Travis Tormey Law Firm

My experience with the Tormey Law Firm was something I will never forget. Travis Jeff and Allisa were all the most comforting,compassionate and understanding team to work with. They provided me with all the encouragement I needed to get through my situation. I couldn’t ask for a better Firm to repres...ent me. They made the most difficult situation I’ve ever dealt with, Victorious. Thank you all for all your hard work.

Gun charge in New Jersey

Well where do I begin? I was arrested for a gun charge in the state of New Jersey. Anyone from here knows how serious a gun charge is especially with gun charges carrying a minimum sentence. Thank God I found Travis and his team. Travis handled my first call very professionally and assured me that I ...would be fine. Anyone who gets arrested knows how debilitating it is not knowing what the final outcome will be. However Travis and his colleague Brent DiMarco stayed by my side the whole time, and made sure I didn't serve a single minute behind bars. They are an amazing group at the Tormey firm and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team gets an 11/10 in my book.

Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Acevedo are legit

My point of contact was always Alyssa, and she has been ON POINT in making sure all my questions and concerns were addressed asap. She kept her word every time she told me that she would get back to me and made sure I understood any and all steps that were going to occur. Mr. Acevedo was the atto...rney representing me. He spoke to me professionally and put me at ease before the court date. He listened to my concerns and thoroughly explained how he would be addressing the issues. He kept his word and it all worked out for me. He was knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do. I will not hesitate to contact this team should I find myself in need of an attorney. They are my people now.

Highly recommended

Long story short, I found myself in a very bad situation in Paramus NJ facing multiple felonies, jail time, and fines. Looking for an attorney I searched for a lawyer near me online. During my free consultations with other law firms i constantly felt the focus was on the retainer and not the law nor... my freedom. By god’s graces and luck i found The Tormey Law firm, who used expert understanding of the Bergen County, and New Jersey narcotic laws to help me avoid multiple felony convictions, and saved my license from getting suspended. I can not say enough how grateful I am for their legal representation. If you are facing misdemeanor, driving, drug, DWI, weapons or other serious criminal charges do yourself and your family a favor and call the Tormey Law Firm.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
