Outstanding!

An absolutely amazing litigator and person! Extremely understanding and passionate about people's rights and individual situations. I've unfortunately had my fair share of dealing with attorney's and Torrie is one of two I've met in my life who truly care. My girlfriend had a very twisted relationshi...p in her past and the father liked using the child they had together against her. He and I got into a verbal argument, that I wish I could post details here, but I won't. Anyway, his retaliation against me, my girlfriend, and their daughter, was to obtain an absolutely ridiculous and hilarious emergency order of protection against me preventing me from seeing the daughter, communicating with the daughter, or him. Torrie was an absolute monster in the court room. Both he and the judge completely wiped the floor with the ex boyfriend. Completely removing the order of protection and denying the emergency order from becoming a 2 year nuisance that would have affected my career and my lifestyle. Thank you Torrie, we will always be greatly appreciative of your help with that one!

A Lifesaver

I started having trouble with my license back in 2005 and was very young and ignorant to a lot of the facts, policies, and procedures. I was lucky enough to find attorney Torrie Newsome and he has been leading me in the right direction every since. I have a terrible driving record and my license had ...been suspended back then and with his help and constant court dates and continuous efforts I was reinstated! Recently, my license got suspended again for the second, time just this year 2015. Now I was more familiar with the process and Mr. Newsome was right there with me and worked very quickly to get my tickets motioned up, vacated, and I am back on the road legally able to drive back and forth to work. If you are in any legal trouble this man takes a quick and personable approach to help you get it resolved or point you in the right direction.

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.

Outstanding Attorney and Person

Torrie Newsome helped me on quite a few legal cases and matters over the past 2 to 3 years. He is and always was approachable with any questions I had and always gave clear, honest and concise information behind each matter. When speaking with Torrie about the various matters that he helped with, h...e was knowledgeable about the law, outcomes and didn't hesitate to share his opinion openly and honestly. He never pushed what he thought should happen, he simply gave all the facts so that we could decide what we wanted to do, and what we expected from him as our attorney. In Torrie, I found not jut an attorney but a trusting friend. With the cases that he handled and the numerous talks we had, a friendship was formed and I am very appreciative of this. If Torrie needed to share information with me, he'd use all the forms of technology to make sure I knew that we needed to talk. There was never a time in any of the matters that he was unresponsive. He always quickly got back to me and if he couldn't talk at a particular moment, he'd communicate when a good time was for us to talk. Torrie went to bat for my family and me when he represented us and we knew we were in good hands. We knew we could be honest with him and that whatever we discussed would not be discussed with any other third parties. He takes time to learn his clients personally and individually. Torrie Newsome is an outstanding attorney with many years of knowledge, experience and professionalism. As a person, Torrie is full of life, humor and compassion. All the attributes that Torrie Newsome displays are important as an attorney and most of all as a person. I could go on and on about the excellent representation he provided my family and me. He is active in the community and well known for his professionalism and respectful demeanor. In court proceedings with Torrie, I had the pleasure to hear and see judges, states attorneys, prosecutors, attorneys, past clients and other court staff speak highly to and of him. What more can I say, he is an outstanding attorney who if hired is going to have your back and not let you down in any way possible.
