Todd handled multiple cases for us....

In the first case, Todd handled a case where a family member was charged with possession. Todd diligently went over every aspect of the case. He felt that we had a good chance to get the case thrown out because of things the officers did and didn't do. Todd went to where the officers first spotted my... family member, took pictures of the area and downloaded satellite images to show the layout of the property. Once the case went to trial, Todd brought out the photos and images in court and had the officer running around trying to explain why he thought my family member went out of his way to elude them (he didn't). The officer report stated that they stopped my family member's car because of equipment violation, but Todd was able to prove (with a different officer's car video, the stopping officer's video wasn't working), that there was NOT an equipment violation. After everything was said and done, the judge dismissed the case. The next case (VOP) ended up with Todd getting us a better sentence than expected because he was able to get pertinent information in front of the judge and the sentence reflected that. The last case that Todd handled for us was another possession charge and we drew a very tough judge for this case. Once again, Todd got the pertinent information in front of the judge and the sentencing turned out better than we could expect. Todd seemed to truly care about the well-being of my family member. Not only would Todd continuously keep my family member up to date, he would also keep me update (since the family member gave him permission). I feel that throughout this whole series of events and court cases, Todd really cared about us.

Attorney with heart

Todd represented my daughter on a criminal case that was a very sensitive matter. He made us feel extremely comfortable and had us VERY well prepared on what to expect in the courtroom. My daughter's friend chose a different lawyer to represent her on the same offense. They paid double our cost and ...had a much harsher outcome. I am extremely pleased with our decision to go with Todd. I would highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again should I need an attorney in the future.

"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"
