A Wise Choice

Tina Torres knows the law and the realities of the legal system. I believe these are two indispensable characteristics when you need competent legal representation. She is straightforward in her assessment of your case. Her experience and wisdom are invaluable. If you are wise enough to hire he...r, you can be sure she will be working very hard to give you the best legal representation possible. There are many things out of your control when you enter into the legal system, choosing the right legal counsel is not one of them. Choose wisely. I did when I chose Tina and I am grateful for it.

Amazing Attorney!

My husband has been through two other attorney's for a divorce/custody/child support case in a period of five years and nothing was done. We did some research and came across Tina Torres through some online research. Hands down, the BEST decision for us to make to get some legal help from her. After ...five years of not seeing the children, Tina fixed all of our problems and more. She is friendly, open-minded, a great listener, knowledgable, and responsive. After so many years, the minute we contacted Tina she closed our case so quickly and professionally. Zina Zuniga (paralegal) and Tina Torres were a great team in closing our case in our favor. We will continue to use Tina for any other legal matters we may have in the future and will never have to search again! Great job Tina and Zina!!

Competent, Responsive and Supportive

It is rare to find an attorney as responsive and supportive of clients as Tina had been. It almost felt she is on job 24/7, weekends, after hours. There were always afterthoughts or questions or clarifications missed during a scheduled meeting. Tina was just an email away regardless of time of the da...y which in itself was very comforting throughout that stressful period. She applied a thoughtful process and we were able to settle the case quickly. She explained the pros and cons of each move and guided to the optimal path. Tina's associate Zina Zuniga was as responsive and efficient and ensured that client's needs are met. In reality, entire office of Tina followed the best business practices and ethics in the service of their clients. We found Tina quite knowledgeable. She is very competent and experienced attorney. In addition, she always welcomed and considered our suggestions and guided us appropriately. All in all working with Tina and her staff was an enjoyable experience and her "hand holding the client" approach was very helpful in containing the stress of the situation.

Thankful for Ms. Torres

I recently went through a divorce that dealt with a substantial amount of assets/incomes. Ms. Torres was very knowledgeable with her approach to my situation and gave excellent legal advice. She was always available for counsel and put her all into my case. In the end, I was very please with the r...esults and highly recommend her for representation.

Dedicated defines Tina C. Torres

Tina helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. After a decade without any contact from my sons dad, he contacted me out of the blue asking for custody. At our first consultation, Tina defined the word "Dedicated" for me. She listened thoroughly and was compassionate about my situa...tion. Tina explained the processes I will be faced with and what the possible outcomes would be. She explained the many support laws within Texas and how they may affect my case, especially when it came to parental rights. She always responded to my emails and phone calls and addressed my concerns even if/when they were in the middle of the night or something we had just discussed. Tina always kept me informed on any new issues that arose. When I needed her, she was always there. I trusted her with my childs welfare then and will trust her in the future years to come. I have recommended Tina C. Torres to my family and friends and will continue to do so.

"You only need to spend a minute with Tina Torres in order to be impressed by her. Her knowledge and perspective are unmatched. She has a level of commitment to her clients that is hard to find, and her experience makes her an invaluable asset. If you want the best, you've found her."

"Judge Torres has an asset that few attorneys do, she's knows the perspective from the bench. While many lawyers think they know what a judge will do based on their experience, her judgment is based on having been in the judge's shoes many times. Beyond her judicial experience, her passion and energy are uplifting. Spending a few moments with her brightens my day and I'm sure it does the same for her clients. You couldn't be in better hands."
