Hired Attorney

Thorsen it's currently serving as a court appointed attorney. It's clear that he has no respect for his oath or duties. Urges you to take a guilty plea. Crafts his own narrative regardless of the facts of the case. In my specific case, this behavior resulted in language being used. That later cost me dearly. He's a prime example of what to expect in Mecklenburg county. 99% chance his billables to the states are falsely stated.

Mr. Thorsen represented me in 2007 on a federal case. He did not take my case seriously and I ended up with 81 months. At that time Mr. Thorsen was a public defender, I hope now that he's an official lawyer, he takes the time to understand his client's and help them get the best out of their situation. Because he sure didn't fight for me!
