This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The right choice

On vacation in California, my parents were in a horrific accident leaving my mother on life support, father badly wounded, and my sister and I not knowing what to do. The other commercial driver being at fault, and underinsured, we were told to obtain an attorney and given many names to call. I tho...ught of my friend of 10 years, John Torgenson. John had always been someone I respected with kind character and charitable actions. Not wanting to make such a big decision solely based on the personal connection, I gave him a call to discuss the situation. John immediately gave me confidence in his capabilities to protect and advocate for my family and most importantly my mother. He flew to California the next day, investigated the accident site, contact all parties involved and gathered information. John spent the next couple of days sitting with my mother, father and sister. He was warm, compassionate and comforting in a time of extreme circumstance. It gave me peace of mind that I had made the right decision for my family. My mother did not survive the aftermath from the accident. John was there in my parents home the days surrounding her passing. Again with his words of assurance that he had us. My family devastated and broken, John was a pilar of strength and constant advocating for what was a tragedy but also a wrongful death. Dealing with insurance and Medicare bills tripling the amount the other drivers insurance policy covered, John worked diligently to protect my mother’s estate. He fought hard for my fathers financial future. He responded to numerous emotional phone calls, explaining the process. In the end, John and his team obtained a full settlement and we were awarded the best possible outcome. The kindness and support Torgenson Law poured into my family during this time is priceless.

Efficient, timely, excellent service

John Torgenson of Benedetto Torgenson, did an outstanding job representing me. I pursued a large insurance company whose client hit my car, injuring me and leaving me with permanent nerve damage. John not only was able to get reimbursed for my medical damages but obtained an excellent settlement. He ...was always accessible, kept me up to date on the status and I highly recommend him for personal injury matters. His firm also has a great reputation in civil and criminal defense matters.

Call, email, fax --- An attorney who is responsive, smart, and cares. Thanks John.

John Torgenson was recommended to me by another attorney who did not handle my type of case. Although I did not know John or his firm, I am so glad he was recommended to me. Mr. Torgenson represented me in a personal injury claim resulting from a car accident. It was a delight working with him. I... was able to reach him by phone when I called - but, often we would send emails back and forth when he or I had questions. And, he would send documents for me to print, sign and either fax or scan and email back to him. This saved me so much time and money. I didn't have to take off work to make a trip to his office each time something was needed. And, because I was off work for several weeks, conducting business this way was so helpful to me. Mr. Torgenson treated me with respect (always) but I also felt he always was looking out for my best interests. John and his firm made sure I understood my options and helped me to get the best possible resolution for my case. I will call John Torgenson the next time I need an attorney and - if he can't help me, I know I can trust whoever he would recommend.

Highly Recommended!

I have witnessed John take on cases that most Lawyers would not because he cares for his clients. It is great to see someone who's priority is to place the needs of his clients first. I would certainly recommend him to anyone that I know.

I found a great attorney

I met Mr. Torgenson about six months ago while working on a business plan with some partners. What I appreciated the most about him was his honesty. It felt like he truly cared about us first and the money second. So many other attorneys have that backwards. Since that first meeting six months ago, M...r. Torgenson is representing me on two accounts. One is a PI case from a car accident my wife was in, the other I have him on a retainer for some general business and contract items. If you’re anything like me, you look for honesty first. the rest will follow. I'm taking my valuable time to write this review because he’s earned it. We hope to not need an attorney, but when you do, it's nice to know there are a few good ones left. Thx Dave Mckenna

Personal injury lawyer | Feb 28

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known John for almost the entire time I have been practicing law, and I could not recommend him more highly. I recognize that an endorsement of my law partner may seem self-serving, but to view this recommendation through that lens would require you to ignore the very reason why he is my partner in the first place: Last summer, when I was actively looking for an experienced litigator to join me to handle personal injury and commercial litigation matters, John Torgenson was the first person I thought of. A tireless advocate for his clients, John makes their causes his own more than any attorney I have ever met. The injustice he sees in his clients' stories offends John as much (and, sometimes, I think more) than it bothers his own clients. He is a crusader for justice as much as a lawyer. I am proud to be his partner."
