About

     Attorney Todd Gonyer focuses his practice on serving the business, criminal defense, and personal legal needs of his clients.  After more than fifteen years of practicing law, Todd has had the opportunity to serve as counsel and trusted advisor to a variety of clients, from individuals to large multinational corporations and manufacturers.       Prior to relocating to Charlotte, Todd practiced law for several years with large firms in Kansas City and Cleveland, Ohio.  During his years of practice at these larger firms, he observed that due to their size, structure, and cost, they often were not in a position to represent smaller businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals (particularly in criminal matters).  In opening his own law firm, Todd brings to these clients the sophisticated and savvy counsel they deserve, but with the level of personal attention and lower costs that a larger firm simply cannot provide.      Some of the many legal matters Todd has handled for his clients include breach of contract and commercial litigation, criminal defense and appeals, personal injury (plaintiff and defense), derivative and shareholder disputes, drafting of contracts, business formation and administration, traffic violations, driver's license restoration, non-compete agreements and enforcement, employer workplace intentional torts, civil rights litigations, insurance coverage and disputes, and products liability matters, bankruptcy preference litigation, commercial paper and secured transactions, among others.      Todd is admitted to practice law in North Carolina and Ohio.  He is also admitted to the Missouri and Kansas State bars, however, he is currently registered as inactive in those jurisdictions.  Todd is a member of both the Mecklenburg County Bar Association and the North Carolina Bar Association.      Todd is a graduate of the University of Kansas School of Law, where he received his Juris Doctor degree in 1998.  As a law student Todd served as an Articles Editor of the University of Kansas Law Review, and further had an article he authored on Federal sentencing in criminal drug possession and distribution cases.  See Federal Sentencing in a Post-Chapman World: What is a ‘Mixture or Substance’ Anyhow?, 46 U. Kan. L. Rev. 983 (1998).  Additionally, Todd served on the Paul E. Smith Defender Project, where he represented, met with, and prepared briefs on behalf of inmates seeking state and federal post-conviction relief.       Todd received his undergraduate degree in Political Science Pre-Law from Ohio University in 1995, where he graduated Summa cum laude and with Departmental Honors.  While attending Ohio University in picturesque Athens, Ohio, Todd served as Captain of the university’s boxing team for two years and completed his Honors Thesis on the Political and Social Impacts of the Automobile on Post-World War II America.      When Todd is not busy representing his clients or managing his law office, tries to make the best use of the wonderful Carolina climate.  The mountain and foothills areas of North Carolina are a particular favorite and Todd can often be found riding a motorcycle on one of the many twisty mountain back roads.  Todd’s hobbies include vintage (and not-so-vintage) motorcycle restoration, street and offroad motorcycling; snow skiing, jet-skiing, camping, and reading.

I highly recommend Todd. I was pulled over for doing 71 in a 55 in South Charlotte. After doing a little research online, realized I would need an attorney to help avoid a suspended license and a misdemeanor on my record. After reading some online reviews, I contacted Todd. He was excellent. He is easy to get ahold of, very knowledgeable about what needed to be done with my issue and had the issue resolved in a very short period of time. Instead of a suspended license and misdemeanor, I ended up with a non-moving violation. I paid the court costs, fines and his fee. It was a fraction of what I would have paid with an insurance rate hike and having to take a taxi to and from work, had I received a suspended license. Throughout the whole process he kept me regularly updated so I knew where the case was at all times. He will exceed your expectations.

When I got my ticket I was so worried about what will happen, having to go to court, how much will this cost me and all the above what you have to go through involving court. No one likes going to see an attorney or have to go to court, especially if you are a person that don’t get in trouble! The day I got my ticket I called The Law Off of Todd Gonyer, he was a big help, Todd took everything in his hands an I didn’t not have to worry about nothing. My mom passed away an I got worried about me missing court an no one understanding, but I was wrong. Todd an his staff understood an help me through it.! So if you need help, if you are worried, an or busy Todd will help you out, he takes all control of your problem, like as if it was his problem an guides you through the process of what you need to do! If you are in any situation please The Law Office of Todd Gonyer office, him an his staff will take care of you, I promise you that! In all areas I I have them a 5! Thanks for all you done for me!

Todd and Consuelo were terrific! He was effective and timely in getting my speeding ticket case wrapped up. The rate was reasonable and the outcome was more than I would have expected! Would highly recommend them. Glad to have him on my team!

Returned my call promptly, and stayed engaged in conversation respectfully ignoring others calls. Charged me a reasonable flat rate without any hidden fees. Explained in detail the issues with the traffic laws in Charlotte and how they are designed like a spider web to pray on the people. Having just moved to the area, I got caught in that web and it almost cost me my license. After a traffic citation a reasonable citizen would just pay the fine and be done with it right? WRONG! "Not in Charlotte" Todd explained to me, "Paying a ticket is an acceptance of guilt, and depending on what the ticket is for this could automatically revoke your driving privilege without you even knowing about it". Todd was passionate about being part of the solution to this issue. Literally hours after I hired Todd, he had already resolved my issue. Same day service is a pleasant surprise indeed. I liked how genuine Todd was after talking to him on the phone and meeting him in person, he's a real guy who rides a lot of cool motorcycles on the weekends. Cleary Todd's spirited sense of freedom is a driving force that helps the average Joe - like you and me - untangle ourselves from the legal and financial trap of Charlottes traffic laws and move on with our lives.

What started out as a very unpleasant situation turned out the very best it could...thanks to Todd. Todd was very generous with his time. I thought most attorneys were very limited with their time, but not Todd. He always took time to talk with me and was very calming. He is very professional, yet very personable. Also, the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend him. Jack and Cindy M.

At the point when I first contacted Attorney Todd Gonyer, who came energetically suggested and highly recommended, I didn't have the foggiest idea whether anybody planned to actually get my circumstance dealt with; it had been on proceeding to throw around to so many. With all the disarray Todd guaranteed me that he would give a valiant effort in getting my case settled however, he was forthright and genuine with me from the beginning. I don't think I have ever been spoken to by anybody as faithful as him. He communicated with me every step of the way. He worked on my situation tirelessly and endlessly, away at my circumstance perpetually with astonishing outcomes toward the end! I can't thank him enough for getting me my life back. COVID19 really overturned our economy and slowed everything down, however, I can guarantee you it didn't prevent him from carrying out his responsibility even as he worked distantly he was resolved in clearing up my case. Much obliged to you Todd for all the difficult work you put into my case and on the off chance that you are searching for a lawyer that will give you 100%; my suggestion is to look no further. I highly recommend TODD GONYER! Allow him to hear your case and check whether he is an ideal choice for helping you!

Mr. Gonyer has been my attorney for several years now, and has never once let me down. Every single time I've hired Mr. Gonyer to represent I've had a more favorable outcome in my case than I could have ever thought possible. He also takes the time to stay in contact and frequently update me on any info in my cases. he has always been an outstandingly talented individual, who's expertise is only surpassed by how much he cares about his clients.

I am so happy that I chose Todd Gonyer to be my lawyer. Mr. Gonyer (he insisted I call him Todd) answered the phone himself from my very first call, which impressed me right off the bat. Most lawyers have assistants, so you rarely even get to speak to the lawyer directly for a speeding ticket. Not Todd. I called on Monday for my speeding ticket- 87 in a 60 mph zone, reckless driving AND a failure to appear in court which resulted in a revoked license. We had a lengthy consultation over the phone about the best plan of action and what it would cost. I called back Tuesday afternoon to make payment and then emailed the forms back that he had me sign so he could represent me in court without me having to even leave my house or miss any work. By mid afternoon Thursday Todd was calling to tell me he had the reckless driving dropped and the ticket decreased to 69 in a 60 mph zone. The failure to appear was erased from my record all together as if it never even happened! I have never had a better experience with a lawyer and I have had to hire plenty due to my bad driving habits. If you want a lawyer who will pay you close personal attention, handle your issue very promptly and get you the BEST RESULT POSSIBLE, you need look no further. Just FYI- I never take the time to write reviews of ANYTHING but really felt like this was the least I could do since Todd did so much, so quickly for me. Good luck y'all!

Unfortunately I received 2 speeding tickets in my time in Charlotte, NC. But fortunately I had the Law Office of Todd E. Gonyer, PLLC handle both tickets! I searched a few sites that to find a decent lawyer. I had a list of around 10, so I emailed them all my situation. Only half responded, and the ones that did had a generic response and many had higher fees. Todd's response was the most personalized. He actually looked up my ticket, and gave a brief strategy of how he would handle it. He was very proactive, and very responsive to my questions. He was able to work with the county and prevent my second speeding ticket (within 3 years) from going on my record, and my fine was reduced considerably. I highly recommend him for any moving violation!
