About Todd

I am passionate about what I do.  It is my honor to be a trial lawyer and assist people who have been injured by the negligence of another.  My experience as a medical malpractice attorney gives me unique insights and experience in dealing with any catastrophic injury or death case.   

When you retain me to represent you, you get me, not an associate or an assistant.  I will take full control over every aspect of your case and give it my personal attention.  In my experience, this gives me an advantage over my opponents because I have handled every aspect of your case myself, rather than allowing a less experienced attorney to handle some matters and then try to understand what occurred later.

Review Todd Hendrickson

Dedicated and Hard Working

Posted by

I was very pleased at the amount of attention, dedication, and empathy shown by Mr. Hendrickson regarding my case. The amount of time and effort required for my case was daunting, but Todd did not back down and brought the case to an excellent conclusion. Couldn't be happier.

Empathy & Honesty

Posted by

I highly recommend Todd Henderickson. From my initial consultation with Todd, he was upfront and honest with me. He was understanding and sincerely empathetic to my pain. He treated me like family, and I never felt pressured to make a decision. He always made sure I had all the information, and kept me updated on my case regularly. Todd even went out of his way to assist me after my case was closed. I am very grateful for his hospitality, and highly recommend his practice.

Thank you Todd Hendrickson

Posted by

I am so thankful that we found Todd Hendrickson and he accepted our case. Prior to meeting Todd, we had not been able to find an attorney that could help us. Todd sat down with us and listened intently to our case. He immediately saw the merits of the case and he has worked diligently to find the best resolution for our family. Todd has made a substantially positive difference in our lives. I can give no higher praise than that.

We used services provided by Todd for our son's malpractice lawsuit. Todd was professional yet extremely caring and kind throughout the multiple year suit. We were always well informed throughout each step so that we were never wondering the status. He advised us how to proceed and we were successful with the suit by agreeing to a settlement from the other party. Todd and his team were a delight to work with and I highly recommend to anyone in search of services.

I would highly recommend Mr. Hendrickson for your legal needs. He is very well educated in his field. Our legal needs lasted several years and in that time, Mr. Hendrickson kept us well informed and helped us to make decisions based upon our best interest. He was honest and upfront. We believed he truly cared for our situation. He is very compassionate but also firm and worked hard for justice.

Co-counsel

Posted by

Todd and I tried a case for over two weeks. Todd was one of the most prepared lawyers that I have ever worked with and I have been a lawyer for over 41 years. He tenaciously fought for justice for his client on an extremely difficult case. Since then, it is highly likely that l will be working with Todd on another very difficult case. I look forward to the experience

Hip Revision Case

Posted by

Todd was recommended to me by my Doctor that had performed my revision saying that he was one of the top attorneys he was aware of in his field. I went to Mr. Hendrickson with my case and after a very brief and educational phone call decided to hire him, and I hever regretted it. He was very straight forward explaining my options, how the case would likely work and likely time table up front. Everything happened exactly the way he said it would, and within the timeframe he expected. He provided excellent communication and clearly answered all questions. I always felt like my best interest was very well represented, and was beyond pleased with the outcome of my case and the demeanor in which it was handled. When decisions needed to be made, he explained them to me fully, and made recommendations, but then left the ultimate decision making up to me. I would not hesitate in the least to use Mr. Hendrickson again, or to recommend him to anyone else.
