One of the most trustworthy and compassionate lawyers in Austin

I hired Jo Ann after firing 3 local lawyers for my complex and contested divorce case. I felt like the other lawyers were not listening to me, did not understand my unique situation, and offered me cookie-cutter solutions while me charging me exorbitant fees . Jo Ann listened to my unique situation,... offered real solutions, worked with me cooperatively What makes her unique is her compassion towards her clients and her sense of fairness (two qualities that are often lacking in family lawyers). She decided to appeal my case even though the odds of winning were very low, and we won the appeal. I highly recommend her.

The best in Austin Texas

One of the best decisions ive ever made. Before hiring 4 other local attorney n feeling like you just got your money stolen Joann made me feel like she would take care of me n everything would be fine and she did. She kept me imformed every step of the way, never forgot to email or call me back. Her ...staff was very professional and nice always kept contact with what was going on.

Drunk Driver Accicent

My son was hit head on by a drunk driver in November of 2017. Joann Torrez and her legal team, Daniel R., took this case and my son under their wing. This case had several complicated matters but day and night and even weekends, they worked hard for him and he was able to get the maximum amount allow...able. Even to this day, because of my son's injuries, they still check on him. From the beginning, I truly appreciated how they made me feel comfortable during a tough and scary situation in my life.

You want her on your side!!!!

My son was taken to court by his son's Mother. He was served papers on a Monday to be in court on that Thursday. He was facing a protective order with only 4 hours supervised visitation and she asked for him to pay all court costs. Ms. Torrez was recommended to me and my son and I we with her on tha...t Wednesday. We provided her with txt messages and pictures of my son's involvement in his son's life since birth. We went to court that next day and her lawyer was VERY surprised to see Ms. Torrez representing my son. Before we made it to the Judge, she met with the Lawyer to try to negotiate but he wasn't moving on the visitation. Long story short, Ms. Torrez was like a bulldog in court! She was prepared even though she only had one day to review. She was professional and also had some spitfire in her. She had the other lawyer so frustrated! In the end my son was given visitation every Saturday as well as Skype twice a week and was not ordered to pay her Lawyer's or court fees. This is the most he's been able to see his son and he was on cloud 9 when we left the courtroom. Thank you Ms. Torrez for you tenacity!
