Straightforward sound advice and action

As a former prosecutor, Todd knows the ins and outs of the criminal legal process and always has straightforward answers to my questions. He gives clear advice and recommendations and he does what he says he's going to do.

*******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!!!!

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.

Todd Onore--Knowledgeable, Compassionate and Diligent

Mr. Onore, or Todd as he prefers, demonstrated extraordinary expertise when handling a criminal defense case that he was retained for. Informative and compassionate, he diligently took all measures to, not only secure the best possible actions on behalf of his clients, but he did so while keeping us... informed, and calmly assured that he had everything under control. Mr. Onore is not an attorney that is only available from 9-5. Conversely, he ensures dependable, timely communication when his client needs it. Mr. Onore preserves honest, reliable advice necessary while someone is placing his/her life and future in Todd's hands. Mr. Onore was able to have the charges dismissed, and expunged, because he truly believed in his client and had the proficiency to accomplish the goal. His passion and zest for his job will seek no less than the best resolution. There are many lawyers that make promises; however, Mr. Onore completes his task expediently, confidently and successfully. What he says, HE DOES in a most timely fashion. His expertise are widely known throughout the judicial system as can be witnessed in the numerable people that respect him throughout the fields of defense, prosecution and judicial. While an attorney is a person that one hopes never to see again once the case is over, Todd is someone that one hopes to meet under better circumstances simply to afford the opportunity to show enduring gratitude. His services, and the relationship that he develops with his client, are second to NONE. Whether retaining an attorney for yourself, or a family member close to you, Mr. Onore is the first and best step to begin your journey.
