Recommendation

I retained Mr. Todd Onore to represent my son who had NON violent felony charges which were unfortunately many due to his drug addiction. Mr. Onore not only saved him from maximum 35 years in prison but got him a mandatory 1 yr drug rehabilitation with 5 years probation. He also spoke into my son's... life with hope and restoration for a bright future if he does what he needs to do. It was amazing to me to have Mr. Onore who worked hard but also took time to give wise counsel to my son. I highly recommend him!!

Best Lawyer

Hands down the best lawyer in town. Never had a lawyer be so patient, so professional, but yet like a friend at the same time. Mr. Onore took his time to get to know me and my family and he goes above and beyond for his clients. Best choice I made hiring him.

*******Execellent Lawyer*******

Over the past 3 years I was blessed to be represented by Todd Onore. When I was charged and facing an incarcerated period of time that would impact my life drastically with little knowledge of the legal system, Todd assisted me in so many ways through out the legal battle I was facing. Todd is a know...ledgable and patient attorney. His experience in the legal system and knowing I had him on my side fighting for me kept my mind at ease. At no point did he give up on me, or my case. When I initially retained him I explained I wanted to take the case to trial from the beginning he was willing to go all the way with me and ensure all Legal defenses were taken on my behalf. At that time Todd said this is "my number I am available 24/7". As a Veteran with PTSD Todd was there for me as a friend as well, through the whole case answering any questions and making time to meet with me to keep my me calm. Todd believed in my case and cared about the outcome of my case. My gratitude of Todd's expertise in the legal field cannot be expressed in words. The time and dedication he took, researching, assisting in finding and locating witnesses, as well as expert witnesses being retained, traveling for hearing dates out of his local area is beyond what you would expect from an average attorney. Todd was consistent, followed through and seen the case to the end by my side as my legal counsel and friend. As I have mentioned this was my first encounter with any legal issues and I hope not to ever be again. Todd took the time to explain the whole process to me possible outcomes and prepare for the worst outcome as I prayed for the best. Todd is someone that I believe was God sent as angel to speak on my behalf and guard me during this difficult endure and that is exactly what he did. I could not be more pleased with his professionalism from the process, timing, and to the outcome of my case. When we went to trial we were prepared on all aspects at no point was he caught off guard, or not able to handle anything that occurred. Todd made sure my rights were protected and my trial was fair, from the jury selection on. What touched my heart the most is Todd is aware of my faith and belief in God he took the time while my aniexty and PTSD was getting the better of me awaiting the jury's verdict and prayed with me in front of the court house. This is a man that truly has a heart of gold and passion for his job. Thank you Todd for all you have done and for becoming my friend through sucj a difficult time in my life. I owe you man!!!!

Poffessional beyond belief.....

I really don't know where to start in describing a wonderful caring guy like Todd. 6 years ago I found myself in quite the legal trouble and started to seek legal advise and the best thing that could have happened to me was that I found Todd Onore. This gentleman and his staff were with me thru the... entire process every step of the way, not just legally but were very caring as to really what was happening in my life, as I mentioned my troubles started 6 years ago but I was also a severe alcoholic at the times of my troubles, on many occasions Todd dropped his legal profession to get personal with me and to discuss my heath issues associated with my drinking as well as what this was doing to my family, my job, my friends, who does that, most people would say oh, they just want your money, well not in Todd Onore's case. So his caring and support not only made me think more seriously about my legal troubles but also opened my eyes to how life should be, of course I did most of this on my own as stopping drinking but with his view and conversation made me realise that if i didn't stop my legal matters would just get worse and they almost did but Todd stepped up in court one day a made sure that I did not go to jail on the spot because I easily could have. All in all in's not all about me it's about having not only and extremely professional on your side and someone that you are not just another client and I will be happy to say that the case went well and I will be sober 6 years come this October and I still to talk with Todd on occasion and you can hear the joy in his voice knowing that after all we went thru I came out a different man. I can't thank him and his staff enough.......

epitome of criminal defense!

Not only is Mr. Onore extremely knowledgeable about every case he has represented me on but he is very personable, fair, and will fight for you and your rights until the very end whether the judge likes his argument or not. if I am ever in a jam again there is no doubt in my mind I would call Mr. Ono...re again.
