Testimonials

  • I am not sure as where to begin with my deep appreciation for Mr. Bodow’s professionalism, dedication, candor, and reliability. We have used him for two cases and found his approach and knowledge to be of the utmost help in resolving these issues. We had originally found him via a Web search when in need of a lawyer. He made himself available to us without delay and worked tirelessly on our behalf to make sure that we had the best possible outcome. His staff is diligent and courteous, and the location is great for the S.D. courthouse. We will continue to rely on him for any additional legal help we will need in the future. We couldn’t be happier with him.

  • If you are looking for a great military defense lawyer Mr. Bodow is who you want fighting for you! I just went through an Administrative Separation Board and we had a unanimous vote to retain me in the Navy. Mr. Bodow and his counter part Mr. Carver are no none-sense, straight forward hard hitters! They probed and questioned every aspect related to my case and had the board members questioning themselves for two hours because of their very well planned strategy and tact. They saved my career and guaranteed a secure future for my family and me.

  • I was popped in San Diego on a possession of Marijuana charge and hired Jerry Bodow to represent me in my case. When my case was over, I pled guilty to an infraction of disturbing the peace and a $300.00 fine. I was very happy with the way he handled my case. He was always professional, kept me well informed on my case, and got me a great result.
