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

Prompt and helpful

I worked with Mr. Torgesen in the past and was pleased with my outcome. I found myself in need for legal help so I reached out to him. Even though he was unable to help he promptly referred me to one of his colleagues that is able to help. Thank you!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
