Amazing attorney with great compassion and drive for her clients

I came to Lisa with a very sensitive issue, and she responded the same day and took action. If it wasn't for her diligent representation I would not have been able to pursue my career. If you need a defense attorney, you cannot get any better than Lisa Torraco.

Great Lawyer

Lisa is a powerful force in the courtroom. I am eternally grateful to her for defending me so brilliantly. She stayed determined and applyed her knowledge and skills to obtain a positive outcome in my case. She is the attorney you want on your side. J. H.

False allogations from Gallup.

First of all I have to say thank you for Lisa Torraco, Dennis (private investigate), and her paralegal Andriana for standing by my (literally) in court and figuratively. If not for all three of them I wouldn't be writing this thank you as a free man. Lisa was a blessing to myself and my family. While... working on a travel assignment I was accused of something I did not do and had three felony charges against me. While being held in a county jail Lisa came to visit me with her investigator and told me that she believed my innocence. There was no judgement, no preset opinions, or anything. She comforted me at my lowest point in life. Lisa Torraco has compassion and empathy for her clients, I felt it first hand. Being in a place I didn't belong, not having slept or ate well in days, and totally devastated that someone was would accuse me of such things, I was in a very dark place but Lisa and her team was my light at the end of the tunnel and my breath of fresh air. With in a matter of days from her first meeting me at McKinley county she had me bailed out and on my way back home. Her investigator did his job very thoroughly and played a pivotal role in my case being dismissed. He drove to meet me in person the day after I was released and spent hours with me to hear my side, gather information and gave me comfort. He also showed true concern for my well being. While incarcerated Andriana was always very kind and very compassionate. She even offered to allow me to call her everyday just to talk and be a person of support. I found Lisa online through google. The website I found her through has her listed in the top three criminal defense attorneys in New Mexico. For my case I knew I wanted a strong woman with a very dominant presence and that was Lisa Torraco. When we showed up to my hearing a young attorney was there for a non-related matter and he recognized her and said he's heard so many great things about her and how it was an honor to meet her. This made me feel good seeing how others in her profession respected her. Lisa understands the corruption in the justice system, she understands how cops try to pressure people into giving up their constitutional rights to get bogus confessions, and even more so she understands that good people can find themselves in bad situations. Due to video evidence that her investigator discovered Lisa was able to get my case dismissed. I am forever indebted to Lisa Torraco. Lisa was always a phone call away. I recall one time when I called her she was in the middle of getting her nails done and she got up, walked outside and took my call. She stopped what she was doing on her day off to speak to me. She put me first above getting her nails done on her day off. It meant so much to me. She could have easily declined my call and let it go to voice mail, but she didn't. She was there for me. In my greatest time of need and my most vulnerable state, she was my hope. Andriana was very prompt when returning emails and assisting me with any concern that I brought to her. When you're looking at charges that will change your life, effect your employment options, impact your family, and alter your freedoms forever, spend the money and pay for the best. Take my advice, don't go with a public pretender, especially if you're young and have an entire life ahead of you. Lisa isn't a plea deal type of attorney. Lisa is a mother who can relate to other moms who's sons are being bullied by the justice system and she will do all she can to protect their rights and fight for them against the corrupt justice system. Unfortunately we live in a society that is so out of touch with our constitution that they've forgot that cops aren't the ones who get to decide guilt, nor does an arrest mean a crime was even committed. This can only be determined a court of law and that's where Lisa Torraco is her absolute best, In the court room. Lisa, Dennis, and Adrianna thank you! Thank you for much!

She is a Blessing!!

I want to take this time to thank Lisa Torraco for being there for me in one of the most unbelievable, unjust situations you could ever imagine. I was facing a charge I couldn’t dream of being accused of in my worst nightmare. My life was ruined, I was publicly humiliated, and I felt like I had no on...e to turn to. I was terrified of the repercussions this accusation was going to have on my life and my family’s life. The day I met Lisa she was professional, honest and straight forward. She was well versed in all aspects of criminal law and had an impressive background. From the very beginning she told me she would fight for me and prove my innocence. She did nothing less. She went above and beyond what she promised. It was the longest year of my life, but I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side. I can’t express my gratitude and the appreciation I have for her. If you’re looking for someone to prove your innocence than look no further!

A honest, strong attorney

Ms. Torraco was very helpful with my unfair case. While she was confident with her work, she was also very caring. She also provides objective inputs with relevant strategies that would work in your favor in your case. For 3 months she was working on my "tough" case, she produced a solid plan. Based ...on my observations, she has outstanding negotiation skills with prosecutors, followed by her compassion and knowledge. I can go on about her competence and skills in and out of court. You can definitely trust her and her work. If was ever working in the field of law, she would have been my role model.
