“My client and I hired Todd Thorne for a 1st degree intentional homicide involving a knife fight. Mr. Thorne was very professional and took the time to educate me about bloodstain pattern analysis. Discussing our theory of defense, the physical and crime lab evidence and my clients story with Todd Thorne was invaluable in preparing my cross examination of the State Crime Lab experts. Without Todd Thorne’s expertise in helping to prepare my cross examination we would have never been able to convince the jury that my clients version of the facts were not only hypothetically possible (and could not be ruled out) but the only explanation of all the evidence.”

I was referred to Todd Thorne by a well respected DNA expert. I needed a crime scene expert, and specifically, blood spatter analysis. My client had been charged with first degree sexual assault, but we believed it was a set up. Mr. Thorne's review helped us convince the DA to drop the case even after a bindover. The blood evidence supported our defense. Mr. Thorne was very accessible, professional, and diligent. I was even able to reach him by phone at one hearing so that he could speak directly to the ADA on the case just before the judge came in. I appreciated having an expert willing to take the time to explain the facts and the results and willing to go the extra mile to help convince the DA to do the right thing. I have recommended Mr. Thorne to other attorneys and will continue to do so.
