Tod is the ONLY lawyer to have successfully won a malpractice suit against the doctor that was was the defendant in my case. (the doctor has been sued several times )
It took four years from incident to judgement. I will always be grateful to Tod for his honesty, Integrity, compassion, and his uncompromising ethics for the law.

Mr. Melton has been representing me for the past 3 years now. He has always been accessible and communicates very well with me which I feel are key. We still have a ways to go to reach a decision on my case. At this point I am very happy with his representation and am confident we will reach a favorable outcome.
I will be most happy to refer anyone to him needing help with a personal injury case. Tod has been forthright with me and has not made pie in the sky promises. It seems he would rather err on the side of caution. Because of this I believe what he tells me and am most confident following
