review

Todd was recommended to me about a year ago in reference to a case that a dear family member of mine was facing. I was informed of the years he spent working with the district attorney's office and to be quite honest that is what made me give him a second thought; however on our first meeting I began... to feel entirely different to say the least. Although he was extremely polite and informative he seemed so incredibly quiet and almost too polite. I was encouraged by others to just stick with him and that I would not be disappointed. A few months and a few court dates later I got to meet "Todd" the lawyer. The defense attorney at large!!! The man who for so long seemed extremely quiet, withdrawn, and too polite turned into a very polite but unstoppable pit bull. I was watching an entirely different person than the one I had been speaking with for so many months. With reasoning and facts, he brought a 10 to 30 year probable sentence for a non violent crime down to a sentence of less than 2 years. As I left the courtroom in tears of joy; that sweet soft spoken Todd was not far behind me. Never a man of baosting or bragging he saw my complete thankfulness and happiness. On top of the fact that I repeated the words "Thank you" about 20 times as I stood before him in tears. He merely put his arm on my shoulder and let me know that he was happy to be able to help me and my family. It was then that I realized the man who you meet when you hire the attorney is not by any means the man who fights your case for you. I will never be fooled by first impressions again. More recently, another of my loved ones was in need of a defense attorney to clear his good name. I never had to give it a second thought, Todd was the first phone call that we made. Although no one ever wants to need a defense attorney sometimes life just happens and you must have a GREAT defense attorney. Todd Kawecki is that attorney. We are by no means a wealthy family. Todd's retainer was the most reasonable that I had a chance to ever come upon. So I got lucky in that area too. I urge anyone out there who is looking for a great defense attorney to call Todd. He is straight up and he does not sugarcoat anything. He doesn't give hype and he does not make false promises. The years he spent with the district attorney's office have given him a leg up when it comes to defending a client. There aren't enough words to express how completely overwhelmed and impressed that we have been with everything that Todd has accomplished for us. I truly feel that he is anyone's best bet as a defense attorney. Thank you again Todd; because of all the people that read this I do hope that you are one of the first and foremost to read what I was never fortunate enough or been able to say to you. My family and myself wish you only the best in your career. Signed, Toni E.

Excellent Attorney. Would highly recommend Mr. Kawecki.

We have used Mr. Kawecki on three different occasions in the past two years. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable in Criminal Law. He was always available, answered all our questions honestly and thoroughly. He handled our cases in an efficient and timely manner. My daughter had many ch...arges against her (26 felony charges at one point) and with thanks to Mr. Kawecki she is not a convicted felon. He went above and beyond with each and every case. He knew the ins and outs of the law and always let us know what to expect. I would highly recommend Mr. Kawecki to anyone facing criminal charges. We are forever grateful to him for what he has done for our family.

Outstanding and Professional Conduct

Mr. Kawecki handled my case with the up most concern and expedited my case with a great outcome that I was not expecting. He was available for my every call and made me feel at ease at all times. He would answer my questions in a capacity to which I could understand. I would highly recommend Mr. Kaw...ecki for any legal matters. I walked away with only a small court fine and Adjudication withheld. I was fully satisfied with Mr. Kawecki capabilities and his understanding of the legal system. He made a unpleasant situation manageable. I would also like to mention his Secretary, Judy. She was extremely accommodating every step of the way.
