AMAZING ATTORNEY & WONDERFUL PERSON

When I initially first called to inquire about the divorce process Tina was the first voice I heard on the other line. She inquired about my circumstances and answered all my preliminary questions. At the time I was not ready to begin the process, but when my situation quickly changed, Tina was ...there again. I had not yet retained her and yet she was responding to emails and calls and helping to navigate my circumstances. After meeting with Tina she was very compassionate, caring and was able to help me separate my emotions from the facts of my case. Throughout the process, she was responsive to all my communication and helped to put me at ease. On the day of court, Tina was profession and very matter of fact, she again helped to put my nerves at ease and explained the process and all the steps that would occur. While at the court house I was astonished at all the people that not only knew Tina, but went out of his/her way to tell her hi and she how she was doing, it showed me that her kindness and genuineness went well beyond the attorney/client relationship. Despite divorce being a very hard and emotional draining process, she helped me every step of the way. I will forever be thankful for Tina and all her hard work. Tina was a blessing to me and I honestly believe she was answer to my prayers at a pivotal time in my life. From the bottom of my heart Thank You Tina!!!

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.

My one-stop-shop Attorney!

I know that no one thing fits everyone but Tina Torres is about a close as it comes to being the perfect attorney for whatever it is your going through. I having been working with Tina for over 5yrs on and off dealing with custody, child support and recently pension issues. During this time with work...ing with Tina I have always been station at MacDill AF Base (Military Vet) in Tampa, Florida. So I haven't always been privileged to dealing with her face-to-face like most clients do. Unfortunately for me I have always being gone TDY and deployed overseas during this stint, so I had to step out on faith and pray that my hard earned money that I was going to give to her would be money well spent. Well Im here to tell you that Tina Torres is a person who is very competent and very professional when it came to handling me as client from afar. With the multiple case I had dealing with my ex-wife over child support and custody, Tina's hard work and due diligence got me W's in both case that I brought her way and it was done with outstanding professionalism, great communication and reliability that became the standard for her. All of that first-rate service also came with a reasonable rate that made me feel even more confident with Tina getting the job done for me with my custody & child support battle and also with other future cases in which i would need to seek legal counseling/advice from her. Even after she had won all of my cases and things returned back to normal for my daughter and I, Tina still went out of her way to ensure we were both doing ok back in Tampa. During my 5 yrs of experience with working with Tina, I can tell you that she is consistently great at her job but, the icing on the cake to me was that she truly exhibited herself to be a people person to me while also unveiling a tremendous amount of devotion to her client. I must say that Tina truly cares about what your going through during your situation and makes ever effort to ensure to you, that she's here for you and also for whatever may be in your best interest at the time.... she is definitely a straight shooter for sure! And by any means if she cant help you she will again go out of her way to find an attorney worthy of your case, time and money! She did it for me and I came away with the same winning results again!! I personally appreciate and admire that type of attorney-client service when it come to me spending my hard earned dollar on any anyone. Her outstanding record and her attorney client services speak for themselves.... and I do too! But the reason I speak so highly of Tina is because, when I originally came to Tina I just wanted to win my case and she eventually made that happen for me, but what I wasn't expecting that I received from her was someone I could always trust to be truthful and devoted to my case no matter what the situation was, nor the time of the day. Time and time again, Tina has come through for me in times of need no matter where I was at in the world! And that trait is rare trait to find nowadays in any profession when it comes to you entrusting someone, let alone you entrusting in someone from afar to better your real life obstacles.... I will pick Tina Torres every time!

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."
