Criminal case

I can’t express enough gratitude for Todd’s exceptional work as my criminal defense lawyer. From the start, Todd demonstrated a level of expertise, professionalism, and dedication that went far beyond my expectations. My case was serious—the state initially offered me 6 years in prison—but thanks to ...Todd’s relentless effort and brilliant negotiation skills, he secured the best possible outcome. Instead of facing jail time, I received 2 years of probation. But Todd didn’t stop there. He was able to work out a deal where, upon completing probation, the state has agreed to terminate it, vacate my plea, and nolle prosse the case, which means I can begin the process of expunging my record. This was truly the best-case scenario, and I owe it all to Todd’s expertise and hard work. Todd’s commitment to his clients is unparalleled. He guided me through every step of the legal process with clarity, confidence, and care. I always felt like he had my best interests at heart, and his ability to navigate complex legal situations is nothing short of impressive. If you are in need of a criminal defense lawyer, I wholeheartedly recommend Todd. He changed my life, and I’m forever grateful for his support and skill.

Excellent Attorney

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!!!

Amazing Lawyer

Almost 10 years ago, I was facing 10 years in prison. I was referred to him by a family friend and he has been amazing ever since. From questions and concerns once I was sentenced to probation, he always answered them and was always patient with me and my family. If you need an attorney who will list...en, be considerate and most importantly, fight for you, this is the person you need in your corner. I am now using him again to finalize the ending of my probation and the expunge of my records.

Todd Saved my Life

I found Todd through a referral. I had spent my life striving to be a top achiever in all of my endeavors and to be the best man that I could. But in a moment of poor judgment I made a mistake that could have turned the trajectory of my life forever. Fresh out of a night in jail with my world ...crashing around me I met with Todd. He immediately made me feel comfortable by listening to me, through his clear command of the subject matter, and through the sense of quiet confidence that he conveyed when speaking to me. I decided to hire him and never looked back on that choice. Throughout the process Todd continued to impress me with his proactive and thoughtful approach to formulating a strategy for my case. He was ahead of his counterparts at every step, and as we gathered more information he refined the strategy and tactics. We even made adjustments based on the individuals that were assigned to the case, based on what we anticipated would be their actions. By not waiting for the prosecutors to make their first moves but rather putting in front of them information about my background and extenuating factors in the case, I believe that Todd was highly instrumental in getting the State to not move forward with the case.. Apart from my surprise, elation, and gratitude over the eventual result (which ended in expungement of my arrest record), I am eternally grateful for the patience and kindness that Todd showed me when I needed informati0n and reassurance over and over again. I never felt like just another case on his docket but rather that he genuinely cared about me and took special pains to get me through this several month process from a legal and mental health perspective. His fees will never be adequate compensation for what he did. Todd strikes me as a completely honest and genuine individual in a profession where one must be selective in seeking advice and making hiring decisions. Todd is a sure bet.

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.
