In December, 1983, the Law Office of Charles W. Hodsdon opened.  It is focused on litigation, yet aggressively maintains a complete general practice based on the principle that all legal decisions and actions have a potentially long term impact on the client's fiscal and personal future.  To offer less causes the client to traverse from lawyer to lawyer without the personal or professional relationship that is vital in the law.

The Hodsdon Law Office is structured to create and maintain a long term and comprehensive representation partnership with its clients.  The benchmark philosophy of his practice is that the clients (both corporate and individual) served by the law are placed at a disadvantage by a legal system inundated by "specialty" firms.  These firms concentrate on individual areas of the law as opposed to concentrating on the client the law is intended to serve.
