He lives by the mantra: "A good lawyer learns and understands the law but a great lawyer is also informed by the practical business issues and goals of the client." An early adopter of technologies, Todd is always exploring new ways to leverage technology to provide legal services more efficiently and affordably and therefore more accessible to the consumer. With deep relationships in the political, legal and judicial community as well as with all of the usual suspects in the real estate industry, Todd leverages those relationships to advance the goals of his clients. "I'm a strong believer that, even in this hyper-connected world, direct human relationships often mean the difference between getting a deal done and losing a deal."
