Review Todd Onore

My Angel!

Posted by

I can't put into words the way I feel about Mr. Onore and what he has done for me. As I write this my eyes are fill with water. After 24 plus years dealing with my legal issues with no positive outcome Mr. Onore was able to turn my nightmare around. Not only was he able to get rid of my problems he did it with honesty full communication at all times and never once did he promised something he was not able to achieve. After all those years of feeling trapped and being turned around by other attorneys meeting Mr. Onore was a breath of fresh air. Let me tell you, if you want results this is the man for the job. He will fight for you as if he's fighting for himself.

He’s our Angel!

Posted by

Todd was recommended by a friend. As soon as he heard we needed consult he contacted us right away. We live in NY, however my husband had an open warrant in Boward County since 2003 (violation of probation, poss/distribution of narcotics) We wanted to clear up the warrant so we’re able to travel together as well as potentially relocate to Florida with the next year or two. We explained to Todd our biggest fear is my husband having to turn himself in or have to appear in the Florida court. My husband is under ICE supervision from a previous case and that may cause him to go through the system which we can not endure again. Todd was very emphatic, & optimistic! He mentioned his goal would be to get the warrant dismissed since it’s over 16 years old and my husband has turned his life around with lots of positives, re-married, hard working, etc. He mentioned the most we may have to do is pay court fines/fees. “Will take that, over jail time” Anyway the next day he retrieved a copy of the warrant so he can get an idea of what he was facing @ no cost to us! My hubby & I took a pause so we can really decide our fate, about 2 months later we called Todd and he was @ our service right away, we gave him the green light and just under 2 weeks he tells us that he scheduled a court date! Today Todd called us to say “He was able to get the warrant dismissed” I figured this would be a good Xmas gift for you both! I couldn’t believe it! We did not expect such great news, and so soon. Here in NY cases drags on for a good year or so! He filled our hearts with joy. We are sincerely grateful to Todd, he is an Angel! Emphatic, responsive, not your typical lawyer I must say! We look forward to meeting him in Florida some day so we can celebrate. “Highly recommended”

Our Magician

Posted by

We met Todd when my son Brandon was 17 he's 36 now so do the math lol during our journey with Todd my son has had the opportunity to utilize his Services unfortunately, but I can tell you Todd has worked above and beyond to read between the lines know what's true what's not true and fight for him and my other son as well who has completely changed his life and doing awesome because Todd fixed a problem that was blown so way out of control it could have ruined his life and several other people's lives but like I said he reads between the lines knows what's real knows what's not and I'm telling you he will fight tooth and nail to get the result that is best for the circumstance. He spare with his pricing works with you if you're honest with him and if you tell him the truth and I mean tell him the truth he will not judge you but he will fight for you to be able to change your life and go on and live i... Todd we love you and wish you and your family nothing but the best for the best!

God Sent! Best Attorney!

Posted by

Let me firstly say, God has truly blessed this man with a heart of Gold and passion for what he does. I can not express how grateful I am to had met Todd. Todd is an Attorney who cares about the cases and people he take on. Very Professional, Honest and delivers results. It's always frightening when dealing with something so serious and personal to you and in this case it was a matter of my mom and Aunt case and after 24 plus years of this situation being unresolved Todd has proven to be a man of his word and fought for my mom and aunt as if it was his own hes fighting for. Every call and text message was answered and if he was busy he would be sure to get back to me before that day was out. At no time did he ever misled us about what he was able to do for my mom and Aunt. His honesty was so refreshing. God has truly blessed him with the knowledge of law and passion for people. What Todd did for my mom case truly was a miracle after so many years. Best Attorney ever! trust me He is incredible! I cannot say this enough, He delivers results and has truly been a blessing to my family.

Todd is an awesome down to earth attorney that is not only willing to help, but go above and beyond standard expectations. He was willing to meet my son and get to know him before he decided to take on the case. I really appreciated what he did for my son and me.

Excellent Attorney

Posted by

Todd Onore is an Attorney I would recommend. I received his name from a referral. After interviewing 3 other attorneys, I felt very confident in choosing Todd to represent me. During our free consultation, he meet me in a convenient location for me. He had already reviewed my case and had a copy of all my legal documents compiled on a file ready to discuss my options. He was well aware of my arrest of a felony should have been a misdemeanor and that I was charged with a more severe crime then should have been. He discussed all my options and where to proceed from there. After hiring Todd, he was available for all my questions and concerns at all hours to answer and/or reassure me. When my case came to court, he called to remind me that he would be there, and he was. He called directly after and notified me of the outcome which is exactly what he expected, no contest. We are now in the process of expungement of the record. Todd cared for me (and my mistake) in a professional manner. He was always down to earth and personable. I know I hired the appropriate attorney and would refer him to anyone in need. Thank you Todd Onore!!!

Skillful and Friendly

Posted by

Mr. Todd represented me in a case that I thought would degrade my life. But that wasn't the case ever since I stepped foot in his office he let me feel a sense of confidence in myself. He's very knowledgeable and skillful in his area of work. Not only did he figure out how to reduce charges, but he has also managed to get the charges dropped. He took his time explaining the process and has guided me through it all. He is so down to earth and cares more like a family member would. Not many lawyers would take that kind of time and interest, and all he is simply amazing and affordable!!
