Excellent

Travis walked me through the case, answered every question I had in a timely manner and gave me a good idea of what to expect prior to going to court. I would highly recommend him.

Attorney review of Travis Tormey

Going through a separation is difficult and became very emotionally draining for me. I think the hardest part was being comfortable with all of my legal options and all of State laws that are tied into the situation. Mr. Tormey came highly recommended and his work ethic lived up to his reputation. H...e was always very punctual and well prepared for every meeting we had. He took the time to map out all of my options and was extremely knowledgeable. The whole process went from a disaster to a smooth transition in the aftermath. I will continue to utilize Mr. Tormey for all of my legal matters in the future. I recommend him to anyone that’s seeks an attorney that is not only a professional, but a great guy.

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. I selected Travis because what I read about him, his videos speaking on how he handled previous cases, and his overall duration in his field. Evidence attained outside... the guidelines of the law were leveraged against me thus crippling a favorable outcome in my favor. Motions were not exercised nor advocated in my defense a DUI without even a BAC level in the officers’ defense. I feel taken advantage of by prosecutor and even worse Travis firm because if Travis showed up to court and not his associate who I never met personally nor seen on any of his marketing and/or in Travis videos appeared to court. I hired Travis J. Tormey to represent me and not your help. Travis helper did not explain the cost of the 3yr surcharge I would be facing. The point is even if the same results were given to me, I would have preferred to go down in my terms, knowing every tactic was used to get me out of this jam. Travis you should have appeared in court with me I hired you not your HELP. If you really care, if you still hold the fire from when you took on your first case reach out to reverse the judgement its passed the 20 days but you probably don't care you have your money already.

I’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.

Look further

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 ...out out the car as he said he would arrest me for a disorderly person offense. So I hired Travis. Low and behold he gives my case to an associate. Now I didn't find out until my first court date, it was one of his associates.....no one talked it over with me. You're paying this firm and they don't have the decency to tell you who to expect . It's unacceptable to me. For a few months i felt like I was wasting my time going to court back and forth as they didn't have evidence, but but finally got it in February after this situation happened in September. I had wanted to hire an expert witness. I had called other lawyers who agreed with a breath test that low it should have been done. I felt like this law firm just wanted to cut a deal. It should have been further investigated. To this day I still think I could have done better with a different firm. Please think before you hire this firm!

Sorry 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.

would not recommend

After initially speaking directly to Travis Tormey on the phone I was confident in using his law firm for my traffic violation, he expressed how well known himself and his wife were in the court I needed to appear in. He talked about how extensive his representation would be. this changed quickly... after payment was made to retain him. there were 30 days between retaining him and my court date. I made multiple contact attempts to the law firm and had no opportunity to meet my attorney to review my case prior to my court date. When my court date came, to my surprise, Travis did not show up but someone else from the law firm did. This was not who I was under the impression was representing me. This was the first time I was able to speak to anyone in detail about my case and that was less than an hour before I needed to see the judge. The attorney from the law firm that showed up was nice and tried to be helpful but when I was asking questions this individual was actually googling the answers on their phone. I could have done that! I understand hiring an attorney does not guarantee a specific outcome and I accept the penalties for my traffic infraction but for the price I paid this law firm I would have expected to at least be able to meet with the attorney prior to the court date. I was then advised to plead guilty which I did. I would consider using another law firm not because Travis Tormey did anything wrong but the service was poor and honestly when you are investing thousands of dollars to retain an attorney you'd expect more than having questions answered by google and have the ability to meet atleast one time with the attorney. Seemed more like I paid to just be able to say I had an attorney. I can't say I would have had a different outcome with a different attorney but I can say I would have had a better feeling about the money I spent. On a positive note they did show up to court, I would not use this law firm again if I ever find myself in the same situation.
