Posted by Leslie | January 14, 2014 | Arbitration

debt buyer case

I met Mr. Torres in the hallway of the courthouse during my arbitration. Mr. Torres was very pleasant and caring, he took the time to talk and give me advice. I called and made an appointment and Morgan, his secretary, was able to accommodate me with an appointment. I arrived for my complimentary co...nsultatiom and immediately felt comfortable. Mr. Torres had my case pulled up on his computer, he assured me that this case would be taken care of and probably before the continuance mediation. We discussed his background and his fee. I then chatted with his charming secretary Morgan and her delightful doggie Napoleon. The next day I received a call from Morgan that my case was settled and to come by and sign the stipulation paper. I was amazed! Everything I read about him and heard about him was true, Mr Torres is worth every penny and a delight to work with. I highly recommend this lawyer, you'll feel so relieved when you place your problem in his care.

Happy to have him onboard!

Mr. Torres appears to be very professional and knowledgeable. He takes over your worries and gives you relief over your troubles. Although there is no outcome of the case yet, I trust it will be the best possible thanks to him. My rating is excellent, although I rated 'being kept informed' only fair,... because Mr. Torres is working pro bono for me and I understand there is no time and money for extra paperwork!
