Posted by Mary | December 6, 2015 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

This man knows his stuff!

I was very impressed with Mr. Tormey's professionalism and knowledge. I met with Mr. Tormey for a Free 30 min. consult about a possible patent idea. Come to find out, he is an Electrical Engineer, has his MBA and an attorney. My idea did not pan out but if I go through the steps he suggested, I wil...l be going back to him with the background work I need to do. I would have wasted a lot of money with another attorney if I had not spoken with him first. He has great business savvy and know how to get things done!

Seasoned patent attorney-methodical-practical-a clients advocate!! Highly Recommend!!

Met with Mr. Tourmey and was very impressed with his well-thought out advice and expertise. He is also a profession at JF Kennedy school of Law. Very humble man that wasn't quick to retain us and expressed the challenges that we were up against and advised us to "sleep on it," before deciding what di...rection we wanted to go. His free 30 minute consultation convinced us that "he" is the perfect person to handle our complex patent issues. +++++ Recommend highly!!

Clear Reasoning. Attention to Detail.

Mr. Tormey worked with me to write a contract for distribution of products in the US that were manufactured outside of the US. The complexity of this situation was not a issue for Mr. Tormey. He broke down the complex parts of the contract and explained each one to me. This allowed me to make an info...rmed decision as to how I wanted each part to be written. In a complex world having an advocate is very important. Mr. Tormey was that advocate. I believe I got the most favorable contract for my situation.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
