Genuinely cares for the children in Court

Mr. Torchin was appointed in my case, he is not the first PC to have been appointed in the case that has sadly continued for years. However, he is the first PC to genuinely care for my daughter's needs, and listen to her voice. Mr. Torchin provides sound recommendations that are child focused. Mr. To...rchin is professional with the parents, and empathetic with the children. Mr. Torchin is not only an asset to family court, but also to the legal community.

You are in great hands

David was fierce yet compassionate in handling my case. Besides, I admired his timely responses on either questions from me or my ex's attorney. David kept me posted on what's next in my case, reviewed legal clauses with me, summarized my thoughts clearly on drafts and finals. My case was complex and... I was glad I picked David to represent.

Skillful, experienced and consistently effective

David Torchin was able to guide me through a very difficult divorce and custody battle. Throughout a multi-year divorce process, David was always available to answer questions and ensure that I understood what my rights were and how to enforce them. David is extremely knowledgeable in divorce law an...d is able to navigate a myriad of financial and custody issues. He brings his experience to bear in resolving difficult issues and is a skillful negotiator. David has a great sense of humor which really helps keep the stress in check, and he is a genuinely kind and caring person. I am reminded of David’s help at every family holiday and event that I spend with my children, and I highly recommend him.

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.
