In October 2025, Dan Hodes, Founding and Managing Partner of Hodes Milman, was honored with the prestigious Joseph D. McNeil Civility Award by the Orange County chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA).
This distinguished award recognizes attorneys who consistently exemplify the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and integrity in the practice of law, both inside and outside the courtroom.
Dan’s career spans nearly four decades in medical malpractice litigation, during which he has secured over $100 million in life-changing verdicts and settlements for his clients. He has set benchmarks for excellence through landmark cases that have shaped the legal landscape in California, while earning the respect of colleagues, judges, and the broader community.
Dan’s work continues to inspire the next generation of attorneys, and his recognition is a reminder that true advocacy is not just about winning cases. It’s about standing up for clients, elevating the profession, and leading by example in every facet of legal practice.
