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...

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 ...

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...

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...

I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer who truly cares about protecting the rights of clients and getting them the most favorable result possible. Mr. Torgenson is a terrific lawyer. I endorse Mr. Torgenson to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer."
"Mr. Torgenson is an exceptional attorney. Although I have been practicing law for 24 years as a judge, magistrate, law professor, prosecutor, and private attorney, I learn from his responses on Avvo every time that he posts. If I needed an attorney, I would hire him. I recommend him with no reservation. It would be the best investment of your life to hire him to represent you."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is an excellent lawyer and an asset to the legal community. He is my go-to person when I have a question about personal injury. John is very knowledgeable in his practice areas and is devoted to the highest level of representation for his clients. I never hesitate to refer potential clients to John when their needs fall outside of my practice area or I have a conflict of interest that prevents me from taking the case. I know that John will provide the same high level of service that I would want if I were hiring an attorney, and I am confident that any potential client will be in good hands with John."

"Mr. Torgenson is an excellent personal injury attorney and gifted litigator. I would trust him without question to handle the lost complicated and valuable cases."

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Torgenson has been providing excellent information and education to the community. He is one of the good guys."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer. John Torgenson is an amazing and talented litigator. He has an impeccable background: graduating from Notre Dame and working at one of Arizona's most respected large law firms. He is a diligent and strong advocate for his clients. I strongly recommend Mr. Torgenson!"
"I endorse John Torgenson. As a fellow Arizona lawyer, I recommend John for his dedication to his work, ability to get good results for his clients, and his reputation and professionalism. You can trust that your case will be handled diligently and with the respect you deserve."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"John is an outstanding advocate who cares deeply about his clients. John thinks creatively and is always willing to go the extra mile. He is a great lawyer and, more importantly, a great person."
