Rescued from ignorance of the law

I want to say to everyone how pleased I was with the way that Todd Kaluzny took care of me during my dealings with law enforcement and the law court in my recent case of an automobile accident. This accident was new to me - I had been driving a very long time without an incident, and there was no way... I could have taken care of one as difficult to handle as this one on my own. I would have been completely lost. Instead, I feel I have come out of this with a new friend who can help me in any other dealings I may have with the law. Thank you Todd.

Best Decison!

Hiring Attorney Todd Kaluzny was the best decision I made to have the very best representation for myself in the courtrooms. Mr. Kaluzny advocated for me every step of the way throughout various formal and informal court procedures. The end result kept me out of jail and resulted with the best possi...ble order of probation. Without his extensive knowledge of the laws that could have impacted my case in the worse potential ways, I would have lost many civil freedoms. Instead, today I am able to live my life while maintaining my integrity in all areas of my life. I will always be grateful to Todd Kaluzny for his wisdom and expertise. For anyone considering retaining him to be your attorney, I can safely say, beyond a shadow of doubt you will not regret hiring Mr. Kaluzny!

Overpassed my expectations

Todd Kaluzny was recommended from my divorce attorney when I was in a situation where I had to get help and legal guidance ASAP. Immediately he was there to assist me through my case and I knew with his knowledge of the law and his prior experience in the court system as a former prosecutor I was con...fident in his ability to get me the best possible outcome. He fought for me in court and surpassed my expectations of the outcome of the case which made me very happy.

Client of Mr. Kaluzny

Mr. Kaluzny was the consummate professional. This was my third DUI and the courts was saying it was my fourth but Mr. Kaluzny showed them documentation that it was in fact my third. He attempted to get my charged reduced to a misdemeanor but the courts wouldn’t allow it. He showed the courts everythi...ng I was doing to improve myself and he presented them with information about my mental illnesses and past traumas in order to put certain things in context. He assisted me in receiving the minimum 30 day sentence and probation. I’m really pleased with the services of Mr. Kaluzny and I’d definitely recommend his law firm.

Very Personable, Professional, and Effective!

Mr. Kaluzny has represented me for an assortment of cases, ranging from a DUI to probation violations, and I've never had such peace of mind when it comes to being in a courtroom setting with him. We've really gotten to know each other throughout the years and if I were to come across any further tro...ubles, I know I can count on him and he has my back! Not only do you receive the full attention you need, but you are set with a defense that is strong and will absolutely make an impact on the judge's thought process. Todd has excellent communication skills when talking to a judge or magistrate and has a very strong reputation in the courtroom. I can guarantee if I would've gone with someone else, I would not be in the same position I am today. He's always at his best in or out of the courtroom and let me tell you this, he is THE person you want to have at your side. Throughout the time he has represented me, I don't see why anyone would want a different lawyer! Todd shows compassion to fight for your case, a willingness to listen, fantastic judgment, and a tenuous grasp of the law. He is also quite creative when it comes to finding solutions to help you win your case! Last but not least, Todd shows compassion for his clients that is unmatched by any other representative you could find. He truly makes things easier for his clients and changes lives for the better, including my own!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Todd and i had one of the most difficult divorce cases i have ever been a part of. Our clients had limited resources yet were willing to fight over any and everything, even when it made little to no sense, blinded by their angry for one another. Fortunately, though my adversary, Todd was able to work with his client to get her to reach a peaceful and fair result, to help cool her tempers, and allow her to see the bigger picture. Despite our clients intense emotions, he was always level headed, reasonable, and willing to work on a solution, he was a wonderful attorney to work with, and should I ever need a divorce attorney i know who to call"
