About Todd
Biography
I am a local boy, born and raised in Whatcom County, and I understand the complexities and inner-workings of this very interesting and diverse community. My familiies have lived here for at least 5 generations and I am proud of my heritage and deep roots here.
My family incorporates two of Whatcom County's biggest industries; commercial fishing and farming. I grew up around boats, cows, and in the woods, and was fortunate to have parents that supported and encouraged my interests as a kid and I credit them greatly for being the first college graduate in our extended family.
Now I have a family of my own, my wife Heather and I have 3 wonderful kids who are active in sports and the community and we are lucky enough to get a chance to be involved in their school and athletics and we feel lucky to be able to raise them in Bellingham and the Northwest.
Not only do I relate to and understand our clients, I understand our community and the morals and ideals I believe it cherishes. As a former prosecutor I have good working relationships with the prosecutors and am able to use those relationships to paint our clients as people, not just a file or a case number. That's our winning edge.
I have literally travelled the world, thanks to the U.S. Navy, and I am extremely lucky to live and work in the part of the world I love the most. Come see us if you need help, we're more than willing to listen and make your troubles a part of your past while getting you to the future you want.

Todd got my DUI dismissed!
Todd knows his stuff! He worked hard on my behalf, researching the unique issues of my case and made the prosecutor understand my case should be dismissed. The officer made a mistake and Todd saw that right away and made that mistake into my salvation!

Amazing!
Todd made this huge mistake I made into something manageable, helping me each step of the way in taking the steps I needed to take in order to get my life back on track. I never want to go back to jail, and I know that if something ever happened to me or my friends or family, Todd would do everythin...

Todd has excellent communication skills; and a stellar reputation with judges, prosecutors and colleagues. He negotiates effectively and fights hard when necessary. I'm proud to endorse him!"

"I've worked with Todd both as a co-worker and across the table from him back when he was a prosecutor and I was a public defender.

"Todd is a Super Hero Lawyer. He keeps a calm demeanor while managing through several obstacles at a time to reach a great result in the end for his client.

I'm proud to work beside him."
