Great Lawyer!!!

AMAZING ATTORNEY IN FLORIDA

Mr. Onore is such an amazing and professional attorney. He is compassionate and caring. He was referred to me by a friend and the moment I met him I knew that he was not only an honest man but a man of his word. After hiring Todd, he promised to fight for me the entire time to get me the best plea deal and I must say, he truly kept his promise. Even after my sentencing was completed he still kept in contact with me providing me with good advise and cared about my well-being. If you are looking for the best deal ever, I highly recommend Todd Onore to fight for you with your case !

Thank God for Todd!!

Todd represented my son in a burglary case he participated in when he was 18. It caught up to him several years later. The crime had a sentencing guideline of prison. Todd was AMAZING! He managed to negotiate probation for my son. Unfortunately, my son managed to violate his probation after serving 14 months by obtaining a new charge in another county in Florida. Todd's expert advice and knowledge of the law truly helped. Todd managed to have my son's new charge reduced and to have his sentence for the VOP as time served ( my son had spent several months in jail in not one, but 2 counties. To my amazement he managed to have the violation in Broward County sentence also reduced to time served and his probation reinstated. My family and I are grateful and so thankful for Mr. Onore. I never spoke with a secretary, it was always. Todd. He answers your calls, texts and questions. He was always available to speak with us. I highly reccommend Mr. Onore for any legal issues you may have. If Todd can't do it, no one can. We love you Todd!! There aren't enough stars to rate him he is definitely worth more than 5 stars.

Best Lawyer Ever

I retained mr Onore a few months into my case and I wish I had him the entire time! He’s very professional and my favorite thing is that he’s straight forward with you. He tells you what you need to succeed in the courtroom and he’s right! Thank you for having me avoid jail time!

My great attorney

Todd was an amazing and caring attorney. My charges were not dropped but he got me the best outcome for my dui manslaughter charge. I am so grateful God placed this man in my life. Even when I finished my prison sentence he was still there for me and still willing to help me out anyway possible. I am grateful and blessed to have him as my attorney. Professional and educated help. I recommend him to any one who truly needs help.

Todd is a Good guy and Great Attorney!

My Charges were dropped Thanks to Todd He understands the legal system and used that knowledge to allow me to continue going forward with my life and not having to deal with the issues of going back and forth to Courthouse, missing work, etc. He always texted or called me right back and even though he is a very busy man. Todd is truly a Nice Human Being and not just your typical money driven Lawyer. I call over a dozens Attorney's and Todd was the only lawyer to say "before I quote you a price, Let get some additional information about your case from the State", which he did before I paid him. He wasn't just saying Pay me first than I will make some calls on your behalf. He Made a couple of calls first! I was honestly impressed by this act and hired him based off of this and his reputation & reviews online. I made the correct decision in Hiring Todd Onore to represent me. Bobby R.

TODD IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! I GIVE HIM 20 STARS!!

Todd was amazing FROM START TO END!! From the moment my family and I met we immediately felt comfortable in knowing he was the right man for the case. He was very responsive, compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable and communicative. Not to mention he was fair in his pricing! We all know how weary and time consuming it can be going to court every few weeks. As me moved forward in the case he allowed my family and I to jump on Zoom while he physically represented my nephew in court. My nephew was facing first degree attempted murder charges and the case was COMPLETELY DISMISSED!! He did a great job!! I pray I will never need to hire a lawyer again but I do TODD IS MY GO TO PERSON!

Outstanding Outcome

I hired Todd to assist a friend now living in Texas, who had prior charges (years before the pandemic) and a felony warrant from Florida. Todd first got the warrant dismissed, and then in just one trip back to Florida, Todd was able to get him time served and no probation. This was really a great outcome for my friend.

Great attorney ever

Todd might be the best attorney ever. From to second we spoke I knew that I was in safe hands. He’s on top of everything, takes to the time to explain everything to you and makes sure you understand. He found previous cases related to my case allowing me to get the best outcome of my situation. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Outstanding Lawyer

Todd is an outstanding lawyer, from the first phone call I made to him I knew instantly he is extremely knowledgeable and would be the right person for the situation. He was very understanding and was genuinely concerned for my family's well being. His expertise guided us through a process we were unfamiliar with and answered all our questions with details and patience. He responded to us in a timely manner which my family and I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

He did everything he promised and got me the best deal the judge would allow. He also took time to explain everything, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood.

Understanding Relationships and Valued Friendships

My wife and I have been through life, Todd understands that. He has been exemplary in personally knowing his clients and helping them through difficult times, whether it could be for the best or the worst for the relationship, he continues to care for each person individually and recognizes that in the presence of the legal system. His comradery with those involved in the legal system is unprecedented and will assist you in a prospective outcome if your situation sits in a grey area. He is here to help, not a cash grab... and to me, through unfortunately 2 situations, he is a dear friend to my wife and I. He can help and guide you to the right way to get everything back on track even after the case.

Excellent attorney

Nothing but good comes from this man! Excellent personality always prompt and ready and also extremely organized. His years of experience in law shows every step of the way. I even give him a call just for things outside of criminal cases if I need any recommendation to other lawyers for different matters. I’ve been a client of his for almost three years now and he has been an extreme help to me with the most difficult journey in my life, every step of the way I have been taken care of with no issues. I recommend him to everyone I know that may need a lawyer. I’ve never consulted with a secretary, He contacts me directly which I love because it has built a huge lawyer client relationship and has made me more comfortable and confident with him as my defense attorney! Extremely appreciative of Mr. Onore!

Excellent Professional Attorney

Todd was hired to help me resole old Violation of Probation and pending Warrant. Since nearly 20 years I have live out of the country and I wanted to sort that old pending case. When I have first contacted Todd, he answered all my questions and concerns in very professional manner. He was in continuous contact and communication with me during all that time despite I do not live in U.S. at present. He manage to dismiss both pending Warrant and VOP. I am incredibly delighted to give him that 5 star recommendation and I can strongly recommend him for anyone who needs legal assistance. Thank you again I really appreciate for your hard work on sorting my case!

A Mother

Todd was an amazing attorney for my son. Living in Ohio and having my son live so far away in Florida was extremely hard for me. Todd always took the time I needed as a mom to answer as many questions and understood my concerns and what was best for my son. Having an addict for a son who is an amazing human sober to turning criminal in active addiction is heartbreaking. Todd represented my son with a heart of compassion but also upholding the law of which my son needed some hard lessons in. I would highly recommend Todd to anyone looking for an attorney who genuinely cares for his clients but also the State of Florida law.

Highly recommend

Todd was hired to help a family member navigate through an injunction and we are certainly glad he was there to help. Amazingly he promptly returned calls, answered questions, and was there for us from start to finish. His expertise and calm, reassuring demeanor made this stressful problem much less stressful. Todd is incredibly professional and polite and that was demonstrated at all times even when the other attorney was not. He was successful in his presentation, for which we are very grateful. We would highly recommend Todd to anyone in need of legal assistance…five stars most definitely!

INCREDIBLE PROFESSIONAL

He defended my case like a pro. He gave me choices as the case /trial advance, always looking for what was reasonable and obtainable to win the case in the court room. He turned my felony into a misdemeanor after a lot of work with the prosecutor/state. He is approachable, extreme knowledgeable, available and explain the best way to win in court. Thank you for your support. Brilliant.
