Todd Kaluzny is the lawyer you want representing you

Todd is the lawyer who you want when you’re going through a difficult situation. I hired him to help with my divorce & he listened supportively and provided insight and true care during one of the hardest times of my life. I can honestly say that I felt taken care of by Todd. He always made time to ...answer my questions and talk me through the process. He used his experience to help me anticipate what next steps would likely look like while always showing compassion. I can’t recommend Todd highly enough. He’s humble and smart and genuinely a really good person while also being a fantastic lawyer. If you find yourself in need of a family law attorney, give Todd a call. He is who you want representing you.

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.

Amazing Attorney and Amazing Person

Mr. Todd Kaluzny represented me in both family court and criminal court for separate matters. He is not only an extremely thorough, well-versed, experienced and highly intelligent person especially in all legal matters, but he is an extremely kind and understanding person as well. He spent a great ...deal of time working one on one with me for my cases and, while his main focus is on the legal preparations for the courtroom, he always took the time to answer any and all questions I had. He was very straightforward and honest with his answers, which I appreciated because it helped me in the decisions I needed to make as things proceeded and also allowed me to be as prepared for the situations as possible. He was also very reassuring that I would make it through the process and it was an extreme comfort to know I had (and have) him in my corner for the previous matters I needed his counsel for as well as any future matters that may require legal counsel in the future. And having an attorney that is so well versed is so many aspects of the law is extremely helpful! Also, if for some reason, he doesn't already have the answer or it happens to not be an area of law he specializes in, he always seems to have a contact (usually on speed dial) that knows the answer or does specialize in the area of expertise you may require. Mr. Kaluzny is not only an incredible and very talented attorney, but he makes you feel like you have a friend in him as well which is not something you find often in attorneys. I can't recommend this man enough and I could go on much longer in my praise so I'll end here and simply say: if you need legal representation then Mr. Kaluzny is who you should call. I, personally, couldn't be happier with my own experience.

Todd Kaluzny

If terms of professionalism and expertise in family law Todd is one of the best attorneys in the area. His attention to detail and customer service are unsurpassed. He even rescheduled a personal commitment to solve critical issues I was faced with. He cleaned up messes created by other attorneys tha...t I had used and never complained or over charged . I should have used him immediately when I encountered my legal issues.

"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"
