Thank you

I can’t say enough about the support and representation I received during one of the most difficult times in my life. Todd was straightforward, realistic, and incredibly efficient in navigating a very complex situation involving my incarcerated spouse. What stood out most was how protective and fo...cused he was on ensuring the safety and well-being of both me and my daughter. He didn’t sugarcoat anything, but that honesty helped me make informed decisions and move forward with confidence. He handled everything quickly and professionally, helping me get out of an abusive marriage with clarity and strength. I’m truly grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone facing a challenging divorce situation.

Lawyer for you

I had a very unique situation when it came to my child custody case. Todd was amazing and a real advocate for me. He is very straight forward and lets you know what's a reasonable expectation in your case. As a father fighting for your rights. Todd is your lawyer. He understands it and navigates it w...ith you in a no bs kind of way. Refreshing. Next time I need a lawyer for a family law issue. No thought needed, Todd will be getting a call from me.

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!

Divorce case

Getting a divorce was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but Mr. Dwire did a great job in helping me get through it. He was truly in my corner and was looking out for my best interests. If I didn't understand something he would take the time to explain until I was comfortable with it. ... He would return my calls promptly and keep me updated during the process. There were a lot of difficult issues to be resolved in my divorce case, including child custody and support. He fought for me and got me a good settlement. He did a great job.
