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.

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.

I recommend David

I had a challenging situation and David knew exactly how to navigate the waters with objectivity, full understanding of the law, and advised me with my best interests in mind. I came to depend on David as an adviser as his depth of experience has contributed to my success and peace of mind throughou...t the process of my divorce and afterwards, no regrets, just an understanding that I did the right thing through his advisement.
