I have been the lawyer on the other side of Todd's cases for more than 30 years. He is and always has been VERY tough competition. Smart, honest and hard working. Never misses anything on his cases and always goes the extra mile for his clients. When I see he is on the case, I know I need to be on my toes! I can easily endorse this attorney.
Keith Theisen, Workers compensation Attorney on Dec 17, 2020
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I work on the opposite side of cases from Mr. Trucks. I find him to be very knowledgeable about worker's compensation, prepared in terms of knowing the case and it's value, and always an advocate for his clients. I would certainly trust him to represent my family in theses types of cases.
Walter Noeske, Workers compensation Attorney on Dec 17, 2020
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Trucks is highly professional, dedicated, responsive and well regarded in our legal community.
Marvin Baisel, Workers compensation Attorney on Nov 29, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I have had numerous matters against Todd over the past 15+ years. He is always well prepared, exhibits the highest ethical standards, and is a tireless and fearless advocate for all of his clients, at a point in their lives where they really need someone to fight on their behalf. Whenever a friend or relative asks me to recommend a workers compensation attorney to represent them, I always give them Todd's name. I endorse Todd without hesitation.
