      I'd like to compliment Todd Barsotti, for the excellent professionalism, aggressiveness and respect that he displayed towards all parties to settle my case. My case was against a Fortune 500 company that was out of state doing business in California. There was great odds stack against me, Todd review my case with me and felt that he could prevail. I could not of asked for a better Attorney to represent my case he exceed my expectations. Mr Barsotti and his staff are committed to great customer service is to be commended . I will continue to do business with Mr Barsotti and would recommend him with the utmost gratification for his service.

      Good in a tough battle.

      Mr. Barsotti represented me as the defendent in a lawsuit filed by a former employer who was represented by a large firm with offices in Northern and Southern California. The complaint alleged breech of contract, theft of trade secrets and many other assorted claims. My new employer was also a defendent and engaged separate council. Mr. Barsotti was extremely efficient in his preparation for depositions and had a keen sense of the core issues of the case. The coordination with my employers council was very smooth and there was no duplicaiton of effort for the sake of billing hours. During the depositions (10) he was appropriately aggressive and has a great pressence with his large frame and deep bass voice. My case settled outside court, but I expect he is very effective in that enviornment. In summary, he helped me through a major crossroad in my career for which I will be eternally grateful.
