Todd’s time at the District Attorney’s Office provided him with unparalleled exposure to litigating cases in a courtroom. Before being sworn in as an Assistant District Attorney, Todd also gained invaluable insight into the criminal justice system and the legal process through his nearly five years of employment with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.Todd graduated magna cum laude from Charlotte School of law with his law degree.
