Best Attorney ever

Mr. Newsome is an excellent attorney and is very knowledgeable about what goes on in the court room. Torrie helped me and my son with a legal matter we did not fully understand, he was very patient and listened to what we had to say. Then explained to us in a way we could understand clearly what he f...oresaw was going to happen. His compassion knows no bounds always comforting me and my son during the ordeal. He is a beast in the courtroom and always gets his way even if the outcome seems impossible. He is very experienced and is a professional at his job. I hope I never need to deal with the law in such a manner again, but if anything ever occurs, I know who to call immediately. I would recommend Torrie Newsome to anyone facing legal trouble.

His abilities to listen and then formulate a multitude of solutions are impeccable. I highly recommend his craft to an...yone in need of justice being restored.

Baby A vs DCFS

I found Mr. Newsome pleasant and honest to work with. From the jump, he set the right expectations and articulated each step of our case. He was very thorough in reviewing the documents of the case and made the key decisions and arguments that resulted in us winning our case.

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.
