David Torchin

David Torchin is a consummate professional who made a really awful and difficult time far more palatable. There were times I almost lost hope and came close to giving up. David Torchin’s diplomacy, sensitivity, experience and knowledge made this possible with a positive light at the end of the tunnel. He is kind, smart, patient, and competent. Thank you.

David was my first attorney helping us through a divorce situation with a narcissist. He worked diligently with us through the process and was available to speak at every turn. He was a valuable part of the litigation.

I could not imagine a better family attorney than David Torchin. David is an excellent communicator who is extremely well versed in the rules and minutiae of family law. I am impressed by how well David understood the details and circumstances of our family situation - he never forgets anything. His skill with financials are impeccable. David was always available for questions and to assist with difficult decisions. He frequently took the edge off of stressful situations with his excellent humor and even-tempered approach. David would advise mediation and cooperation first, and tried to resolve my many issues to avoid lengthy and costly litigation. In the courtroom, David is extremely well prepared and presents his arguments calmly and factually – an approach that was obviously appreciated by the Court. I could not ask for a better attorney to guide me through what was a very difficult and contentious divorce. I am forever grateful for David’s assistance.

David Torchin is very professional, organized, he explains everything clearly . He answered all my texts,phone calls and emails in a timely manner. He is also very Compassionate and comfortable to Deal with.

I had a challenging experience with David Torchin, our court-appointed Parent Coordinator. He frequently canceled meetings last minute, double-booked our initial appointment, and kept us waiting. In sessions, he was unprofessional, often resorting to insults and intimidation instead of fostering compromise. We later resolved issues with another mediator who offered practical, child-centered solutions that Mr. Torchin failed to address. Torchin's focus appeared to be on maximizing billing; even during his overseas vacation, clients were charged for international calls. His services were ultimately ineffective, and I would advise seeking a more professional Parent Coordinator.

David Torchin, a court-appointed Parent Coordinator, was tasked with assisting in resolving disputes between my ex-wife and me concerning our children's upbringing. Unfortunately, his services were disappointing. He often canceled meetings at the last minute and double-booked appointments, which led to us being prioritized lower than other clients. His unprofessional behavior extended to using personal insults and intimidation tactics during sessions. Rather than fostering compromise, he tried imposing his views and resorted to bullying. When our issues persisted, we sought mediation from another professional, who provided practical, child-centric solutions—something Mr. Torchin failed to achieve. He differentiated his mediation style from that of the other mediator, claiming not to impose his opinions on what's best for the children, leaving unresolved disputes to the custodial parent of the day. These experiences suggest that Mr. Torchin's effectiveness as a PC is questionable.

I had a mediation session with Mr Torchin on Jan 15,2009, After approx 45 minutes into session Mr Torchin yelled and use vulgar language towards me including standing up from his chair in a very aggressive manner to indicate a physical confrontation simply because i did not agree with him on some issues, as this took place in front of my lawyer (who attempted to defuse situation) there should be no denial in his part as to his unprofessional behavior.
