Todd A. Bussert's Lawyer Endorsements
"I first met Todd many years ago when he was a speaker at a federal sentencing seminar on BOP issues. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has become the go-to person for lawyers who need information or insight on the BOP. I have also been fortunate to work with Todd on a federal mater. Todd is super smart, a skilled brief writer and an all around terrific lawyer. He is hard working and unwaveringly ethical. He is the first person I would call if I needed to refer a client to a lawyer in CT or to someone with expertise in BOP issues."
"As the current President of the Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, I endorse Attorney Bussert. Attorney Bussert is a member in good standing in our organization and a well regarded criminal defense lawyer in the state. He has shown a passion for criminal defense issues and zealously defends people charged with criminal offenses."
"I endorse Todd. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Todd is a terrific lawyer with vast knowledge of the federal criminal justice system and the workings of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He works diligently in defense of his clients and achieves great results for them as a result."
