Professional and Diligent Representation
Hodson and Clifford, LLC was founded in 2000 by two experienced York County lawyers, Steve Hodsdon and Peter Clifford. With over 50 years of combined legal experience, our firm is responsive, pragmatic, and whenever possible, informal. Since our firm’s founding, we have relied on three highly experienced and dedicated legal assistants, with a combined 60 years of paralegal experience. We achieve our goals, including consistently high verdicts and settlements, because everyone at our firm is committed to providing the best legal representation possible..
For all personal injury and most litigation matters, we offer a free and confidential half hour evaluation. In many cases, our lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning no legal fees are payable unless you are successful.
