Many clients have praised the firm for its professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to handle complex legal matters efficiently, particularly in estate planning and real estate transactions.

I worked with Dan and overall I would say my experience was unpleasant. He’s a really polite guy but I feel pretty robbed considering I had to do half of his job for him. I got tricked into using him as my real estate attorney as well as probate, that was a mistake… I’ve made several really estate transactions in the past and it was frustrating to have literally 0 communication from Dan the ENTIRE time. In fact, I had to reach out to him about all the closing documents I never received from him (this was 3 days before closing and his office is over an hour away, closing date never changed either). He made me overnight all the documents back to him on my dime even though he dropped the ball.
I contacted Dan Hood, whom I had used previously for some simple estate settlement work. I told him that a dog breeder had breached our verbal agreement for a puppy and refused to refund my money. He charged me $300 to send her a letter and make a few phone calls to her, which did not succeed in getting a refund. Then he told me to forget about it, advising that I would lose the case if I sued her. He basically took her side and was demeaning to me for wanting to continue pursuing a refund. I filed a small claims case against her on my own and won. I got my full refund, plus all legal and filing fees back. Apparently Mr. Hood is unaware that when a business breaches their contract and is sued, they will be awarded their full refund plus legal fees. I think he just didn’t want to be bothered with it. Maybe he is better at form letters and filling out basic paperwork to file in court than actually advocating for a paying client.
We talked on the phone, he said he would take my case for free as pro bona lawer. All he needed to do is write a single email. I drove 35 miles to come to the office and he tells me that “nothing is free and we need to pay for electricity”. He asked couple thosands and I didnt like it. At least they could tell it to me in advance.
