Daily Journal Recognizes Hodes Milman in Top Boutiques in California Edition for 2026

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., Oct. 14, 2026—Hodes Milman has been named to the Daily Journal’s 2026 Top Boutiques in California list.

The Daily Journal’s annual Top Boutiques feature emphasizes California law firms with focused practices and the significant matters they handle within their areas of law. Hodes Milman represents individuals and families in medical malpractice, serious personal injury and wrongful death cases.

“We want our clients to know they can pick up the phone and talk to us,” said Daniel Hodes, founding and managing partner of Hodes Milman. “They’re going through something difficult, and being there for them is part of doing our job well. I’m proud of the care our team puts into these cases, and we’re honored to be recognized by the Daily Journal.”

For more than 30 years, Hodes Milman has represented people harmed by negligence and recovered more than $400 million in settlements and verdicts. Its practice includes claims involving medical negligence, motor vehicle collisions and defective products.

The firm also represented survivors in litigation against the University of Southern California involving former gynecologist George Tyndall. Working alongside other plaintiffs’ firms, Hodes Milman helped secure an $851.6 million settlement in 2021 resolving claims brought by 710 women.

Among the firm’s notable settlements is a $6.4 million recovery for a 67-year-old woman whose brain aneurysm went undiagnosed during an emergency room visit. She suffered a subsequent bleed that left her in need of around-the-clock care. Daniel Hodes and Lee Weiss represented her in the case.

The firm also secured a $4.875 million settlement for a physician who suffered uterine and bowel injuries during an outpatient procedure, and a $4.75 million settlement for a retired chaplain who was left permanently paralyzed after his worsening leg weakness was not timely evaluated during a hospital stay. Daniel Hodes and Jacob Brender represented the clients in both matters.

Hodes Milman emphasizes close involvement with its clients, taking time to understand how an injury has affected their lives. Its attorneys prepare each case for trial and remain available to clients after the matter is resolved. The firm handles the demands of litigation so clients can focus on their recovery and their families.

Hodes Milman is grateful to its clients for their trust and to the Daily Journal for this recognition. The firm will continue to approach each case with the preparation and personal attention its clients deserve.
