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.

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!

  • 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.
