Fantastic attorney concerned about rights not money

Torrie changed my view on attorneys, I had dealt with a couple before I hired him & had a bad taste because of them. Torrie changed that! He was with me every step of the way & explained things to me so I knew exactly what was going on. Because of Torrie I was able to keep my life. He is a fantastic ...attorney & I would recommend him to everyone! He's not in it for the money & he seems to be ethical & moral, unlike some other attorneys. I was very pleased with his service.

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.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Newsome has helped me out on a few cases over the years and has always been very professional, I have always found him very easy to talk to and he takes time to explain everything to you. He is very dedicated and dependable and he always gets back to you in a timely manner. He is one of the best ...lawyers I have ever met and would trust him with any type of case I had.

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.

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.
