Competent Family Law Attorney

Family breakup is a sad, stress-filled, emotionally draining event. Finding the right attorney who will fight for an equitable solution is really tough. Todd Dwire guided me all the way through. He advised me of my rights. Mediation is the first path TD chooses, and for me, this was how my case was s...ettled, and I did not get left with insurmountable debt, which arises if these matters end up in Court. Todd Dwire expertly maximized my settlement. All is now behind me, and I am so VERY VERY glad I decided to retain Dwire Law.

Transparent

Todd provided an overview of the process at the initial consultation. His open communication and constant updates made this process bearable. He was honest and transparent with options. He provided both sides to potential outcomes. I appreciate his honesty and transparency during difficult discus...sions. His expertise and knowledge was a comfort.

My rock and could not have had a better attorney

Todd helped me with my divorce, custody battle and dealing with my husbands anger issues. He was very strategic, caring, upfront and thought ahead of what possible outcomes could be. He kept me in the loop with everything and always made time for me. If an issue came up, he would handle it immediatel...y and only responded to things if necessary. He kept costs down when he could and would always tell me ahead of time if something was going to come up. I had a 4 day trail over custody. Not only did I get sole legal, I also got everything I wanted and the outcome was entirely in my favor thanks to his hard work, insight, knowledge and savvy handling my husbands attorney. I am also going to use him for my estate planning. I would recommend him to anyone.

Steadfast!

A divorce attorney who sincerely cares about his clients. Truly is a unicorn. I highly recommend hiring him. He has a tough exterior and is somewhat stubborn, but only because he wants to see his clients come out of the horrible circumstances of divorce and be well. Could not have imagined having an...other attorney handle my very frustrating divorce.

Wouldn't Use Anyone Else

Todd has been my family law attorney for several years and he has helped me through multiple cases from divorce to custody modification. Todd is always very direct, upfront, and to the point while effectively communicating the scope of a case and the decisions you will face throughout the process. ...I have never once felt like he was selling me on an improbable outcome or stringing me along for additional money. Todd is also very strong willed, passionate, and effective at both negotiating with opposing counsel and pleading a case. He has always left me feeling like I had a strong advocate that cared about the outcome I received. I have recommended Todd to several friends and associates and those that have used him have been equally pleased and impressed. I can't recommend him highly enough!
