Cheryl represented my startup firm in a trademark dispute against an intimidating and well-funded adversary. Attorneys at larger firms had told me to just roll over and play dead.

A great and intelligent mind; a beautiful disposition and character and a kind but tough heart. That's what you get when you hire Cheryl Hodgson and her Hodgson Law Firm Professional Pro's. She says it will get done and it does. A legal mind I can trust so mine doesn't have need to worry. Someone who will settle things in a protective yet fair manner.

Very Positive. The experience has been great. Cheryl is a great communicator. She is eager to share her experience and unique perspective. Not only does she explain complicated issues in a clear and concise way, but she also has a strong understanding of business needs. As an owner of a growing business, she made my life easier and helped to add value to the brand that will continue far into the future.
