It was an absolute pleasure to have Dan Hoades and Jacob Brender represent my husband and I on a medical malpractice lawsuit. Their knowledge and expertise were always on point. I highly recommend this firm
Thanks again gentlemen.

I was very grateful to be referred to Jeffrey A. Milman, founding and managing partner at Hodes Milman Liebeck, who successfully represented me for injuries received in a motor vehicle accident. Although I almost never post online reviews, I am honored to join the many other clients who sing the praises of this wonderful legal expert. Prestigious peer-reviewed professional organizations including Super Lawyers, Martindale, various trial lawyer associations and others have rightly recognized and awarded Jeff with top honors, but those awards only tell a part of the story about this seasoned attorney since they lack the client's perspective. All throughout my case, Jeff's legal expertise, insight, strategy and advice were always razor sharp and his demeanor was professional, thoughtful and caring. Jeff showed great patience and was so generous with his time answering my many questions and explaining every issue. Jeff was on top of simply everything—even with his heavy caseload and court calendar, calls and emails were returned promptly, often within minutes. His staff, including legal assistant Brenda and paralegal Rosalee, was top notch and never once dropped the ball. Jeff's associate attorney, Jacob Brender, was professional, extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Anyone needing the services of a medical malpractice or personal injury attorney would be most fortunate to be represented by Mr. Milman—he's simply the BEST.

Jeff Milman was referred to me by a friend of mine. I had never sued anyone so I was not familiar with how this would all go. It's kind of hard to believe but it was a really positive experience. Although the lawsuit took over 2 years to get to court, (which is normal) it was fine because Jeff and his team took care of everything for me and I didn't have to worry about it. When we went to court, we were buttoned up, were there for 4 days, and won! I am proud to say sometimes the little guy gets a fair shake. The system worked for me and I believe a huge part of it was because it was with Jeff and his team. He was prepared, respectful of me and listened to me. I would recommend Jeff and his team.

My husband received bad medical care and as a result almost died. I was fortunate enough to be referred to Jeff Milman. Jeff was so easy to talk to and worked so hard to get us a settlement. He kept us informed every step of the way. It was so great to have someone who believed in us after what we went through. We are forever grateful for the work he did on our behalf and would highly recommend him to anyone in our situation.

Ben Ikuta represented me in a car accident case where I was hit from behind and the other driver admitted fault (on tape at the scene.) You would think that it would’ve been a slam dunk case, but the insurance companies put up a fight about it. Luckily, Ben navigated the waters like a seasoned veteran.

He was both honest and direct with me, yet compassionate and empathetic to my situation. Ben kept me abreast of my case every step of the way, ensuring that I always had his support and answered all of my questions with candor and transparency.

I am grateful to Ben and his team for a positive experience that ultimately led to a favorable outcome for my case. His wisdom, patience, and widely diverse knowledge about the law is second to none; I’d confidently put any of my loved ones and friends in his company, trusting that they’d be in good hands.

Thank you, Ben and the team!

My family hired Ben Ikuta for a real estate dispute that went to trial a few months ago. Without getting too into details, it was a we said/they said situation with the other side having slightly more advantage then we did. However, Ben was confident that he could win our case. He was always a pleasure to work with, was responsive, and gave our case a wagonload of attention. Ben's eye for detail was highly impressive - when going through our documents he was able to spot evidence that we had overlooked, or didn't think was significant. He did an incredible job in court, and was able to persuade the judge to rule completely in our favor.

My family is also acquainted with a retired judge, and at some point during our case we asked him what he thought about our chances. At the time he gave a kind of non-committal answer, which we understood because it really could have gone either way, but after he heard that we won the trial he sought my family out to congratulate us and to admit that he actually DIDN'T think we could have won with the little evidence we had, and said we must have had a good lawyer! So we are eternally grateful to Ben who saved our family from a lot of stress, worry and heartache (not to mention tens of thousands of dollars had we lost the case). I also have to mention that real estate is NOT Ben's specialty - he specializes in medical malpractice, so if he could do such an incredible job on a case he doesn't have particularly wide experience in, I can only imagine how effective he is as a medical malpractice lawyer. No matter what kind of case, Ben always has his eyes on the prize. I would not want to be the person going up against him in court! Hopefully I will never have need of a medmal lawyer, but if I did I would not hesitate to recommend Ben.

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.

Medical Malpractice & Personal Injury

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'm a lawyer who is familiar with Ben Ikuta's tireless work ethic. Ben is a staunch advocate on behalf of abused elders. I recommend all suspected elder abuse cases to Ben Ikuta. If you suspect elder abuse, I would not hesitate to contact Ben Ikuta.

I also refer all my medical malpractice cases on behalf of an injured patient to Ben, as he is a formidable attorney who is an expert in medical malpractice law.

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.

Jeff Millman was referred to us after my wife was in a very serious auto accident. He has been responsive, accessible and on top of our case from the start. Jeff is also very personable and really cares about his clients and the outcomes.

Kudos to his team as well, Brenda his assistant and Drew have been great to work with and always very responsive. We are happy to recommend them as our experience has been exceptional.
