Top notch attorney

Todd is amazing at what he goes all the way for his clients and leaves the court room speechless , he takes on your case and actually cares he will always make sure you understand everything and make sure you know all your options and leaves you with your best outcome , I’ve known him and his dad for... years and they treat you more like family and have good standing with the courts he’s very good at what he does, if you need an attorney that will fight for you hire him he’s a shark in the court room!

Good Results

Absolutely best lawyer hands down that I’ve ever had. Todd has gone above and beyond to make sure I had a fair disposition and actually took a lot of time out of his day to carefully explain the court proceedings.He was also easy to reach and filed my court documents in a timely fashion.

Wonderful lawyer

Todd did a wonderful job on my case, I couldn't have asked anything more from him. He went above and beyond, I was very sceptical of how the outcome would be because of how long I had been away from the court. Todd helped me peice together every event that I had and every outstanding thing I did in t...he time period of 2 years. After getting all fhat information together it was put into chronological order and looked wonderful. When we went before the judge he was very articulate and knew the exact "legal" words to use and got me the absolute best outcome. I could not have asked for a better lawyer, he was the blessing that I needed and wouldn't never ever think twice about using him again. Thank you for all your help.

STRONGLY recommend

To Those Accused, I STRONGLY recommend Todd Kaluzny to represent you in matters of criminal law in Michigan. I myself, being a victim of home invasion in another state, purchased a pistol to defend myself in the home. At a routine traffic stop near my apartment in Rochester, I immediately d...isclosed to the Deputy having this firearm in my vehicle. Not having gotten my CPL yet, I was arrested and charged with a FELONY of concealed carry! Suffice it to say, and I had no defense against these charges. My case was assigned to district court 52-3. Everyone from the guys in jail, to the police, to a variety of attorneys told me I was before one of the toughest courts, and one of the most unforgiving judges in the state. Fearing the blindness of justice, and the sword, I sought out six attorneys; all of them advising me the situation could get nasty. Some of these attorneys seemed disinterested, some too busy for my case, and some had outrageous fees I simply could not afford; I was honestly in despair. A friend recommended Todd. He seemed the best choice because of his focus on criminal law, more than 20 years experience, and previous experience as a criminal prosecutor in Michigan. In addition, his father is a criminal defense attorney, so I reasoned he would have a good advisor if necessary. In the course of things Todd always had patience for numberless questions, always answered the phone & was immediately available, and was always on time to court and meetings. He never sugar coated the situation, but also showed the optimism we could get my charges reduced to a misdemeanor. The prosecutor agreed to a reduction, and after presenting the facts of the incident & mitigating circumstances to the judge, she remarked "Mr. Kaluzny your word is always good in this courtroom, and I want to move immediately to sentencing, giving the minimum sentence of a $100 fine". I was SO relieved! Afterwards, waiting at the clerk's window, two of Todd's colleagues who were present in the courtroom congratulated us on achieving the surprise leniency from this judge. For just a moment, I could see a crown of glory shine. Thank You Todd. SINCERELY - Jonathan

Excellent. Highly recommended

Todd is the best. He is honest, professional, great at his job and also a really nice guy. He's represented me for a couple years now and I would recommend him to anyone. Even in court, the other attorneys rave about him. One attorney approached me in the courthouse and said I was in excellent hands ...and that Todd never loses a case. For me, that has been true.

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"
