Todd Emanuel was recently given the honor of being listed as a 2010 "Northern California Superlawyer" based on peer recognition and great achievements in representing personal injury plaintiffs.

Mr. Emanuel started his legal career developing trial skills as a criminal prosecutor and defense attorney. In 1996, he went into private practice and started the Law Offices of Todd P. Emanuel. The firm is exclusively dedicated to representing personal injury victims and their families in serious and catastrophic cases.

In addition to helping persons injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents, Mr. Emanuel has become known for his successful representation of rape survivors, as well as police officers who sustain serious injuries on duty and off duty.

Mr. Emanuel prides himself on delivering justice and closure to his clients by achieving favorable settlements and verdicts. His extensive trial experience is respected by opposing counsel. Maintaining a smaller law firm and a selective caseload allows Mr. Emanuel to regularly communicate with our clients and to fully engage himself in the detailed preparation of important cases.
