Does things his way, not yours

When I first met with Attorney Basler, he gave me the impression that he would work WITH me and fight for my mission of having more time with my son, as he was in an unhealthy relationship with his father. I presented very clear evidence of the bad behaviors from the father, which the guardian ad li...tem also found to be a concern. Despite presenting this evidence to Attorney Basler, he decided to not include this evidence in court, which although I was quite surprised about, I trusted him on. He appeared very confident to me but also condescending when I questioned why the information I wanted to present wasn't worth presenting. I understand that he is the legal professional, but he did not take into account the area that I am well-versed in, which is knowing my son and his situation. I do strongly believe that the information I presented would be important for the judge to know. The judge ultimately did not make a favorable decision for my son, and I am sure that this will impact my son's life in a negative way. I think that if the evidence I wished to present was given, the outcome would have been much different. I will say that Attorney Basler has a confident manner in court, and this may sometimes work in his favor. I cannot recommend Attorney Basler, but do recommend that you find an attorney that works with you, rather than going their own way and assuming that they know what's best for you and your loved ones.

Dear anonymous, I cannot remember a case in the last 26 years which remotely resembles the scenario you present in this review. However, custody and physical placement cases are emotionally difficult for all parties involved. Before I ever go to court, all evidence is reviewed and discussed with my clients and we agree on what should be presented and why. We go to court fully prepared and "on the same page". Simply because someone retains my services does not mean that I will agree that what they want me to advocate for is morally right or in the best interests of the child involved. As I have explained many times, my profession is full of "yes" lawyers who will do whatever a client asks whether it is right or not, simply because a client pays them and tells them to do so. I will never be that kind of an attorney. I will never take a stance when arguing to a court or presenting evidence that I do not believe in my heart is right and in the best interest of the child involved. Whomever you are, I hope you get the help you need to improve your child's life and feel free to call me anytime to discuss your actual situation and perspective.

Great service!

Attorney Basler guided me through the process of my divorce. He had my best interests at heart and listened to what I had to say. Attorney Basler and his assistant were efficient, communicative, and thorough. I would highly recommend Todd Basler to assist other in their future legal needs.

Highly Recommend!

Attorney Todd Basler represented me for my divorce. Todd is extremely knowledgeable in all areas surrounding a divorce. The level of professionalism was outstanding. Todd showed compassion and kindness as well as helped me to see the humor in certain aspects of the case. Every phone call and emai...l was promptly returned. We were able to settle before trial and I walked away from that completely satisfied. Todd truly cares about his clients and it shows in everything he does. He will fight for you. I recommend Todd with the knowledge that he will do everything he can for you and your case; you will not be disappointed.

Personal Injury Due To Car Accident

Attorney Todd Basler worked tirelessly for many years to settle my injury from a car accident. Not only did he provide his professional expertise, Todd showed compassion and friendship during a most difficult time of surgery and recovery. My case ended up going to trial. I saw first hand Todd's work ...in the courtroom. He was amazing. Todds professionalism along with his deep knowledge of personal injuries due to accidents, determination for truth and compassion telling my story..we won my case. I recommend Todd with true respect and a grateful heart.

"I endorse this lawyer. As a divorce mediator the last 2 years and a judge the 22 years before that, I have watched Todd work. He is thorough and aggressive. High integrity."

Personal injury lawyer | Aug 10

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Todd is a true champion and advocate for his clients. Some lawyers are reluctant to file lawsuits and take a case to trial because it means more work for them. Instead, they will attempt to persuade their clients to take whatever the insurance company's final offer is. Todd is not one of those lawyers. If he does not believe the insurance company is being fair, he will tell his client that, and is willing to do the hard work necessary to either get the insurance company to change its position or else go through a trial to have a jury show the insurance company the error of its ways."
