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.

One of the best Attorney's in the business!!

I would definitely recommend Todd, as being your first and foremost contact, for any legal matter. He holds a very high level of professionalism, and will communicate with you directly on a personal basis. He will clearly define, what your faced with, and make no false promises to what he's capable... of achieving. But will get you the best result possible. Most lawyers are looking to capitalize, based on your financial ability! Todd deals with you directly on a humanitarian basis! Anyone needing legal assistance! Todd should be your first call for any legal matter. I keep his number close to me, for all future legal matters (Hopefully, I will never need it), but its nice to know, that I have someone I can trust for upfront honest information. This lawyer, is truly a rockstar! I have dealt with different attorney's in the past, and paid tons of money for legal representation. And wish I had of been able to give all of it to Todd! Good representation is truly hard to find. So I implore anyone needing legal help to contact Todd Kaluzny immediately! He will direct and guide you through any legal matter. And will resolve your case, as quickly as possible, alleviating all stress. He will not make any false promises, but will dedicate himself to doing the best that he can, and will communicate with you all along the way. (Not just a day before a court proceeding). I would recommend Todd to anyone needing legal help! Even if you don't have a legal matter pending, you should call Todd, and retain him for any near future concerns! (I will make sure, that I always have Todd's number by my side! In closing: Thanks Todd for all your help, hopefully I won't ever need you again, but I will make sure, that everyone I know, is aware of your legal expertise!!!!

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.

Excellent Service

Mr. Kaluzny did an excellent job with my situation. He provided information on what would happen each step of the way and provided sound guidance on how to handle and prepare for each situation. He suggested some things I could do to be proactive in my case which helped get a sentence less than tha...t recommended from the probation officer. I highly recommend Mr. Kaluzny for any criminal defense needs.

Awesome!

Mr. Kaluzny is well worth every penny! Todd helped me keep my license, when I thought for sure it was going to be revoked! Todd would answer my questions through, email, phone, and text at anytime. He would even call me to check up on me during his own vacation! He is an honest person and I would rec...ommend him to anyone. If I ever get in anymore trouble he's my first call!

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"
