Review M. Tod Melton

Mr. Melton has just successfully completed a 4 year suit for me. There were numerous delays due to COVID, Medicare and more. He never wavered or asked me to settle for a lesser amount. His tenacity and knowledge of the law simply overwhelmed the defense attorney with a large Chicago firm. Tod is among the top personal injury attorneys in the country. Don't let his unassuming demeanor fool you. He is a bulldog.

I have known Tod Melton for over 20 years. I have worked with him on several cases and retained him as co-counsel. Tod Melton is a meticulous, thoughtful, experienced and intelligent attorney. He is one of the most well prepared lawyers I have worked with in my career. Mr. Melton analyzes a case from every perspective and constantly re-examines both the pros and cons of the case. I have been extremely impressed with his legal acumen and lawyering abilities. Just as importantly, he is a kind and compassionate man who cares deeply about his clients.

I referred a case to Tod that my firm could not handle. He kept me well informed and did a terrific job settling the case and achieving justice for our client. I would refer a case to him again with no hesitation.

Given 2 stars only due to my case was not handled properly to get the close to maximum settlement vs similar cases. Had to do some of my own research within similar cases during mediation of low ball offers from the Defendant to come up with how my case should of been done properly. Forgot important topics within my case I had to remind Tod with. Communication was not what I felt it should of been.

James Lawlor, Medical malpractice Attorney on Mar 31, 2021
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Mr. Melton is a rare lawyer in that he is not only an exceptional litigator with decades of favorable results, but also a down to earth, quality human being who relates well with clients, jurors, judges, and, when necessary, opposing counsel. Any client would be well served to be represented by Tod, and referring counsel can feel confident entrusting their cases to him. For these reasons and based on personal experience, I endorse him

Michael Massie, Litigation Attorney on Jun 25, 2019
Relationship: Worked together on matter

A very capable professional with genuine concern about his clients’ best interests before, during, and after litigation.

Mr. Melton is a great attorney. He was referred by a colleague who said he was a great attorney, but I learned it first handing working with him on a case. He got a wonderful result for our client. He is knowledgeable, honest, skilled, and respected in the community. Can’t go wrong with him.
