God has blessed me in abundance financially and with my family. Unfortunately, God has taken from me more than any parent can imagine in their most horrifying of nightmares. My wife and I were blessed with four wonderful and beautiful children.
On a night that I will never understand or, much less forget, a drunk driver ran a stop sign and took away three of my four beautiful children. One of my sons survived, but three of the brightest lights in my life were forever gone.
A few years ago, my only surviving child was in a toxic marriage with a woman that falsely accused him of multiple counts of felony assault. She even accused my son of causing several miscarriages with her claims of being assaulted and beaten up. She called the police and had my son arrested.
One of the attorneys that I hired was Joe Torres. I had many one on one, personal conversations with Joe. One was on a late Thursday afternoon. I told him of how my wife and I had already lost three of our children.
This was the only child that we had left and his unstable wife had him arrested, made false allegations that were headed to a Nueces County grand jury for an indictment and near certain prison for my son. Prison would have been a death sentence for him. He was only 23.
That afternoon, as I told Joe the story of the loss of my three children, with tears running down both of our faces, I looked straight into his eyes and I asked him “Please save my son. He is all my wife and I have left. My wife cannot handle losing our last one.” Joe looked at me straight in my eyes and told me “I promise Al. I will not let anyone hurt your son.” I know that it took a toll on him. The work, investigation and dedication that Joe put in was exactly as he promised me. All of his work, investigation and evidence was presented to the grand jury.
My son was vindicated. The jury no billed his cases and found that the evidence, presented by my attorneys, did not support the allegations and charges that we all knew were false.
My son was saved that day. He is now a happy, healthy and productive young man. He is the apple of his mother’s and my eyes. As parents, we can only imagine the wonder and potential that my other three children could have had. We will never stop wondering about that, but, today, by the grace of God, we still have our remaining son, whose life fills us with the joy and love that only a parent can feel. His mother and I get to be witnesses to his life and enjoy every single minute of it. Thank you Joe.

Having Mr. Torres as my attorney has been such a great choice and is a great privilege to have him on my side , from the way he not only treats you as a client, but as family! He brings the character of security and the pleasure of knowing sureness but treats your case as it’s him on the stand , as it’s him in your shoes knowing that he sees from your eyes and your feelings gives you a lot of a sureness, I can relate to him being my attorney not only on 1 case but 2 cases and yes I had my worries but, without a doubt, I could see that I should have no thought on my mind of him failing me or my family. He would not accept the worst only the best, always fighting for me and always with sure confirmation and within himself knowing he would not fail!
He, as an attorney, is one of the best and fighting for the truth and fighting for my cause! Never forgetting the fight in front of him!

I was a graduating senior in college when I was accused and charged with drug possession. A drug conviction would have made my college degree worthless and would have made my dream of a professional career disappear. The prosecutor offered me a plea deal of probation. I was so scared. By the grace of God, I hired Mr. Torres and he sat with me and reviewed every piece of evidence. To my relief, Mr. Torres told me, “don’t worry. We are going to fight this.” We did and after a hard fight with the prosecutor, the charge was dismissed. After that, I went on to graduate from college. I now have the professional career and life I always dreamed of. I am forever grateful to Mr. Torres for not only fighting for me, but, more importantly, for believing in me.

Attorney Joe Torres has been amazing to work with. I never had to meet or talk to anyone else; he handled my case with the utmost care. He got what I needed done. He’s gone the extra mile to make sure I got what I deserved.
He always makes sure his clients know where they stand on their case and keeps clear communication with his clients. I can count on him for any legal matter needs.

My father means the world to me and Joe Torres knows how important this is to a daughter.
He got my Dad the closure that he needed in a legal matter and, thanks to Joe, my Dad has gotten more time with his family to make more memories. I am forever grateful.

Mr. Torres is a great attorney! I went through a lot as a kid and always dreamed of putting that behind me when I turned 18, but I wasn’t sure where to turn. I was referred to Mr. Torres and was nervous that I wouldn’t be taken seriously because of my age, but he heard me out and genuinely cared about what I had been through and was very willing to help. In order to put my past behind me, I wanted to change my last name but had no idea where to start or what to do. Mr. Torres took care of everything and made it all seem so easy. I was so glad I got that referral and I am grateful to Mr. Torres for helping me take back my life!
Thank you!

Unfortunately, not by my choice, I became part of the over 50 percent divorce statistic. What was one of the most life changing and painful experiences for me and my children, turned out to be a life lesson into, not only how to survive it, but, more importantly, how to rise above it and learn to become a stronger person, both for me and for my children. My attorney, Joe, became my friend and he helped me find the person that I used to be. He spent hours and hours talking to me and lifting up my spirit and helping me rediscover the strong and independent person that I was before my marriage. Today, I stand, not as a victim anymore, but as the proud, strong and independent woman that I used to be. So, my painful divorce ended up being an amazing and empowering experience for me. Mr. Torres took care of everything. Very family friendly staff. They made the process so much easier. I am truly grateful. I highly recommend J. Torres.

Joe was there for me in the darkest and scariest times of my life and helped me through them and overcome them. Initially, I had a serious issue that necessitated my seeking an attorney. Never in my life did I think I would have to go through something like that and, yet, I found myself in hot water that Joe expertly pulled me out of. Not only did he help me put that issue behind me, but he did it with such compassion and with no judgment at all. He actually made me feel better about my situation and he helped me to hold my head high. I had hoped I would never have a need for an attorney again, but, unfortunately, my life turned upside down a few years after that and the first person I called was Joe. My marriage had fallen apart and I found myself in a dangerous situation and I didn’t know what to do. Once again, Joe walked me through the whole process, made sure my children and I were safe, and took care of everything for me with expertise and compassion. Without reservation, I highly recommend Joe Torres.

Anyone can hire an attorney for the legal assistance they may need but hiring an attorney who addresses their cases as if it was their own personal situation is very scarce and limited. Mr. Torres is one of those scarce attorneys. He addressed the situations and fought the legal cases with compassion, enthusiasm and professionalism. Mr. Torres’ lengthy legal experience is clear by his repeated history of being able to win cases by conducting the legal matters properly, promptly and correctly. Mr. Torres explains everything in detail, answers all questions and ensures everyone he is representing legally understands all possible outcomes of their legal case. From my personal experience, Mr. Torres represented my family in various legal cases, including two criminal grand jury cases with each one being victorious. Mr. Torres is highly recommended for any legal assistance and representation.

Mr. Torres helped me to resolve my case and fought hard for me to get a good and fair outcome. He did what he said he would do all along the way, and he is a smart, reputable attorney that will fight for your case. Mr. Torres restored my faith that there are still good, honest attorneys who will fight for their clients and he did exactly that. He is very knowledgeable on laws for both misdemeanors and felonies and will make sure your constitutional rights are not violated. I am very happy I contacted and hired Mr. Torres. He is the best attorney I have met. I would highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of a good, well-known, smart attorney because he will fight for what’s right. He is the best attorney in town!

Joe has represented me over the years on several legal matters. At the beginning of every case, he tells me "you know that I cannot guarantee you any particular outcome, but, without a doubt, I will guarantee that I will fight like hell for you." He has always been true to his word.

Thank you Mr. Torres for the commendable work you did on my case. It is finally settled without a trial. I have never been in a lawsuit and had no idea what to expect. You and your staff have gone above and beyond for me and my family as we went through this ordeal. Joe stood by my side for every meeting, every Zoom court hearing, and traveled numerous times to San Antonio to my in-person court hearings just for the prosecution to delay. I was a college student at the time of the criminal charge. Joe and his staff made it easy to communicate and worked with my school/work schedule.
You have no idea how much I appreciate his support. Joe made sense of the evidence lacking that was being used to make a case against me. I am grateful with the outcome of this case. It was dismissed!
With all this behind, I am living life without this weighing me down. Although I hope to never need his services again, I would not hesitate to call Joe first, and I will certainly recommend him to anyone who needs his services. I appreciate everything Joe did for me.

Sometimes situations in life leave us with wrong turns we wish we never made and we find ourselves in need of legal counsel. Joe Torres was the lawyer I used when I was in need. Joe was not judgmental, does his homework, is extremely knowledgeable, and understands what it takes to guide you through a bad situation. He took the time to learn about, not only my case, but my history. He was very empathetic and did his best to show the prosecution that, even though I had made a bad decision, I was not a bad person.
Joe traveled to Austin where my case was and had no problems working with the prosecution and gave me the best outcome I could have hoped for. Joe saved me from what could have been at least a 30-day "vacation".
Thank you, Joe, for everything you did. If I ever make a wrong turn again, I will not hesitate for one minute to call my new friend, Joe Torres.

If you have children or grandkids this can happen to your family. CPS removed my grandkids from their parents. I contacted the law firm of Joe Torres III. The first thing he told me was "don't worry. I'll take care of everything." That's when I knew everything was going to be fine. It's a blessing we have an attorney like Joe Torres who fights for families and doesn't give up. My family will always be grateful.
