Truly cares and strong willed.

I came to Tina for my divorce because my father used her decades ago for a different type of case. I was completely lost on the process and have a disabled son I needed to make sure my husband and I both had his interest as our top priority. Even though my divorce was not a ugly or hard one Tina made... sure everyone involved was educated and agreed to everything that was outlined. She definitely is a life long family friend of ours now and considered family in my book. I will always recommend her to all my family and friends who find themselves in need of a amazing and strong willed family lawyer. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for my family and still help out with.

Tina Torres is a compassionate and proffessional attorney!!!

Tina is an extremely amazing attonrey. She made my difficult case regarding Spousal Maintenance seem painless and easy. She was very empathetic to my situation. Tina always responded back promptly and kept me in the loop regarding all communication with the opposing party and his attorney. She is... very trustworthy and always has your best interest at hand. My case was handled very professionally at every level from start to finish. I am very thankful for Tina!!

The answer to your families prayers!

Being referred to Tina for a child custody case was one of the best things that could have happened to my family and I. After requesting to raise child support from the non custodial parent, we were served with a custody suit. I called Tina as a scared mother and unsure of the future. She walked me t...hrough the process, made a plan, and got to work. Throughout the case she made sure that I was always up to date, responded to my emails and questions very quickly, and even worked on my case over weekends when needed. Tina is professional, reliable, honest about expectations and possible outcomes, and well prepared. She always reviewed my case with me and was honest about all of the options and possible outcomes from our choices. Walking into court with Tina, you instantly feel the respect that others in her profession have for her and after watching her in court, I wouldn't want anyone else by my side. She is well prepared, quick with responses, and ready to fight for what is right. Most importantly, she allowed me to continue to fully focus on my family and children while she focused on working on my case. That type of support in such a trying time is priceless and it takes a fabulous attorney to be able to empower her client and dominate in the courtroom. She is truly the best of the best.

Difficult Divorce and Child Custody Case

Tina has been extremely supportive. She picked up my case after my previous attorney moved to another city. My case is already difficult because my ex attempts to drag out every hearing by making false claims about me, an amicus, a witness, her siblings and her own attorney, block visitations, call...s the police and argues with them regularly, makes outlandish claims about our daughter's disabilities and argues with judges on a regular basis. It is a circus. Fortunately, Tina is very patient and professional above all else. She gives me her recommendations on what to do next and I couldn't be happier with her performance. She clearly has experience and knows the system very well. Comparing her to other attorneys: 1. She is far more responsive. 2. She pays attention to the details. 3. She knows which battles to fight and which ones to let go. 4. Fantastic strategist. 5. Well spoken. 6. Well known among her peers. 7. Her reviews on here are a testament to her. She's been amazing!

When your family matters most...

I have often been accused of being "over-protective" of my children, and even being referred to as a "helicopter mom", so the thought of losing custody of my son never even crossed my mind. That is, until the attorney general's office increased the non-custodial parent's child support, and he decide...d to file suit against me for custody, in retaliation. My immediate response was panic and heartbreak. Because I am not a resident of Bexar County, I had no idea who to contact for help. I reached out to a friend (who obviously heard the desperation in my voice) and strongly recommended I contact Ms. Torres' office right away. I did so, and I am so relieved that I did! From the very beginning, Ms. Torres, along with her staff, were extremely diligent and made me feel as if the fate of my son's custody was just as critical as any other case they may have been handling. I am not familiar with the court system and it's processes, so I am very thankful Ms. Torres took my case. She was efficient and took the time to answer all of my questions THOROUGHLLY throughout the entire process! I appreciated her professional and honest opinion regarding the circumstances of my case. Ms. Torres' experience proved to be invaluable as she is extremely knowledgeable and provided clarity and reassurance for me during this stressful time. (It is no wonder she is so well-respected in the Bexar County courthouse!) Ms. Torres' aggressive approach to handling my case made me confident in my decision to invest my faith in her to protect the rights of my family. My children are my most cherished gifts from God and I will always be grateful to Ms. Torres and her team for their commitment to supporting me in protecting my son's best interest. It is with a grateful heart that I confidently recommend anyone in need of legal representation for family matters to contact the office of Ms. Tina Torres.

"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."
