What Our Clients
Say About Us
“...these guys are the best”
Best in the business, I have to say Travis and his firm really go beyond their measures in making sure you get the best results. Being only 22 and going into this DWI situation it was very scary and with speaking to so many lawyers it was unclear. With speaking to Travis he gave me best case scenario and worst case scenario which gave me some reassurance. My case results turned out beyond great with me having a lot of summons and most being dropped. I was able to keep my license under some conditions but no DWI. I can’t thank Travis and his team anymore and FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GREAT LAWYER, THE TORMEY LAW FIRM IS THE WAY TO LOOK!!!!!! Had to put the thumbs up just so you know it’s the real deal, these guys are the best!!!!!
“... he kept me out of big trouble”
Louis Keleher is a great attorney and I'm grateful that he guided the way to a positive outcome in my case. His legal knowledge, professionalism, and work ethic should be held up as the model for any lawyer. Being a defendant gave me a lot of anxiety, but his calmness, patience, and smooth explanations throughout the process made a big difference. You can't spell "trouble" without TRO, and Mr. Keleher ensured that we avoided a court hearing and that a Restraining Order against me was not the final result. I am very glad that he was on my side; he kept me out of big trouble.
“... you did an amazing job”
Mr Travis Tormey, Mr Jeffrey Skiendziul, Mr Luis Acevedo are group of amazing professionals, very knowledgeable lawyers. They were leading me through a very difficult case, always answered my calls, they were there for me 24 hours a day, their passion made me feel like they are family. Mr. Acevedo, thank you so much, you did an amazing job, thank you Sir.
