After working for an academic nonprofit during and after university, Todd entered Loyola Law School, Los Angeles to end up a civil rights attorney.

There, he found out that even though the criminal justice gadget is stacked towards the defendant, difficult-work and a willingness to fight on your customers receives effects. His tenure as a Deputy Public Defender uncovered Todd to almost each crook allegation imaginable, from Penal Code to Fish and Wildlife Code violations. He is most cushty within the court docket, move-inspecting destructive witnesses, arguing motions, and preventing for his purchaser s rights. During his three years in Ventura County, Todd treated masses of instances a year and took the second one highest number of instances to jury trial (Bailey K.F. Means had the best).
Some crook defense attorneys pull away from criminal writing, however Todd sees thoughtfully crafted motions and appeals as crucial gear. At the time of this writing, a case he briefed and argued earlier than the Ventura County Superior Court Appellate Division whilst a Deputy Public Defender is expecting choice from the California Court of Appeal.
