The minute I hired Victor I felt well represented as I went through a terrible road rage incident. Angie was so helpful and supportive which put my mind at rest knowing they would fight for every right I have. No such thing as perfect but this was very close to that. Thanks for all the help these past few years. I will refer anyone that needs council to this company.

I was the passenger in traffic accident and received some long term injuries. After four years I am still experiencing the lasting effects. I was referred to Torres & Haroldson by a friend. They were very up front, honest and generally concerned, not only about my case, but about my well being. It was a long process but they kept me updated as we went along. They were very knowledgeable and thorough and I believe they were able to reach the best possible outcome. They always found time to talk with me and answer any questions I had during the process. I know first hand that not all attorneys give their clients that kind of attention. Thanks to Victor and special thanks to Angie! You both were so wonderful to work with during this stressful event.

I couldn't be happier with my service from Torres & Haroldson. I worked specifically with Victor and Angie. They made this process very easy on me. They were professional yet I felt like a friend not a client. I would use them again if I needed, but I would also recommend them to anyone I knew in need of an amazing lawyer.

Peter is a top of the line dude! I had a last minute situation that was very stressful and important for me. And he handled it quickly,professionally and willingly. He was very fair priced,responded almost immediately and was all around a nice genuine person. I would recommend over and over and plan to use him again if court problems come up in the future.

First of let me start by saying, I absolutely love Angie!! She was my main contact during the process and she made it way less stressful than I thought it would be. They found the man that hit me in order to serve him out of state and still settled before that court date. I have sent my son there for his lawsuit and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Victor Torres takes on difficult cases that result with a positive outcome. I was involved in a motorcycle accident and the only witness was a homeless person. Needless to say, he was difficult to find. Victor sought him out and made sure the truth was told. If you are seeking a lawyer and firm that upholds honesty, values integrity, and truly cares about the people they represent, look no further. Without reservation, I would highly recommend Victor and the team that supports him to anyone seeking exceptional representation and council.

I fell in a grocery store and Mr.Torres and Angie have been absolutely wonderful. They explained everything to me and were in communication with me all through the lawsuit. I got a wonderful settlement and can't say enough about how wonderful they all are. Thank you.
I own a business and was taking on a job that required a contract. I gave a call to Victor and the next day my client and I were signing the contract he drew up. It was a great sense of security to know all of my bases were covered and Victor was quick and efficient with my request. Victor is trustworthy and showed me he cared about my business and my time.
