You immediately feel like you're an old friend.

My husband and I adopted an older child out of foster care and after 6 years, our son has become violent, sexually aggressive and has no remorse. We have been through every program the state has to offer with no success as our son's behavior is always the victim's fault. We're working on getting ou...r child the medical attention he needs before he ends up in jail. When I first reached out to Chris, I felt like I was sharing my story with a friend. He is professional but makes it clear that he has the best interest of everyone involved at heart. His fees are high but so far, the peace of mind we're getting with regards to the progress he seems to be making in just a little over one month is well worth it. He's made it clear that he has no interest in dragging things out and putting our family in debt and I believe he is an honest, smart, man who is assertive and does his homework. I would recommend Chris to anyone!

Worth every penny

I had my son kidnapped by CPS and due to a false report and 3rd party info. Unfortunately cps has immunity (only God knows why) and they can do and say whatever they want and innocent families get destroyed daily because of foul uneducated disgusting people that CPS employs. I went to Chris a sobing ...broken mess with my mom. Chris gave it to me straight with no BS. We would have to go through the process and when he said how much he was to retain i about $*it myself. I was told by the criminals of CPS my 4 month old son would at soonest be home in 6 months and if he was still in the system at a year he would be placed up for adoption. Chris got my son back home where he belongs after 28 days. I think i can speak for every person in the court room the day CPS was forced to give my son back that everyone had there jaws dropped to the floor in complete utter amazement at Chris. The cps "investigator" walked in the court room with get nose in the air thinking she was God himself and by the time Chris was done with her she could barely remember her own name. Never in my life had i seen an attorney (well maybe in movies) do what Chris did. I would recommend Chris to anyone.

Best lawyer in Tacoma

I have no doubt that Chris Torrone is the most experienced attorney in the juvenile court system. His name was on the top of a short list of recommendations when I asked around for the best attorneys concerning this matter. I was committed to get my case closed in a minimum amount of time, and I need...ed an attorney who could meet this goal. Chris Torrone immediately recognized that my family was my biggest priority, and he always advocated for my best interests in the court room. He also considered my difficult financial situation in his service fees, which was also priceless. Chris Torrone’s expertise expedited the dismissal of my case. When I needed his legal services for a second and third time, I had no doubt that Chris Torrone would be the only one who could win my difficult and unprecedented cases. As always, Chris won my cases through his professionalism, approachable and positive attitude, in a fraction of the time and cost. I hope to not need him a fourth time, but if I do, I have experienced confidence that he can win my case as he has proven in the past.

Great Outcome

I hired Mr Terrone to help me with some criminal matters involving my girlfriend. I was a complete wreck when i came in to talk with Mr Terrone and left feeling like everything would be ok. Mr Terrone called me personally to check in on me and see how everything was going outside of the case. After ...a couple of weeks we had our first court date which came to a great resolution for me. I strongly recommend Mr Terrone for any legal proceedings that he covers.

Couldn't ask for anyone better

I am a paralegal in the workers comp arena and when it came time for my husband to get an attorney for an action with his ex wife we did not know where to turn as I dont know anything about family law. Chris came highly recommended from several attorneys and friends and hiring him was the best choice... we made. My husband stressed out for days not knowing what was going to happen when his ex wife was trying to get custody of their son 2 days before christmas after hiring Chris, he got the motion cancelled and got her attorney to agree to a mediation vs having to go through a trial. Chris is a down to earth and talks to you on your level without the attorney lingo making each step along the way easy to understand. After each meeting we have with Chris we are more at ease and even more stress free. We will also recommend him to everyone we know needing a family law attorney.

"I endorse this lawyer. Chris and I represented parents in a dependency proceeding that involved complex medical issues and multiple experts . The trial was challenging legally and intellectually and our clients could have lost their careers and their child if the outcome was negative. I did not know Chris going into this trial but emerged from the trial with deep respect for his multiple talents - he continually demonstrated great compassion for our clients, a very positive attitude despite the many obstacles in our way, he was quick on his feet, strategic and practical in his thinking and often had us laughing behind the scenes. I highly recommend Chris Torrone."
