Meet Attorney Tom Tormey
Tom’s career began in the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor, where he rose to become Chief of the elite Special Investigations Bureau. He handled some of New York City's most complex and high-profile cases.
After twelve years of prosecuting serious criminal matters, he transitioned to private practice, first defending major corporations, and ultimately focusing on what matters most: representing individuals facing serious criminal charges or life-altering personal injuries.
Tom believes powerful legal advocacy should be paired with compassionate, hands-on client service. Unlike many attorneys, Tom personally answers his phone, remains accessible for your questions and concerns, and works to give you a complete understanding of your legal options.
Clients trust our firm because of Tom’s extraordinary experience and because we treat everyone who walks through our doors with respect and personalized attention.
Our Commitment & Advocacy
Whether you face state or federal criminal charges or need to pursue justice after a serious personal injury, Tom brings a level of preparation and courtroom strategy that only comes from decades of trying high-stakes cases on both sides of the aisle.
His background as a prosecutor means he understands how the government builds its case. His work in private practice gives him the tools to challenge those cases aggressively and effectively. Tom stays current on the law, benefitting clients with the most up-to-date defense strategies.
