Matt Brodie

Torrie was very helpful with my traffic court case. He is always available and responsive. Very organized, very precise and very professional. I called Torrie based on a previous recommendation, explained my situation and he immediately discussed a game plan with me to insure my license would not be ...suspended and this would not stay on my driving record. Instructed me on exactly how to obtain my drivers record so that he could take a look before my court case and begin negotiations with the prosecution. On the day of court, he negotiated a very positive outcome for me and was able to walk me through all the dates and deadlines to ensure my plea agreement was successful

Excellent

Attorney Newsome is thorough and well-versed on the courts of Illinois, specifically those in Lake County. I have been able to truly count on him to remedy the circumstances that I have faced. You cannot go wrong with his expertise and service.

Highly highly recommend

I received an accident ticket and was pretty worried about it being put on my record since it was a pretty unfortunate circumstance that caused the accident. I consulted many attorneys and Mr. Newsome was by far the kindest and most educated in traffic law. He gave me a fantastic explanation of the c...ase and what the state had to prove. In the end, the ticket was thrown out. 10/10 would recommend Mr. Newsome to anyone who is in the same unfortunate place I was with my accident ticket. Hopefully, I will never have to hire a traffic attorney again but if I do, Mr. Newsome will be my first choice. Mr. Newsome, thank you for everything. I and my family are forever grateful for the work you put in!

Traffic Ticket

Mr. Torrie has worked on my traffic tickets (3) for the past few years and has always been able to get them dismissed. He’s good at what he does and I highly recommend his services.

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.

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.
