He needs to tetire
I hired Todd for my divorce. He did a horrible job did not communicate at all I paid him over 5000 and he sent me a final bill for 2500 I asked him for what he said the work he did. What work??? I even asked that my name go back to my maiden name and that didn’t happen. So now it’s on my credit for n...

Exceptional Attorney
I hired Todd to represent me in a divorce case. Todd did a very good job for me. He was very diligent, thorough and knew the law. He was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns, and definitely made a very stressful time more bearable. I would definitely recommend him to any one that wan...

Most passive attorney ever
I hired Todd to help me with my divorce. To be honest, I feel like all he did was forward me emails from my x-wife's attorney- "what do you want to do?". At no time did he offer me any ideas, suggestions, what I could and could not do. I'd post some of my exchanges here, but I'd rather remain anony...
I appreciate my client taking the time to write a review. Ethically, I am not permitted to respond in any detail to the specifics of my client's case, as to do so may violate the attorney-client privilege. I can say, however, that I am not passive in the representation of my clients. I can also say that I am certain the services I provided far exceeded simply forwarding my client emails and asking him "what do you want to do?" The client does have the ultimate authority to decide the material issues in his or her case. As such, I am certain that, at times during the litigation, I did ask my client how he wanted to proceed, as I do in every case, and as I am ethically required to do. I wholeheartedly disagree, however, that I never offered any ideas or suggestions, or never discussed possible courses of action. I am dedicated to zealously representing my clients, which includes explaining the law to my clients, explaining how the law applies to the facts in his or her case, and explaining the potential courses of action and the likely outcomes. I have done this in every case in my more than 26 years of practicing law, and I will continue to do so. I do wish that my client had discussed these issues with me during the case so that I had the opportunity to further explain his issues of concern. As always, I wish my client the best. Todd R. Worthley

Shady
I hired Todd, with borrowed money and informed him up front that I couldn't afford much. "Don't worry" he assured me "my assistant does a lot of my work" and when I asked her rates, they were much more reasonable. During the course of my case, I did not feel that Todd would be a good advocate for me,...
I want to first thank my client for taking the time to comment, although I do wish she had been a bit more positive in her critique. I am unable to respond specifically to her assertions as they relate to her case, as she has chosen to remain anonymous, and the rules of professional conduct prohibit me from revealing a client's confidences and secrets. I can say this, however. I am not "shady" as she asserts. I have always conducted myself professionally and ethically, and will continue to do so. I am always candid and forthright with my clients in all matters of their cases, both regards to billing and financial issues, and with regards to the law pertinent to the client's case and the application of the law to the particular facts of the case. I understand that litigation is expensive, and that many clients cannot afford large retainers. Because of this, in my more than 22 years of practice, I have always accepted smaller retainers and payment plans. My hourly rate is always at the lower end of what other attorneys in the area with similar experience charge. Tasks that can be assigned to my legal assistant are assigned to my legal assistant, and are billed at her lower hourly rate. There are some tasks, however, that must be performed by an attorney. I send out detailed billing statements each month reflecting all charges and costs incurred for that month, such as court filing fees or process server fees. Everything is completely visible to the client. The insinuation that I somehow deleted other unfavorable reviews is without merit. As far as I know, there have been no additional reviews other than those listed on this page. There is no way for me to remove reviews from the Avvo website. In all of my cases, I keep my clients fully informed about the status of the case and the developments in the case as they arise. I thoroughly discuss with my clients their goals in the case, the law in the case, and how the facts and the law may help or hinder the client from achieving his or her goals. I do this so that the client can make a fully informed decision whether to attempt to reach a settlement with the opposing party, or whether to proceed to hearing or trial. This is done well in advance of the hearing or trial whenever possible. When the client decides to proceed to hearing or trial, I fully prepare for the hearing or trial, and zealously represent my client. Unfortunately, there are cases where the facts and the law, over which I have no control, are not favorable to my client. I understand the client is disappointed in these circumstances, but this does not relieve the client from his or her obligation to pay for the services provided. As I do with all clients, I wish this client the best in her future endeavors. Todd R. Worthley
