Hodes Milman

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"I am an attorney who worked extensively with Ben Ikuta in the Sacramento area. Ben is one of the most intelligent and resourceful lawyers that I know, and to this day I reach out to him for advice when faced with a difficult legal problem. Ben is also extremely hard working, never hesitating to put in long hours doing tedious work to get the best results for his clients. His oral advocacy skills are impressive as well, with an intense and succinct style that cuts right to the key issues in a case. Several prominent judges and lawyers have personally expressed to me their sadness that Ben moved on to Orange County, which speaks volumes of his effectiveness, professionalism, and character."
