Attorney & Mediator @ Wolfe Law. Business Law | Estate Planning | Litigation. On a mission to make hiring a lawyer easier & more affordable.. Female-owned & small business by design.

If not knowing the answer to a question drives you crazy, we have a lot in common. In fact, that was the main reason why I became an attorney. Before law school, I worked as a technology consultant for a Big 4 firm and owned a small business—and I felt apprehensive every time I encountered a legal issue. I found it challenging to find any clear guidance that would help me solve the real-world problems I faced. Additionally, it always seemed that well-intentioned people came out on the losing end too often in court, and that law was only there to penalize the unwary. As a result, I went to law school to get the knowledge I needed to defend myself as a small business owner.. After enrolling at law school, my attitude towards the law changed pretty quickly, largely due to a case from my property law class, Armory v. Delamirie. Here’s a quick rundown: in England back in 1722, a poor, young chimney sweeper found a jewel and went to a jeweler to have it appraised. The jeweler lied about its value, and when the boy demanded the return of the jewel, the jeweler kept it.. While most of the students in the class, myself included, were wrapped up in the legal rules and issues involved in the case, my property professor pointed out a fact that we all overlooked—the chimney sweeper was poor, and had no means or resources to get the jewel back. Somewhere, a compassionate lawyer listened to the devastated child and cared about him enough to represent him without any expectation of a fee—and that lawyer won back the value of the jewel. The lawyer also won back my faith in the legal system, as I realized that the law can immeasurably help people, especially when they are in the hands of an attorney who cares.. Every day, I’m motivated by the desire to help clients—taking their great opportunities, personal dilemmas, or major life changes, and transforming them into defining moments in their lives. I take that job very seriously, and I work hard to earn and maintain the trust of my clients.. Outside the office, I enjoy woodworking, watching movies, and perfecting "Blackbird" by the Beatles on guitar. I also do a lot of volunteer work, mainly with the Union West Rotary Club, Habitat for Humanity, and the American Red Cross.

Attorney Todd Gonyer focuses his practice on serving the business, criminal defense, and personal legal needs of his clients.  After more than fifteen years of practicing law, Todd has had the opportunity to serve as counsel and trusted advisor to a variety of clients, from individuals to large multinational corporations and manufacturers.. Prior to relocating to Charlotte, Todd practiced law for several years with large firms in Kansas City and Cleveland, Ohio.  During his years of practice at these larger firms, he observed that due to their size, structure, and cost, they often were not in a position to represent smaller businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals (particularly in criminal matters).  In opening his own law firm, Todd brings to these clients the sophisticated and savvy counsel they deserve, but with the level of personal attention and lower costs that a larger firm simply cannot provide.. Some of the many legal matters Todd has handled for his clients include breach of contract and commercial litigation, criminal defense and appeals, personal injury (plaintiff and defense), derivative and shareholder disputes, drafting of contracts, business formation and administration, traffic violations, driver's license restoration, non-compete agreements and enforcement, employer workplace intentional torts, civil rights litigations, insurance coverage and disputes, and products liability matters, bankruptcy preference litigation, commercial paper and secured transactions, among others.. Todd is admitted to practice law in North Carolina and Ohio.  He is also admitted to the Missouri and Kansas State bars, however, he is currently registered as inactive in those jurisdictions.  Todd is a member of both the Mecklenburg County Bar Association and the North Carolina Bar Association.. Todd is a graduate of the University of Kansas School of Law, where he received his Juris Doctor degree in 1998.  As a law student Todd served as an Articles Editor of the University of Kansas Law Review, and further had an article he authored on Federal sentencing in criminal drug possession and distribution cases.  See Federal Sentencing in a Post-Chapman World: What is a ‘Mixture or Substance’ Anyhow?, 46 U. Kan. L. Rev. 983 (1998).  Additionally, Todd served on the Paul E. Smith Defender Project, where he represented, met with, and prepared briefs on behalf of inmates seeking state and federal post-conviction relief.. Todd received his undergraduate degree in Political Science Pre-Law from Ohio University in 1995, where he graduated Summa cum laude and with Departmental Honors.  While attending Ohio University in picturesque Athens, Ohio, Todd served as Captain of the university’s boxing team for two years and completed his Honors Thesis on the Political and Social Impacts of the Automobile on Post-World War II America.. When Todd is not busy representing his clients or managing his law office, tries to make the best use of the wonderful Carolina climate.  The mountain and foothills areas of North Carolina are a particular favorite and Todd can often be found riding a motorcycle on one of the many twisty mountain back roads.  Todd’s hobbies include vintage (and not-so-vintage) motorcycle restoration, street and offroad motorcycling; snow skiing, jet-skiing, camping, and reading.
