Top of the line attorney

Attorney Newsome is professional, knowledgeable and personable. He is also a very compassionate person who listens and sympathizes with client’s issues and concerns. I could not have asked for a better outcome, cases were dismissed. Highly recommend him for your attorney needs.

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.

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.
