Excellent Advocate

Compassionate. Easy to talk to. Direct. Extremely well informed and connected. This is not the guy lawyer jokes are written about. This is an honest, calm, reasonable person who advocates tirelessly for the truth. A valuable member of our MA legal system.

Excellent attorney!

I would highly recommend Attorney Gary Todd! He is very knowledgable in his field and, in my case, produced excellent results. I think I most appreciated the fact that he is very easy to talk to and is an excellent listener -- totally without judgment. Gary made a very difficult time much easier, ...and I am very thankful for that. I recommend him 100%.

Amazing, start to finish....

Attorney Gary Todd is an exceptional advocate, skilled litigator and incredibly compassionate individual who represents your best interests inside and out of the court room. During this incredibly difficult time in my life, Attorney Todd helped me understand the process while assuring me that it woul...d be handled in the best possible manner. I was under an incredible amount of stress trying to keep my family, my job and everything else in order but knowing that Attorney Todd had my best interest represented and everything under control, I was able to successfully manage it all during this time of personal crisis. Thank you, Gary!

Very professional, experienced and successful

Gary handled my divorce several years ago but i have had to return to court because of issues with my ex-husband. I have retained Gary's services for each court visit and we have come out of the courtroom victorious each time. Gary has kept me informed and made me feel comfortable and confident about... each court appearance. I would highly recommend Gary and Todd & Weld.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
