About

Attorney Todd A. Walters grew up on the East Coast in New Jersey. He attended Ithaca College in upstate New York, where he majored in Psychology with a concentration in English. He attended the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Michigan where he was honored on the Dean’s List, and where he represented clients under the supervision of staff attorneys, at the Pro-Bono Sixty-Plus ElderLaw Clinic. Additionally, Mr. Walters was among a small number of candidates chosen to work as a Law Clerk in the United States Attorney General’s Office at the Department of Justice in Grand Rapids, Michigan. There, he did extensive legal research and wrote Appellate briefs, one of which was pivotal in making new law with Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Following law school Mr. Walters moved to Chicago where he developed his extensive litigation and trial skills as the Senior Associate at a law firm that focused almost exclusively on divorce, custody and family law. In August, 2009, in an effort to bring his clients a more personalized and attentive approach to their family law matters, the doors to The Law Offices of Todd A. Walters, Ltd., were opened. Mr. Walters is well respected by both the Judges and his opponents in court, has been nominated by his peers to SuperLawyer© status in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and is active in his local community of Palos Park., which is in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago. Mr. Walters has been lead counsel on a number of high-profile divorce and family law cases, while being sensitive in protecting his clients’ rights to privacy.

I knew during my initial consultation Mr. Walters was the right man for the job. Mr. Walters didn't sugar coat anything and told me how it was. Not saying any divorce/child custody battle is easy, but my ex wife did things seasoned lawyers couldn't believe. Todd did his due diligence and was always prepared. I don't remember a single instance when Todd wasn't accessible. When you're going through a highly volatile, sensitive and emotional situation that requires guidance, accessibility is everything. I highly recommend Mr. Walters. You won't be disappointed.

Todd Walters and his assistant, Cindy Mendez of, The Walters Law Group, are a dynamic duo, the absolute dream team! I'll most importantly highlight this by recommending none other than, The Walters Law Group as your legal advocate due to their professionalism, attention to detail, prompt response time, vast knowledge, success rate and sincere care and overall concern. Significant life changes can be highly stressful, emotionally draining and even traumatic, so picking a lawyer wasn't the easiest of choices. Under pressure and in the midst of my search- a friend of mine recommended Todd Walters as, "the best divorce lawyer around!" So I picked up the phone and gave Todd a call. Immediately I felt a sense of relief, clear direction and support. Todd was candid about my situation, being upfront about the potential outcome (whether good or bad), cost and time frame it could have taken based on the details I provided. Satisfied with his transparency, I eagerly asked him to represent me and from that moment on I never felt worried again. Soon after meeting Todd, I was also introduced to his assistant Cindy Mendez, who was an absolute godsend! Ms. Mendez was so professional, kind and knowledgeable. Cindy genuinely cared about me and my best interest through and through. Every time I had a question, I would email or call her, only to receive a prompt response with answers to my questions and more relief than I could have ask for. She supported me in times of personal doubt and never made me feel I was a nuisance for my constant need for legal updates. I always felt valued as a client, so much so, I saw Cindy as a friend. In all, the process for my divorce from start to finish took 7 months, but I felt just as important on the last day as I did on the first. Pricing was reasonable and most definitely worth every penny. At our last interaction upon finalization of divorce, Todd and Cindy both reached out to me with clear and concise details of what I was to do and where I stood at that point. They gave me all the paperwork and direction I needed without ever having to ask. They both thanked me for choosing them as my legal advocates and asked me to stay in contact as they would be there if I "ever needed anything." I feel most grateful for their representation, really I don't know what I would have done without them. Please do yourself a favor and choose, The Walters Law Group for your legal needs!

Todd is an amazing attorney! Todd's expertise and professionalism were obvious from our first meeting. My consultation was extremely thorough and educational about the divorce process. Todd truly cares about his clients and demonstrated this by being available and responsive to any question or concern that I had at just about any time of the day or night. Todd worked hard for me and made a stressful time in my life so much easier.

Todd Walters is an excellent attorney. I am dealing with a very difficult divorce and custody case. Todd and his secretary Cindy have been by my side throughout the entire process. Todd is an extremely concerned, compassionate and caring attorney who answers all my calls, emails and text messages even on weekends. Todd's knowledge of the law exceeds my expectations. Todd's concern over my case goes above and beyond. He is highly respected by other attorneys and Judges. I highly recommend Todd Walters

I am a DoD servicemember stationed overseas. I have been seperated for quite some time and needed to move on with my life and finally get divorced. It was difficult because my ex and I were at different locations overseas and I had no idea how to get the process started. I called Todd's office and was immediately put at ease as Cindy explained the process and everything I needed to do to get started. I was always informed from the beginning stages all the way through to the end. The payment process was smooth and when I finally met Todd he was down to earth, and a true professional. Todd made what initially seemed like an impossible situation, smooth and painless. I highly recommed his firm.

There are so many possitive adjectives I could use to describe Mr. Walters. Therefore, II will not use just one. The minute I met him and sat down in his conference room, he displayed a high level of enthuiasm and concern for genuinely and immediately helping me with my problem. Mr. Walters went above what I was expecting due to my limited financial position. He could have very easily told me he could not help me because I could not afford his initial fee but he did not go down that path. I will never for get thatMr Walters changed my hardened view of attorneys due to his concern and compassion for others.

I was going through a bitter divorce. My ex-husband's attorney brought in another attorney who was very unethical to help assist with his divorce. The attorney I had at that time lacked experience in dealing with my ex's "shyster" attorney. My divorce was riding on a lot. College expenses, rental properties, joint debt, etc... and my divorce was set to go to trial. Very quickly I had to find a new attorney that was wise, skillful, strong-minded, knows the law inside and out, could deal with the "bad garbage" that was going on with my ex and his attorneys & someone who would fight for me and my children. That person was Todd Walters. He responds quickly (by phone, text and email), kept me well informed and prepared for all possibilities. He was available for all "my emergencies" even on the weekends. He kept me calm and stress free. Having dealt with bad attorneys in the past Todd and his assistant Cindy were truly a blessing and beyond wonderful for me and my children. I would highly recommend Todd to anyone.

I could not have asked for a better outcome. Todd did a wonderful job. Very well prepared and aggressive in the handling of all aspects of the case. Kept me well informed. The best endorsement I can give; I would not hesitate to use his services again or to recommend him to a friend.

I spoke to Todd after speaking to several other divorce and family law attorneys. I had a very difficult and complex divorce situation involving a business and some substantial assets. I knew right away that Todd knew what he was talking about, and that he would be the right one to help me. His experience and advice helped guide me and counsel me through a very difficult time. He offerred great suggestions and ideas that are TRULY appreciated. I just wanted to say thank you again for all of your help!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Todd Walters. I’ve never met an attorney who showed more integrity, honesty, warmth, and genuine concern towards his clients. As with any divorce, this has been an extremely stressful time in my life. Todd was compassionate and treated me like a real person, yet when it came to fighting for my rights, he was a pit-bull. When I was frustrated, he let me vent. When I felt like giving in, he made me fight on. My ex-husband was very difficult to deal with. He was not only irrational, but completely unreasonable. Todd helped me make good decisions. He was very responsive and extremely well-versed in the legal process. He helped me negotiate a very favorable settlement. I was very pleased with the outcome of my divorce and I owe that to him. Todd is simply outstanding and I sincerely thank him for all that he did. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
