Mr. Tormey’s credentials include the following:

As you can see, Mr. Tormey’s credentials are extensive in the areas of criminal and drunk driving (DWI) defense in New Jersey. In fact, Mr. Tormey has worked on two of the most precedential cases in the area of drunk driving law over the past decade. The first case was State v. Holland, where Mr. Tormey and his then law partner challenged the admissibility of the breath test readings based on a substitute temperature probe being used on the Alcotest machine. The second case, State v. O’Driscoll, challenged the refusal form used statewide by the Attorney General’s office to prosecute drunk driving cases in New Jersey. In response to the O’Driscoll case, the refusal form was revised by the Attorney General’s Office to deal with the issues raised in the O’Driscoll case. Mr. Tormey has handled thousands of drunk driving cases in his years of practice throughout New Jersey and uses his Alcotest certification to challenge technicialities in order to provide the best possible results for his clients.

Mr. Tormey also handles serious indictable criminal offenses such as aggravated assault, robbery, cocaine distribution, illegal gun possession, and burglary throughout New Jersey.
