Todd recently tried a serious felony case with me and I can't thank him enough for his help. He caught issues that I would have missed, researched last-minute issues that opposing counsel raised, and helped me strategize throughout. Best of all, we won the case. Todd is a great lawyer and I endorse him whole-heartedly.

Todd is an excellent attorney in our office. He is unmatched at resolving complex cases quickly and effectively. Todd has a unique ability to move a divorce case quickly through the process often keeping the other side on their heels. I would recommend him for any of his practice areas.
