Of a Grateful Client.

Aggressive. Tactical. Balanced. Fearless. Wicked smart. With a friendly demeanor, David Torchin outwits and outmaneuvers the other side. Looking for a mudslinging "bull in a china shop"? Look elsewhere. David fires a dart into a bullseye with just the right dosage of stinging truth so adversaries wor...ry about him and judges appreciate him. Need responsiveness? He updated and involved me every step of the way. He returned my calls and answered my emails. He explained issues and situations respectfully and understandably. David is a coach, a quarterback, and a running back all in one. He walked me through my divorce and custody issues, and he got them done. And amidst it all, he protected my child, bringing humanity to the process. Everyone should have a lawyer of this caliber. He wasn't just my ally. He was my hero.

Skilled, Fair and Extraordinarily Hard Working

I could not imagine a better family attorney than David Torchin. David is an excellent communicator who is extremely well versed in the rules and minutiae of family law. I am impressed by how well David understood the details and circumstances of our family situation - he never forgets anything. His... skill with financials are impeccable. David was always available for questions and to assist with difficult decisions. He frequently took the edge off of stressful situations with his excellent humor and even-tempered approach. David would advise mediation and cooperation first, and tried to resolve my many issues to avoid lengthy and costly litigation. In the courtroom, David is extremely well prepared and presents his arguments calmly and factually – an approach that was obviously appreciated by the Court. I could not ask for a better attorney to guide me through what was a very difficult and contentious divorce. By following David’s example, I took a calmer and more positive approach to resolving divorce issues. David is the attorney you want by your side when the well-being of your family is your first and highest priority. I am forever grateful for David’s assistance.

David is excellent

David is an excellent attorney. He has a broad range of experience, and is adept at foreseeing events and predicting potential issues. He brings the same level of diligence to every aspect of the matter. Perhaps most important is that he is affable, reassuring, funny, and kind.

Divorce less complicated

David made a very difficult time in my life a much easier process. He was thorough, sensitive to my feelings, and very prompt to get back to me when contacting him. He made sure that my settlement contained everything that I needed and was very helpful in discussing with me all of my options. He d...id an excellent job in educating me of all my rights and made sure that when the process was all done I was left standing on my own two feet. I am very grateful for the services that David Torchin and his law firm provided for me.
