Mr Torre was very helpful in getting my case dismissed with the DMV as well as the Town Court. He stuck to our Not Guilty plea and we where 100% SUCCESSFUL in getting our case dismissed and I will always be grateful. I would recommend him to anyone needing a EXCELLENT LAWYER, extremely intelligent and knows the LAW!!!!!

Met Mr Torre on several cases for a friend a I accompanied to court for various legal problems. I would highly recommend. Some cases were very severe with possible jail time. With his knowledge and expertise he was able to get some cases dismissed or down to tickets. He was even able to get 2 DUI down to tickets without points or license suspension. He takes the time to explain everything so you can understand what is going on legally. He is well known and respected from what we can see in court. Consult him first before going elsewhere. Legal issues we won't go anywhere else

He will explain everything to you and give you an honest answer on what to expect.. He has always under promised and over achieved.. He is very compassionate, determined to achieve better results than expected, and very competitive to win.. For criminal cases he is the polar opposite of the court appointed public defenders.. He will tell you everything that can happen, what the best case scenario is and what the worst scenario is, and what he can make happen for you.. Mr.Torre will almost always have a better result than the best result you expect.. One of the best lawyers I've ever known, and fights tooth and nail for your case.. I hired him while I was already convicted and in jail for my sentencing.. Instead of getting an entire (8 month) county year {expected} or a (16 month) county life {possible}... He was able to convince the judge to sentence me to 6 months on every charge and concurrently:):) my sentencing judge was known for giving out max sentences.. It was a MIRACLE:):)
