Excellent Service

Torrie was very helpful in my Order of Protection case. He met with me dozens of times, answered every and any question I had, no matter what time of day. I would highly recommend Mr. Newsome as an Attorney and an overall good person in general.

Domestic case, positive outcome

Torrie was great to work with. He knows the ins and outs of the court system and will tell it to you straight. If you have concerns or questions he always answers them and tries to put any fear you may have about the proceedings out of your mind. I used him for a domestic case and the results were po...sitive. Would definitely use him again.

Son's Ticket

My 16 year old son received a speeding ticket shortly after him getting his license and we were concerned he was going to lose it. However, Torrie did an awesome job of getting it reduced to a non-moving violation and court supervision. He was great to work with through the entire process and has a t...on of experience in Lake County.

Great representation

I reached out to Torrie through a referral and he was a pleasure to work with. He was very upfront about possible outcomes from my incident. He was able to resolve everything in a reasonable amount of time and save me some extra time and money.

Extremely dependable and professional!

From the beginning he exuded a professional friendly demeanor. Made me feel very at ease with legal advice and as well as the procedure that would take place for my ticket. He explained everything clearly and made sure I had knowledge of what would be happening. In the end he was able to see that ...my ticket was dismissed. Would definitely turn to him again in the future for legal counsel!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
