The other portion of Todd’s practice focuses on representing institutional lenders, banks, national and local real estate developers, and individual investors in a wide range of commercial real estate and finance transactions, including loan agreements, purchases and sales of existing properties, and new developments.
In addition, Todd has an active pro bono practice, representing numerous families in adoptions, custody disputes and immigration matters. Todd has also advocated for children as a guardian ad litem.
