Alton C. Todd is a Texas personal injury attorney who has spent his career representing injured clients across Galveston, Houston, and surrounding communities.

Alton is double board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law in Texas and is nationally certified as a civil trial advocate. He is also a former member of the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has been consistently recognized as a Texas Super Lawyer, including selection among the Top 10. Over his career, he has secured and resolved numerous high-value cases and earned a reputation for ethical practice and courtroom effectiveness.
Licensed in Texas and Georgia, Alton has recovered substantial results for clients while maintaining a long-standing commitment to trial advocacy and client service.
