Todd Lorin Melnik

I hired him before on a different case. I filed bankruptcy. I owed money to someone he knew and he called me angry about the debt. He asking me why I did that. I told him I had to file bankruptcy. Later he called me to his house to help him with something. And that's when it happened. His dog attack...ed me at his house in Woodland Hills and he's acted like it didn't happen. His two daughters were sitting on the couch and watched the whole thing happen. All they did was laugh. When I was on the ground in pain, he asked, wasn't it your birthday yestoday? And I said yes and he said Happy Birthday. In court they awarded me $50,000 pain and suffering but nothing for my medical. My medical bills were over $50,000. I ended up with nothing but pain. He's a true gangster.

My experience with Todd Melnik was wonderful! From the very first appt, Todd made me feel comfortable starting with his warm and caring attitude. I was very impressed with how my case was handled. And in the court I was not even asked a question due to the work that Todd Melnik had put into this cas...e. He was easy to get a hold of and very informative. If I ever need another criminal attorney I will not think twice before calling him. I highly recommend Todd Melnik to anyone who requires legal representation.

I hired Todd to have an old juvenile record of mine selaed. Todd immediately looked in to the matter and got back to me within a few hours. He told me that it was usually a 6 month process to have everything sealed and completed. I told him the urgency I was facing and he said he would see what he co...uld do. Over the next 4 weeks Todd worked tirelessly to have my files brought out of the archives so they could be sealed. All while staying in constant contact with me. After using some of his connections at the DA and the juvenile court, Todd was able to have my file sealed 5 months ahead of schedule! Todd is a friendly and easy to talk to lawyer who is truly willing to go above and beyond what is expected for his clients. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend Todd to anyone in need of his expertise.

One of the biggest mistakes I made in was hiring Todd melnik, He might only be good for a traffic lawyer but for a criminal case? I don't think so! Always asks about money before he tells you any news! Doesn't have knowledge about how to work with prosecutors! Wants you to take the first deal th...ey offer! Will lie to you and tell you 7 years in prison is a good deal for (forgery), which my other lawyer got me probation! He would tell me to get him clients, when I would call to find out info about my case! I would NOT recommend Todd Melnik, I'm not saying he's a terrible person, I'm only saying for criminal lawyer, he's not your guy, trust me on this, I lost my money with him and I almost lost a long part of my life! He just doesn't out his heart in it , I've had many lawyers in the past, Todd Melnik is the poorest grade I will give. Thanks
