Forever Grateful

I am forever grateful for the amazing work Todd and his team have done for me over the years. I have been a client of Todd's for the past 10 years. Three years ago I found myself in yet another situation where I was scared, hopeless and needed someone to guide me through the most difficult time of ...my life. Todd is an amazing Attorney, I felt nothing but complete trust in him and his team as they navigated the best outcome for me. Not only is Todd extremely professional, honest, and has an incredible amount of integrity he truly cares about his clients and has their best interests at heart. Thank you Todd for everything!

Great team providing great results

I was unlucky to get pulled over and arrested for a DUI. We all make mistakes and I needed someone to help me get out of this one. After talking to numerous lawyers and spending hours doing research, I finally retained them as my lawyer because I had a good feeling about them from the very beginning.... Todd is a straight shooter and doesn't sugar coat things and that was huge since I knew he wasn't just trying to take my business. He helped get my DUI reduced to a wet/reckless- which is not an easy thing to do in Orange County anymore. He was upfront with everything and made this whole situation a little bit easier to handle with his funny, yet professional character. The best part about this law firm is that you don't just have a lawyer, but a whole team supporting you. Kathryn and Chris were great at keeping me in the loop and answering all my annoying questions while the other lawyers (Michael and Sameer) were very helpful in explaining the process/protocols of the Court House. Hopefully you don't ever have to go through this process but you probably are if you are reading this but know that this team WILL take care of you and make you feel like you are in good hands.

DUI turned to Wet Reckless

Todd was awesome. I was arrested for a dui with a BAC of 0.1 and with his advice and guidance we were able to get the dui charges dismissed and reduced to a wet reckless which is not normally easy to accomplish. He is a miracle worker. Todd knows DUI law brilliantly well, as well as the people involv...ed including DAs and Judges. His experience is what makes the difference. He knows the people and knows how to work out deals. Also his fee is just right. Honestly people told me getting a lawyer would be a waste of money. I disagreed. I trusted my instinct and started interviewing all sorts of lawyers in the Orange County area and I finally picked Todd. Yes lawyers want to make money and Todd certainly can give off the lawyer banter and can seem like any other lawyer because well lawyers want to make money. But something about him gave me an inkling that we would be the best choice. And we would make a good team. A lawyer is someone to help you. People think a lawyer should do all the work. This is the wrong mentality. You have to think of it as if you are defending yourself and you must think of strategies yourself and take advice and ideas from the lawyer. Sure the lawyer will give you advice as well and yes they will do the grunt work, go to court for you and all that. But you have to think of a lawyer as a secret weapon by your side as you go and fight for yourself. If you just leave it to the lawyer and expect to do nothing then good luck. I advise you to get Todd because he also helps to get you to help yourself. He tries to extract from you what you may need. Listen to that advice it comes from experience. Take it seriously but also tell Todd your strategies and your ideas because imagine he is an outsider from your life he doesn't know what you know. You may have some goodies that can be ever so useful. Once again I am so happy I trusted my gut instinct and went with Todd. Good luck.

BEST LAWYER IN ORANGE COUNTY!!!!

I was undergoing a 3 felony count case for a complete accident that I suddenly found myself involved in. Todd A. Landgren went out of his way to make sure that all the necessary steps were taken to show the judge and D.A. that this was a mistake. I could have not been more pleased with the outcome of... the case and I could not believe how compassionate, knowledgeable, and innovative he was along every step of the way. When Mr. Landgren says he is working on your case, he is actually working on your case and not anyone else. I felt as if I was the only case he was working on throughout the entire ordeal. I interviewed many lawyers before being recommended to Mr. Landgren, and in hindsight I would have paid him double what he had asked me at the beginning. His relationships with everyone in the legal system triumphs any of the other lawyers i saw in the court room during every process of my case. If it was not for Todd, I very well may have spent a year in jail for something that was an honest mistake. He saved my carrier, my reputation, and my freedom. I CAN NOT recommend a better lawyer in all of orange county.

DUI charge

I initially was charged with a DUI, possible felony charge because I was involved in an accident. It was the first time this has ever happened and I didn't know what to do. I was referred to Todd Landgren by Allan Stokke and was not disappointed. Mr. Landgren was completely upfront and honest with... me, handled all of my court appearances, and was able to settle my case with only a misdemeanor DUI with no added charges. I recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal representation. Thank you Mr. Landgren, and Jerry for all your help.
