Todd Douglas Severt

Todd handled my divorce and custody. He did an outstanding job. He was attentive and honest. He told he through the process everything that was happening, everything that was going to happen, and how it would all most likely end. He was spot on. I do and have recommended him to multiple people w...ho have had similar experiences.

My wife and I hired Todd to represent us going after custody of 2 boys in our neighborhood that were not being cared for by their parent. Todd did and amazing job we won the case. Got the boys, got them though high school, medical updated. Now they are in college and living on their own! I can't... recommend Todd enough.

I have hired Todd twice. Both times, he did an amazing job! My divorce was the first time. My ex was an abusive addict and he was able to help me gain custody and be able to care for my kids. The second time was to gain custody of 2 teenagers who came from a pretty rough background. To the person ...who said he never goes to trial- he went to trial for us! And he was amazing!! He is by far the BEST family law attorney in Miami County!

Todd talks a big game and really knows how to hype you up. I genuinely believed he was going to help me. I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. While I can’t recall his exact hourly rate, it was extremely high—plus, you also pay for the other lawyers who assist him, paralegals, secretaries, black-and...-white copies, and even more for color copies. When you actually need help, it’s nearly impossible to get it. I make decent money, but after just one week with him, I nearly lost my entire month’s salary. He had me come into the office the day before my custody trial for a few hours of preparation, hyping me up the whole time. The next day at the trial, my side wasn’t heard. I was left alone in a room from 9 a.m. until late that evening. There was no change in circumstances to justify altering the order, yet he didn’t fight for me. Instead, he bullied me into giving in and agreeing to everything the other side wanted. When I pushed back, he threatened, “Then I’ll fire you.” Later, I found out from another attorney that Todd hadn’t actually been to a trial in years and always pressures his clients to settle.
