Joseph Brown, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 22, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Torbenson. We recently worked on a matter with complicated financial and parenting time issues, and Mr. Torbenson was extremely professional and settlement-minded. He was obviously more interested in solutions than problems and did a great job of working out creative settlement options to work around the hurdles the Parties were facing.
Lucy Denson, Family Attorney on Mar 4, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Dane is a strong advocate for his client. We had a difficult and complicated case which included divorce filings in two different states. Dane has the intellectual ability to understand difficult and complex cases. Dane has a calm demeanor. This assists him in negotiating settlement which saves clients money. However, if the case requires trial, he is more than capable of representing his client well at trial.
