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%.

Gary has kept me informed and made me feel comfortable and confident about each court appearance. I would highly recommend Gary and Todd & Weld.
