Daniel Dodge - Highland Justice Court

Mr. Dodge is less than honorable. I guess you could possibly call him honorable because he once had honorable intentions. However, he is anything but honorable.

I had a judgment against a client that lied to me about having "sent the check in the mail". Regardless, I completed work for her that involved not only my time but also me expending a great deal of costly resources. Not wanting to let myself be conned by her, I turned to the Justice Court only to be conned by Dan Dodge.

I earned a judgment against her for a few hundred dollars. When I went to collect, she got nervous and called the court. She spoke to someone that doesn't even normally work out of that Justice Court. He took notes of the conversation. Those notes included her claim that she had never been served (regardless of the TWO affidavits by my independent 3rd party process server stating otherwise).

Mr. Dodge promptly vacated my judgment without any notice to me, costing me the hundreds of dollars PLUS all fees that I had to pay the court for filings and etc and my time and gas and other resources. I attempted to remove the case from small claims to civil (to preserve my right to appeal) and he wrongfully denied that ability as well. I asked for clarification as to why he did what he did and never received any response back whatsoever.

I guess I shouldn't have ever expected more from a fat ex-administrator.
