Representing Joe and Ladeen

We found William Torngren to be very professional in every way. He demonstrated excellent knowledge and expertise in the handling of the different phases in our case. He explained the legal processes of our case, our options and possibilities, in terms that could be understood by the common person.... We were kept informed of the correspondence with other attorneys and involved in all decision making. He was always very accessible by telephone and e-mail. Appointments were made and kept in a timely fashion. My wife and I are very happy with the representation provided by William Torngren and heartily recommend him.

Former Client and Lawyer

They say the highest compliment for a lawyer is to be hired by another lawyer. As a lawyer with some 36 years experience, I was very happy with Mr. Torngren's representation and would have no reservations about hiring him again.

Reliable and Trustworthy

For over twenty years, Bill has always been the first person I go for business related legal advice or referrels. He never steers me wrong and his fees are very fair.

Bill Torngren is the best

Bill was instrumental in helping me overcome a personal matter that had mushroomed into a legal one with concise precision and no spinning wheels.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"William Torngren is extremely smart, principled, diligent and knowledgeable. I have co-counseled numerous cases with him, including both securities arbitrations and employment class actions. Mr. Torngren is creative, amenable to “outside-the-box” approaches, and capable of thinking several steps ahead. He is skilled in the logistics of handling large cases, and is more able than most to obtain cooperation from opposing counsel."
