"The Five Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Florida Accident Case is a must read for anyone that has been injured in a accident in Florida!"

My case was handled courteously and professionally. All of my questions were answered promptly and I never felt anything I was concerned about was un-important. Judi always had answers and took the time to explain. She was always on top of my case when I called the office.

I really appreciated the fact that Mr. Dodson hired a professional expert to measure and make an evaluation about the place where I fell. The whole process was handled very well. Both Judi and Mr. Dodson were very nice and my experience working with them was professional.

I would recommend Jim Dodson to anyone I knew who was in need of a personal injury attorney. 


"I recommend the Law Office of James Dodson.  They were always able and available when I had questions.  They even got me more than I expected right when I needed it most.  I am exceedingly grateful to have had this wonderful group of people helping and getting what we deserve."

"The Five Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Florida Accident Case is a must read for anyone that has been injured in a accident in Florida!"

-Sally from Clearwater Florida
My case was handled courteously and professionally. All of my questions were answered promptly and I never felt anything I was concerned about was un-important.

Colleen
July 2009
"I recommend the Law Office of James Dodson.  They were always able and available when I had questions.  If they weren't sure of the answer they got it for me.  They even got me more than I expected right when I needed it most.  I am exceedingly grateful to have had this wonderful group of people helping and getting what we deserve."

    Jennifer, Clearwater
    August 2008

"When I was injured in my car wreck, my husband and I were very reluctant to hire a lawyer.  At the same time, I knew I had been seriously injured and would only feel comfortable with someone I felt was dealing with me in an honest and upright manner.  Because of my initial reluctance to pursue a claim, I delayed seeing Jim Dodson.  I listened to the advice of well-meaning friends and made costly mistakes I would not have made if I had seen him sooner.  I tried to handle too much on my own.  Throughout my dealings with Jim, I knew my values were never compromised and nothing occurred that I didn't agree with in pursuing compensation for my injuries.  I knew I needed and wanted a strong advocate to fight for what was right.  I always told him I wanted him to give me advice as though he were giving advice to his family.  At the same time, I wanted my rights protected.  We had to fight the insurance company, file a lawsuit and go through litigation.  Jim and his assistant, Judi, were at my side at every step along the way.  I never felt pressure to compromise what was right.  We stood firm for a just outcome.  I'm thankful I was referred to Jim and would recommend him to anyone suffering an injury in an accident."

         Kris, Clearwater
         April 2009

"I would highly recommend this office to anyone.  They handled my case with the highest level of professionalism and kept me informed at all times."

         Jim, Largo
         February 2009
I would highly recommend the Dodson Team to anyone who feels they need guidance.  I am thankful that I had them on my side.  Anyone who is injured needs to know their rights.  I will recommend them in the future to anyone and know that I can call on them if I have any questions whatsoever in regards to any legal matter."

Tracey, New Port Richey
December 2008
         
"I wanted to thank you for the prompt and professional manner that you handled my accident case against State Farm Insurance Company.  Every time that I called for something or to as a question, Judi was always able to get back to me with an answer within a short period of time.  It's nice to do business with people that you feel have integrity and after talking with you on that first day, I knew that you were the person of character that I wanted to represent me."

     Dallas, St. Petersburg
     August 2008
"Mr. Dodson is honest, efficient, easy to talk to, and keeps his clients well informed."

       Marie, Largo
       September 2007
"Mr. Dodson and his wonderful staff dealt with me at a time in my life that was very emotional. I thank the Lord above that Mr. Dodson and his staff directed me through this terrible time in my life. Thank you all very, very much. Mr. Dodson, I do thank you from the bottom of my heart. P.S. And your staff is most important."      

        Robert, Largo
       September 2007
"I would recommend Attorney James Dodson for any legal matters as he and his staff were very professional in keeping us informed of all steps in the three cases in which we were involved in. In every case there was an excellent outcome. It was a pleasant and comfortable experience even through such difficult circumstances."

       Michael, Tarpon Springs
       September 2007
"James is a first class attorney who, with his powerful demeanor and knowledge of the law, maximized a fair settlement for me. I received frequent letters of any activity concerning my case. He made sure that the insurance company took into consideration the long term affect that the accident would have on me and constantly monitored my medical treatments and intervened in my behalf when needed. I highly recommend Attorney James Dodson for any legal matter."      

    
   Don, Crystal Beach
       September 2007
"Mr. Dodson and Judi kept me informed every step of the way! I would highly recommend Mr. Dodson and would use him again. After my first meeting with Mr. Dodson, I knew I could trust him and felt he had my best interest when making decisions and with the final outcome. Thanks for everything."

       Jennifer, Clearwater
       September 2007
"In the course of my knowing Mr. James Dodson and his staff, he consistently maintained the highest professional standards with regard to my case. Jim gave me excellent advice on getting good medical care and physical therapy regarding my car accident which helped speed my recovery. Jim's expert guidance and knowledge helped me get a very fair and generous settlement."

       John, St. Petersburg
       September 2007
"Jim! Thank you for the great job you did on my personal injury case.  Not only were you thorough, but expedient as well.  I would not hesitate in recommending your services."

      Ron, Palm Harbor
      October 2007
"Jim Dodson was highly recommended to me and I have to say that I couldn't be more pleased.  He is a wealth of knowledge, professionalism and experience in his fields of law.  There is also a personal touch I appreciated - birthday and holiday cards sent to me, along with interesting and helpful articles.  Bottom line - with Jim Dodson in your corner, you really can't go wrong."

     Roy, St. Petersburg
     November 2007
"Jim - You went above and beyond in handling and answering any of our questions.  Your advice and understanding were in my benefit and of sound value.  This process is stressful and confusing.  I am grateful for you always keeping me in check emotionally in order to make sound decisions.  I feel like we became friends instead of an attorney/client relationship."

     Robin, St. Petersburg
     December 2007

"I found attorney James W. Dodson to be very professional and understanding.  He answers questions, returns my calls promptly and keeps me updated.  I was very satisfied with the final settlement and would highly recommend him."

       Paul, Largo
       January 2008
"The professional care I received from James Dodson, P.A. during the process of litigation after a car accident was caring and informative.  I was provided with information that assured me to be confident during deposition and mediation.  Mr. Dodson is a good listener and made me feel valued by paying attention to my contribution of the process.  The preparation to all processes was careful and complete, contributing to a satisfactory outcome.  I have high regards for James Dodson, P.A. and would be glad to be a reference at any time."

       Gisela, Indian Rocks Beach
       January 2008
"From the very beginning, Jim was always available to answer any questions or address any concerns I had.  At no time did I feel my case was less important or less worthy of his time and attention, despite the fact that it was not a "big" case.  He is the consummate professional and handled every detail with integrity, a complete knowledge of the law, and the savvy necessary to communicate with other attorneys and insurance adjusters.  I truly appreciate all his help and expertise in settling my claim."

       Donna, Safety Harbor
       April 2008
"I very much appreciated your patience with me and my crazy job.  Your office always kept me informed of anything that was going on with my case.  You always made time for me on short notice.  It was nice to feel like everything was being taken care of.  Thank you all for all the help and great treatment I received."
