Todd Slobin: Rockstar A+ Attorney

I consider Todd to be the BEST labor/employment attorney in Houston. Todd goes above and beyond. He is an outstanding, incredible, dedicated, and intelligent attorney. He is honest, fair, realistic, and incredibly experienced in dealing with all matters of employment law. Todd answered all questions ...effectively. Todd advocated for me, strategized for me, and stood by me 110%. He did not pressure me to make any decisions I did not want, gave great guidance and support, helped me see what's possible for my future, and fought for me. I was dealing with a very difficult and stressful work situation, and Todd has changed my life for the better. He kept me completely in the loop and informed at all times and was easy to communicate with. I will not hesitate to recommend him and his firm to everyone I know. Should the need for an employment attorney present itself in the future, I will not hesitate to contact Todd. My experience in working with Todd has far exceeded my expectations. Don't look any further - Todd will exceed your expectations too. I am very lucky to have had Todd representing me!

Director of Sales & Marketing

I was recently let go from my position after 15 years with the company I worked for. I am a 72 year old female with over 30 successful years of experience in my career. I was shocked when this happened to me. A friend of mine recommended Todd to me. She knew I needed someone to stand up for me & ...make sure I received what I deserved. Todd stood beside me , giving me wise counsel and fighting my legal battle for me. As a single senior female , I had no idea how to stand up for myself -- Todd stood for me. He fought for me to receive what I deserved and he walked beside me , encouraging me through out my ordeal. I am ever grateful for his compassion , his wisdom & his willingness to fight my battle even though his financial benefit would be minimal . Todd gave me good advice and was honest and fair in his fee. If you find yourself in an unfair situation with an employer I would highly encourage you to contact Todd Slobin to fight your legal battle for you

Charles' Review of Daryl Sinkule and Todd Slovin

I had the good fortune of being represented by Daryl Sinkule in a class action suit of 5 coworkers including myself. I had no idea whether we had a chance for a favorable verdict or not. I felt early on it was a coin-toss but Daryl educated us not only in the violations against us, but that he was wi...lling to pursue the endeavor - simply in the name of justice. Who still does that? At the time of this writing I have no idea of any monetary awards to me. I only know that justice was served and I have peace from it. Todd was brought in to assist with the trial portion of the liability lawsuit against our previous employer who had miss-classified the appropriate employees as exempt vs non-exempt. Even though the suit had gone on for at least two years, Todd did not rest to uncover evidence - right up until late the night prior to the trials beginning. This paid off, and new evidence was admitted and contributed greatly to the verdict outcome. His coaching approach with plaintiffs, who have never been exposed to the experience of testifying, was confidence-building and prepared us for for what was to come. His timing during the final cross-examinations was spot-on with finesse & poise during the orchestration of his questioning. One of the most encouraging experiences of the trial was the syncopation between Daryl and Todd. Daryl did what he does best, Todd what he does best. Collaboration defined. Kindling trust past the point of just a business relationship has left me grateful, hopeful and empowered - that, not only can I stand up for myself, but that there are others who will stand up beside me.

Strongly recommend this rock star

Todd was incredible to work with. This was my first time being involved in a lawsuit, and Todd was consistently patient with me while explaining everything in layman's terms. He made me feel confident in my own ability to testify. More importantly, I was confident in his abilities in the courtroom, a...nd man oh man did he deliver. What's most important to me is that he and I were aligned and very focused on the moral implications of this case and how they may affect the community at large. I believe that Todd (and his entire firm) values ethics and common decency, and for these reasons there is no doubt that I would hire him again.

An exceptional attorney

I hired Todd as my attorney in a contract labor dispute at the recommendation of my daughter who is also an attorney. Todd was a perfect choice and I couldn't be happier with his representation. He was both honest and fair which I consider to be primary qualifications for an attorney. But his ac...tions were even more impressive as he was dedicated to seeking a just outcome in my case. He was intelligent and knowledgeable and aggressive in representing me. Simply put, Todd was outstanding and anybody seeking legal counsel in employment related matters should put him at the top of their list.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
