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 in the renowned Sixty-Plus Elder-Law Clinic. Additionally, Mr. Walters worked 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 exclusively in divorce, custody and family law matters. 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 Walters Law Group, Ltd., were opened.
