A brilliant lawyer

Todd is in a class by himself. What impressed me the most about Todd, was his willingness -- and genuine interest -- in my participation and creation of my legal motions. He made me feel like a colleague, sought my opinion and incorporated my of my suggestions. But what I liked best about Todd was... even though he was willing to listen, he also challenged me and even put me in my place when I was becoming "unruly". If you ever have the opportunity to work with Todd, whether as client or colleague, I am certain your words of praise for him will be just as strong as mine.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
