Committed

Needing a lawyer for a family case has been one of the most stressful and tormenting events of my life, and I think that I could speak for my wife as well. However, hiring Tina was the best decision my wife and I made. We were in a case to gain primary conservatorship of my wife's daughter with no ge...ographic restrictions. First off, Tina was very straight forward in letting us know that our case would be hard to win. Yet, it was important that she believed in us and took our case a lot deeper than the surface portrayed, maintaining memory of intricate details within our case over the year that it took. Secondly, Tina was more accessible in communicating with than we had expected. She was very good at returning phone calls and email. We were very needy, but we were willing to pay for the constant updates to feel comforted and to aid our preparation. This made a huge difference as we were more prepared than the other party. Tina gave us a lot of assignments to work out ourselves. I'm not sure if this is typical, but it allowed us to be involved, realize important factors that won our case, and allowed great preparation for testimonies by enabling our conceptualization of the case. There was one instance that my wife and I were not happy with Tina. In hindsight, I am very glad that we kept faith in her, as I see now that we were very emotional in this process and I would like to forewarn all future clients of hers that things go best when you have faith in your team. Lastly, Tina was no amateur in the courtroom. Tina was aware of how the trial was going and revamped our stategy on the spot to ensure that we maintained an advantage in the courtroom. This was the perfect call and we won our case. Good decisions are imperative in these situations. I would choose Tina Torres again.

Always available!

It took my ex-husband and I a long time to reach an agreement n our case, but Tina was there for me every step of the way. She communicated with me efficiently and effectively and was always empathetic and understanding of my situation. I knew that going through a divorce was going to change my lif...e, and Tina helped me make decisions on my new journey that I know were best for my daughter and I. I see the silver lining. Thank you, Tina, for being there for me during this difficult time of my life.

She's HIRED!

Attorney Torres is as professional and gracious in person, as she is on the phone. She let me know all my options and what I could look forward to over the coming months. Divorce is tough for anyone whether amicable or not. I am confident and comfortable with knowing that she will be delicate, sensit...ive and truly respectful with the whole process. She is a real find!

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.

"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."
