“Chris Torrone is an honest, decent amazing person dealing with very difficult circumstances. He is amazing in the court room, and outperformed the other side even though it was many against one situation. I can not recommend him highly enough and I wish he could be cloned.”

Maryann Harkness
“First and foremost, Torrone Law came highly recommend to us. We decided to call and just have a very matter of fact talk with your firm. It was a very reassuring conversation. Once the decision was made to retain your firm, the ball was rolling very fast. We were highly impressed with the speed and accuracy of your firm. In no time we were in court finalizing the entire event. Now that the matter is closed, I would love to reach out and extend our gratitude and thanks for a job well done.. if for any reason we need legal help in the future , your firm will be are go to from now on. Torrone Law, LLC, again, thank you so much. Willin and Maryann.”
Brandon Newquist
“Great law firm”
Jessica Rowley
“I have worked with Torrone law before, specifically with Eric Maughan. Recently I needed his help again in a very small matter. Once again Eric came through for me. Even though my legal matter was a very minor one he still made sure to make time for me, answer my question, and successfully execute the action. I definitely will (and have already) recommend Torrone law for any family law matters big or small. Thank you again Eric!”
Michael Mecklenburg
“GREAT FIRM, CHRIS IS GREAT TO WORK WITH AND HIS PARALEGALS ARE GREAT.”
Adam Carpenter
“Best attorney ever. Before Torrone, I had an attorney that took over a year and siphoned $20,000+ on my case, only to drop out last minute because "there's no chance of winning". I went to Torrone and completely won everything in court within a few months after my previous attorney quit. Torrone can and will get things done, and knows how to properly assert himself in court while remaining professional. Torrone is the one and only recommendation I will ever give to anyone in need of legal representation.”
Kylee Ballensky
“If you want to win, you will go with this law firm. They are on top of their game, VERY compassionate, and responsive. This turned out to be a very hard, emotional case. And they stuck with me until the end. And yes. We won.”
Arthur Rocco III
“I was recommended to Torrone Law by another attorney. Chris Torrone took my case on knowing it would be a very uphill battle. There was plenty to like about Chris outside of court he talked to you like an ordinary person. In the courtroom he was very well composed. I'd never heard someone speak so well. After everything was said and done with my case Chris got me much more time with my son then I thought I would've allowed. I would hate to be the attorney on the other end of any case Chris was in.”
edward flores
“I was recommended to Torrance law firm by a few people I know and I was glad they took my case they worked very hard for me and I will forever recommend them to anyone who needs their services,,,they were absolutely professional and knowledgeable they fought hard for me and worked with me on every level their staff is amazing and trustworthy I am truly grateful for all of them they made me feel safe and that i mattered”
Sarah Estrada
“After a terrible experience with my previous lawyer Torrone Law restored my faith in lawyers. Eric was aggressive about fighting for my daughter and her best interests. I can't imagine getting through the next ten years of co-parenting with ex without them on mine and my daughters side.”
Sammy Davis
“Chris Torrone and his team are exceptional. In preparation for trial, he does thorough due diligence to identify the issues and then research the client's unique situation to support the case. At trial, he is able to draw from this research and present the client's case in a clear, structured fashion that a layperson is able to understand. His logical thinking, his ability to communicate arguments and his tenacity is outstanding. At the conclusions of my trial, the Superior Court Judge said "You have really good lawyers, they were prepared but also able to think on their feet". He will use the truth to fight for your family.”
Christine McDonald
“Chris Torrone is an Amazing Attorney he has a heart for really helping his clients. Thanks again Chris God Bless You and Your Family”
Katie Green
“Chris and Danae handled my divorce and I couldn’t be more happy with their efforts to get me everything I was wanting from my divorce. Communication was great, pricing was fair and when it came time for mediation, Chris went above and beyond to make sure I came out with a win. Thankful for Torrone Law and their services!”
Kristina DeVaney
“Chris Torrone and his team were so wonderful during one of the most stressful times in my life.They are so sharp and made sure I understood the whole process every step of the way. I truly felt like they advocated for my best interest and would stop at nothing less. I thank them and my family thanks them for helping us through a difficult time. I am so grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone needing their services. THANK YOU!”
Shelby Nicks
“I hired Torrone Law for my 3rd DUI in March 2021. The incidents were very far apart but I was sooo scared that I would have to do jail time. Chris listened to me and made me feel like things were going to be okay. Chris fought hard in court to get me a Reckless and I couldn't be more thrilled! Laurra was so informative throughout the process which kept me at ease. I couldn't of received a better outcome or service. I would recommend them to anyone and will use them again for any of their services.”
Julia Crouch

“Eric Maughn represented me in a nasty divorce case and got me the most positive outcome possible. He is compassionate toward his clients but has the tenacity to fight for you to the end of the process. Thanks to Eric and Tonya I came out the winner on my divorce!! Highly recommended!!”
Alisha Winters
“My first with Cindy and she is great!”
Jason Cook
“I was referred to Torrone Law by my long time Family Law Attorney because he felt that Chris Torrone was one of the best in the business dealing with CPS. He was correct. Chris explained everything in detail on how he planned to deal with my case which made me feel very confident in him right from the start. Long story short… Chris was able to get my case overturned without going to trial saving me $1000s!! Great Attorney that produces great results!”
Cindy Guzman
“When I saw all the great reviews about Torrone Law office I knew they were the right choice. The results were AMAZING! Chris did a great Job with my CPS case, he made me feel better after talking to him, he assured me that everything was going to be okay and that he was going to get me my kids back. HE DELIVERED. He did exactly what he said he was going to do and got my kids back to me. Chris keeps you on the loop of what's going on, the whole Team is nice and pleasant. EVERY dime was well spent. I recommend Torrone Law firm 100%”
Ryan Gabbard
“Although I didn't start my divorce process with Torrone Law, I am very glad that I finished with this awesome team. Due to circumstances beyond his control my original lawyer was unable to continue with my case and thankfully he recommended Torrone Law. I was convinced from the first conversation with Chris and Priscilla that this was the team for me. Even with the limitations of the COVID pandemic which prevented us from meeting in person I always felt that I was kept in the loop and knew just what was going on. Priscilla did an awesome job of representing me at our mediation and DaNae kept me updated on all of the paperwork that this divorce required. Having to include a QDRO with the Boeing company was very confusing to me, but this team took it in stride and was able to expedite the process. An example of the knowledge that this team has, is during a conversation with Boeing's QDRO center I was informed that rarely is there a QDRO submitted that doesn't require multiple changes but in this case it was a minor issue involving how the name of the Boeing company was listed, since this was a minor issue they continued processing the paperwork and completed it 60 days sooner than I was told it would be finished. Chris, you have an awesome team here, Priscilla, the attorney who worked with me and kept me focused, DaNae, who constantly waited on hold to get connected to Boeing and got all of the paperwork submitted, and last but far from least Michelle, who worked with me to make sure my bank transactions went through. I appreciated all of you giving me the peace of mind knowing that this is finally over. Thank you again for a job well done.”
Lori Swanson
“Torrone Law was referred by a friend and after working with them I would highly recommend them to my family or friends as well. Although my case was a minor issue, their professionalism and successful outcome gives me the confidence to hire them again for counsel or legal advice in the future. I appreciated that I hired them for a good value and they had excellent communication and follow through from the first phone call to the closing email. I was even more impressed that they maintained this service level through a pandemic! Thank you Torrone Law!”
Shawn Spencer
“I choose Torrone Law because of their expertise and knowledge on family law. Chris Torrone's and his staff did amazing for me. They as a Law Firm fought for my rights to see my Son and continue my relationship with my son when I thought their was nothing I could do. From Rhyan at the front counter to Danae doing court documents, to Priscilla in the courtroom and everywhere in between I am truly Grateful for all of them who helped me.”
Ryan Hubbard
“I personally couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer and team that helped me with my custody battle. I got everything I wanted which doesn’t happen too often in Washington state for fathers. Chris is straight to the point and tells you what’s going to happen so you don’t waste your time and money. I would recommend him and his team to anyone.”

Betsy Skevington
“I recently hired Chris and his team to handle my custody case. At the time I was out of my mind with worry because my ex refused to pay child support or honor his temporary visitation orders. At our first meeting Chris was very kind and intuitive. He asked detailed questions and was able to “talk me off the ledge” very quickly. I am not perfect but I love my kids. Chris “gets” me and I’m confident he will be there for me throughout this painful process.”
Tee Dee
“Chris gets right to the point and argues law. He was able to get an anti harassment order that was put against me terminated. His showmanship in court was perfection; he commanded the courtroom with poise and assertion. I would highly recommend a call to Chris before you hire an attorney.”
Morgan Vaught
“Chris Torrone and his team at Torrone Law, LLC are determined and effective. I have known Chris for more than 12 years and since 2010, he has represented me in both Criminal and Civil matters. While Chris is highly regarded by his peers, judges, and commissioners, and possesses a remarkable passion for the law and his client’s best interests, it is his legal team that sets him apart from all other attorneys in the Greater Tacoma area. Firm Administrator, Michelle Nicks, is an invaluable asset to both Chris and his clients—her legal experience and no-nonsense attitude are both refreshing and encouraging. Michelle runs a team of Paralegals and Legal Assistants who put others in the area to shame—Michelle and her team can do EVERYTHING but represent clients; they are just that good. I am beyond grateful for Chris, Michelle, and the rest of the Torrone Law team! Hire them. You won’t regret it.”

He was a pit bull who knew his stuff and didn't take no guff. I 1000% recommend him to everyone I know and anyone I see post online who needs a family lawyer, I pass Chris's info along. If I trusted him with my baby, trust him with yours too! He knows family law! Best blessing of our lives meeting Chris. I can't thank Chris and his staff enough.”
