Excellent attorney for my son

I hired Todd to represent my son, who got into some trouble at Michigan State. Todd was very professional and knowledgeable. He always promptly returned my calls and advised me of what was going on. The outcome in my son's case was so good that it even surprised me. I know a lot of attorneys pers...onally, as I work for a law firm, and I can say, without reservation, that Todd is someone who I would highly recommend for any criminal matter.

Best Lawyer

I'm not going to lie, throughout my case I was a bit worried but at each and every turn Todd was there for me and always knew what to do. I would have never made it through the case without him. Other than being marvelously kind, he is easily one of the smartest men I know. We hired him with no hesit...ation after hearing an already outstanding review on him which he met in EVERY way. Now that the case is over, I couldn't imagine it any other way. Thank you SO much Todd!! I'm so glad I pulled through with you by my side and consider myself very lucky to have you as my lawyer, which is simply put, the best lawyer I know.

He has an incredible understanding of the law and gave me the best advice right from the start of my case. It's because of his work and advice t...hat I got the best results possible! Thank you Todd!!

Extremely Satisfied

Todd assisted us with a complicated legal matter over the span of a year that had potentially severe consequences. We are very satisfied with how Todd handled our case and we strongly believe that he achieved the best outcome based on our situation. It was clear from watching Todd during numerous cou...rt appearances that he is not only an experienced litigator, but an attorney that is extremely knowledgeable of the law, understands how the system works and is a skilled legal strategist. In addition to devising a very effective legal strategy for our case, Todd also had the experience to execute it to maximum effect. Just as importantly, throughout the entire process Todd kept us informed. He clearly and concisely explained what options were available, the pros and cons of each option and his strategy for achieving the optimum outcome. He was extremely patient with us and made himself available and accessible to answer our questions. When he was not immediately available, he got back to us very promptly. This in itself offered us incredible peace of mind and we cannot thank him enough for taking the time to be there for us and to answer our questions. Being involved in a serious legal matter is one of the most stressful things anyone can go through. Having a skilled and experienced attorney who knows his way around the system and who has the compassion to view his clients as people makes the process much more bearable and significantly increases the chances of a positive outcome. We would recommend Todd to anyone who is unfortunate enough to be in a similar situation.

A true leader in his art......

Thanks again so much for all of your assistance in my case. I truly knew I had the best person on my case. I was so happy when the Judge said "Not Guilty". Although the case dragged out for a good 3-4 months and despite all the stress I had put on myself I remained having all the confidence in th...e world in you. Especially when a certain X-prosecutor friend of mine of mine told me how good you were. I knew at that point I had the best man on the case. I can't tell you how much appreciation I have for all your help. If I ever needed another lawyer in the future believe me I have you on speed dial. You truly didn't miss a thing and I still can't believe the extra lengths you went to in my defense. I am forever grateful.. I take great honor in writing this because you're not just my attorney anymore but a very caring and dear friend. Thanks again Todd. You truly are a remarkable lawyer. Keep up the great work. I know we'll all hear a lot more of great things from you in the future....... God Bless!!!!!

"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"
