Travis Tormey Review
I would highly recommend Travis Tormey for any DWI violation. Travis successfully, tactfully and strategically reduced my five (5) ticket violation two (2) tickets while simultaneously reducing the 7 month suspension down to 3 months based upon his knowledge and case law.

FEELING USED, JUST ANOTHER PAYCHECK, POOR COMMITMENT BY TRAVIS J TORMEY
To; Travis J. Tormey, and viewers My notion of Travis handling my case and not delegated the case to his workers were not honored.

Replied last January 26, 2019I’m sorry you feel that way sir. As I tell all the potential clients that contact me, DWI cases are very difficult to beat in NJ. The State is in a power position considering you have a breath test reading that is over the legal limit. All we can do is examine the evidence and try to find any potential technicalities to obtain a better result for you in court. I’m not a magician. You could have taken the case to trial but then you are exposed to the maximum penalties if you lose as well as the rest of the tickets that were issued against you. That doesn’t always end up with the best result unfortunately.

Know who you're hiring. Travis tormey answered the phone when I called him and made me believe he would be the one fighting my case. I was pulled over for multiple offenses including dwi. He told me my case would be good for a trial as I blew very low .08 and I denied a sobriety test. The cop got me ...

Replied last October 06, 2018Sorry you were unhappy with the outcome of your case. I have several attorneys who work with me on my cases. Many courts meet at the same time and unfortunately I can’t be in multiple places for every client we have. It sounds like we fought the case for 6 months for a $2500 flat rate. There isn’t another firm in the State who would have done that for such a reasonable fee. In addition, we consult with the expert witness on every DWI case. However, it may not have been productive for you to pay that additional fee for an expert report if the prosecutor was unwilling to dismiss the DWI. Your only other option was a trial which it appears that you determined that was not in your best interests considering all of the charges you were facing.

Failed to Advise Penalties for a failure to take a field sobriety test!
He got rid of a DUI for me ( i wasnt driving nor under the influence. I was asleep on private property) but did not get rid of the refusal to take a breathalizer. In NJ this is way worse than a DUI. Its 7 months license suspension, then 6 months with an ignition interlock on your car then 3 years o...
