Excellent Experience with David Todd

David Todd represented us against a company whose truck ran into our car causing substantial damage to our vehicle and injuries with long-term effects. David and his staff were great at communicating and were a pleasure to work with. We were kept up to date promptly on all developments, everything w...as explained to us very clearly, and we never felt pressured or rushed into making decisions. Davis and his team were professional, very friendly, and comfortable to work with. We felt they cared about us and were determined to get us a good settlement. Being involved in a lawsuit is very stressful and never fun, but David helped make everything as easy for us as possible and achieved an outcome we feel satisfied with. We would definitely recommend David to our friends and family and would not hesitate to call him again if the need for his services ever arises.

LS Review of David Todd

David Todd is an excellent attorney! He is compassionate about both the law and his clients. In my case, what appeared to be straight forward soon became more difficult and complicated due to other parties involved. Regardless, David always attempted to resolve the issues as quickly, cleanly, and ...inexpensively as possible. Despite delays by third parties in releasing information and roadblocks thrown up by peculiarities in the law, David persevered until the case was satisfactorily resolved without resorting to a costly court action. At all times, in an unavoidable lengthly process, David kept pursuing ways to resolve my case to my satisfaction. Along the way, if I had any questions, concerns, or frustrations, David would respond. He always kept me informed as to the status of my case. In that regard, David's staff was also very knowledgeable and helpful whenever I had a reason to contact David's office. David is a consummate professional and an excellent attorney dedicated to representing his clients to the best of his considerable ability. I am so happy to have found him when I needed legal help. If you need a lawyer, from personal experience, I can highly recommend David Todd!

Honesty, Trustworthy and by your side!!

If you or someone you know has had a personal injury and do not know where or who to turn to I can only suggest the Todd Law Firm! About a year ago a dog had bitten off a good chunk of my chin leaving me scared for life, the owners insurance gave me the run around and found the Todd Law Firm on a rev...iew site. From the first time I sat down with David I knew he wasn't blowing smoke and he actually cared about getting me what I deserved, this was all new to me and he kept me up to date on everything that was going on. I have total faith in them and they WILL take care of you!!! Thank you for helping me 100% and +1 or 10/10!!!!!!!

Personal injury lawyer | Jun 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the very good fortune of being introduced to David Todd several years ago to work as co-counsel with me on a head injury case for a child injured in a Texas daycare. Over the past several years that we have been working on the case, David has been hardworking, honest and extremely skillful as a lawyer working for this injured child. Correcting an injustice for an injured person requires a unique skillset - not just in the courtroom, but also the ability to get along with all parties involved (defense attorneys, insurance adjusters, etc.) while keeping focused on the end result - helping the injured person move forward with his or her life with a feeling that they did what they could to stand up for themselves - with the help of their lawyer. David is exactly that guy. He cares and he gets it. I would wholeheartedly recommend David Todd to anyone looking for a Texas personal injury lawyer - and I will certainly be calling him to work with me on my next case in Texas."

"David Todd is an honorable human being who brings that strength to his work and provides legal services to his clients in a diligent and worthy manner, yet also remembering to maintain the respect and dignity of the process, including his adversaries. I was particularly impressed with his desire to, and ability, to recently master the Spanish language I fully support and endorse this lawyer's work.
