The best in Law

I highly recommend using Todd. He covered my criminal charge and custody. Very professional and he doesn’t beat around the bush.

The Go-To Lawyer

I met Todd Kaluzny through a friend's recommendation. Mr. Kaluzny had been that party's family attorney for a very long time on some severe and hard-to-win cases. What struck me most was not the praise of his technical skills, but rather the party's appreciation of his personable, caring, attentive, ...and empathetic approach. My case was complicated, and my situation was difficult. I needed a reputably good lawyer and I needed one fast. I met with Todd, and we immediately got to work on the case. He listens, takes it all in, takes detailed notes, and analyses accordingly. He does not make unrealistic promises (if any), but rather, assess the facts, leads with realistic approaches, and guides you through the process. Most importantly he truly listens. His calm demeanor had put me at ease, and I started to feel that my fears began to disintegrate. I felt I was in good hands. My case was lengthy, and I needed to be patient through it all. I stayed confident with Todd by my side. In addition to caring for my case, he genuinely cared for my wellbeing and my health. Throughout the case, Todd always got back to me promptly, and he was always available for me. Even when he was on vacation with his family. I got through my case and with Todd's help, we resolved all matters. I am grateful to have met Todd. Although I started by hiring an incredible attorney, I ended up gaining an amazing friend. As always, thank you, Todd.

An Amazing, Awesome Advocate

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Todd Kaluzny in March. He provided me with legal representation on a matter I did not think I would be able to manage on my own. Not only did he assuage my fears of uncertainty, he followed through on the things he said he would in an efficient and effective manner, ...thus highlighting his skills as an experienced and compassionate advocate. Mr. Kaluzny truly cares about his clients and proof of this can be seen in the way he communicates with them, relays to them specific information that they need to know, and follows up with them. His calm demeanor is grounding and his work ethic produces results. I have never had such a positive experience with a lawyer as I have had with Mr. Kaluzny. I would recommend him to everyone I know so they can receive the benefit of his experiences, knowledge, and thoughtfulness. Mr. Kaluzny represents the legal system well since he is guided by his patience, understanding, empathy, and work ethic. His due diligence and dedication to his clients lead to positive results and he goes above and beyond to convey his respect of those around him, legal professionals or not. If more lawyers were like him, individuals seeking help would be truly blessed.

Excellent

I hired Todd Kaluzny to help me with a OWI, he exceeded all expectations. Went above and beyond to fight for me! I highly recommend

God sent me a blessing!

I don’t know where to start so let me just go from the beginning and say that I found Mr. Kaluzny online under “Troy lawyers” and when I found out he was available during the dates I needed I met him ASAP! I was battling a vop and a 1st degree felony for retail fraud. Now he did let me know up front ...that this was going to be a battle but we were going to fight! He was attentive and listened to me precisely. He made sure before every court date he let me know my rights,options and made sure he asked me what I wanted to do. I love that he is selfless and definitely treats his clients like family. So, we went through the motions and in the end both of my results WERE NO JAIL TIME! Now that’s something we all hate to be the outcome but he was able to make sure on both of my serious issues in my life that I was able to keep my freedom and stay home with my kids during this pandemic and even after! One thing I will do in return for Mr. Kaluzny is stay out of trouble and show him he didn’t waste his time. Also, everyone I know in need of any legal help will be referred to him as long as I’m alive. He is the gods of lawyers!

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"
