end result was a settlement that exceeded our expectation and will help us living comfortably moving forward. We highly recommend these 2 to represent you if you have a potential malpractice suit. They will not promise you the sun and moon, but they will work hard to make sure that's the end result! Thank you to 2 excellent attorneys!

The Law Office of Hodes Milman represented us for a somewhat complicated medical malpractice lawsuit. My husband and I are extremely fortunate and grateful to have had Mr. Daniel Hodes as our attorney. His expertise and professionalism throughout the process quickly brought us peace of mind, especially during such a stressful time. Mr. Hodes was diligent with every detail pertaining to our case and we had the utmost confidence in his guidance. We were consistently kept informed of new developments in our case and Mr. Hodes was available to us at all times. I highly recommend Mr. Daniel Hodes to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation as we are extremely satisfied with the outcome of his service.

Didnt bother calling back

Ben Ikuta represented me in a car accident case where I was hit from behind and the other driver admitted fault (on tape at the scene.) You would think that it would’ve been a slam dunk case, but the insurance companies put up a fight about it. Luckily, Ben navigated the waters like a seasoned veteran. He was both honest and direct with me, yet compassionate and empathetic to my situation. Ben kept me abreast of my case every step of the way, ensuring that I always had his support and answered all of my questions with candor and transparency. I am grateful to Ben and his team for a positive experience that ultimately led to a favorable outcome for my case. His wisdom, patience, and widely diverse knowledge about the law is second to none; I’d confidently put any of my loved ones and friends in his company, trusting that they’d be in good hands. Thank you, Ben and the team!

I was very grateful to be referred to Jeffrey A. Milman, founding and managing partner at Hodes Milman Liebeck, who successfully represented me for injuries received in a motor vehicle accident. Although I almost never post online reviews, I am honored to join the many other clients who sing the praises of this wonderful legal expert. Prestigious peer-reviewed professional organizations including Super Lawyers, Martindale, various trial lawyer associations and others have rightly recognized and awarded Jeff with top honors, but those awards only tell a part of the story about this seasoned attorney since they lack the client's perspective. All throughout my case, Jeff's legal expertise, insight, strategy and advice were always razor sharp and his demeanor was professional, thoughtful and caring. Jeff showed great patience and was so generous with his time answering my many questions and explaining every issue. Jeff was on top of simply everything—even with his heavy caseload and court calendar, calls and emails were returned promptly, often within minutes. His staff, including legal assistant Brenda and paralegal Rosalee, was top notch and never once dropped the ball. Jeff's associate attorney, Jacob Brender, was professional, extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Anyone needing the services of a medical malpractice or personal injury attorney would be most fortunate to be represented by Mr. Milman—he's simply the BEST.

Jeff Milman was referred to me by a friend of mine. I had never sued anyone so I was not familiar with how this would all go. It's kind of hard to believe but it was a really positive experience. Although the lawsuit took over 2 years to get to court, (which is normal) it was fine because Jeff and his team took care of everything for me and I didn't have to worry about it. When we went to court, we were buttoned up, were there for 4 days, and won! I am proud to say sometimes the little guy gets a fair shake. The system worked for me and I believe a huge part of it was because it was with Jeff and his team. He was prepared, respectful of me and listened to me. I would recommend Jeff and his team.

My husband received bad medical care and as a result almost died. I was fortunate enough to be referred to Jeff Milman. Jeff was so easy to talk to and worked so hard to get us a settlement. He kept us informed every step of the way. It was so great to have someone who believed in us after what we went through. We are forever grateful for the work he did on our behalf and would highly recommend him to anyone in our situation.

My family hired Ben Ikuta for a real estate dispute that went to trial a few months ago. Without getting too into details, it was a we said/they said situation with the other side having slightly more advantage then we did. However, Ben was confident that he could win our case. He was always a pleasure to work with, was responsive, and gave our case a wagonload of attention. Ben's eye for detail was highly impressive - when going through our documents he was able to spot evidence that we had overlooked, or didn't think was significant. He did an incredible job in court, and was able to persuade the judge to rule completely in our favor. My family is also acquainted with a retired judge, and at some point during our case we asked him what he thought about our chances. At the time he gave a kind of non-committal answer, which we understood because it really could have gone either way, but after he heard that we won the trial he sought my family out to congratulate us and to admit that he actually DIDN'T think we could have won with the little evidence we had, and said we must have had a good lawyer! So we are eternally grateful to Ben who saved our family from a lot of stress, worry and heartache (not to mention tens of thousands of dollars had we lost the case). I also have to mention that real estate is NOT Ben's specialty - he specializes in medical malpractice, so if he could do such an incredible job on a case he doesn't have particularly wide experience in, I can only imagine how effective he is as a medical malpractice lawyer. No matter what kind of case, Ben always has his eyes on the prize. I would not want to be the person going up against him in court! Hopefully I will never have need of a medmal lawyer, but if I did I would not hesitate to recommend Ben.

I was involved in a 4 vehicle car accident and was left with a non-functioning car and 4 different insurance companies who were unresponsive and extremely negligent in handling my claim. I contacted Ben Ikuta and he immediately took action. I was impressed by his sense of urgency and his compassion towards the suffering I had endured from this process. I appreciate how knowledgeable he is about complex insurance policies and how quickly he demanded action from the other companies involved. Ben is remarkably well-spoken and passionate; I would recommend him to anyone in need of a legal advocate.

Medical Malpractice & Personal Injury

Ben Ikuta is a great attorney. I worked with him when his practice was primarily defense, and the same qualities that served him well then will help on the plaintiff's side. Ben is a tenacious and passionate advocate with an impressive work ethic and a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the law. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone looking to retain a lawyer.
