He has successfully represented thousands of clients for injuries caused by careless people and victoriously defended hundreds of clients against criminal charges.. Torinto's training began in Las Vegas, NV where he worked for the state's largest personal injury firm. This was a high volume firm where Torinto was busy negotiating hundreds of claims each year, pre-litigation. Later, Torinto moved to Texas and secured public defender contracts with several counties. This gave Torinto a lot of courtroom experience defending clients in jury trials. With experience under his belt, Torinto was hired to work for the largest personal injury firm in Texas. This was also a high volume firm, but this time Torinto worked litigation and was scheduled for trial every month.. To further his knowledge of the law Torinto took and break from working and went back to law school to earn a Master of Laws degree (LL.M.). He graduated with highest honors in 2012. Today, Torinto enjoys a balanced practice of negotiating cases that should be settled and taking the rest to trial.. In addition to being a lawyer, Torinto has been sworn-in as Commissioner Pro Tem for the Stevens County Superior Court and is the current president of the local Bar Association. He is licensed to practice law in Washington, Texas, Connecticut, and New York. In 2012, Torinto was admitted to argue cases before the Supreme Court of the United States..

I spent my formative years here in the Northwest in a little town called Bigfork, located on Flathead Lake in Montana. It was during those years that I grew to love the mountains and all that this part of the country has to offer. There was rarely a time in my life that I did not dream of coming back to the Northwest. As fate would have it, in 2006 I was able to come back and start practicing law in the area. I live just outside Colville, with my wife and two children, on a piece of property close to my sister and her family. My sister is a Physician here in town and was my initial connection to Colville. My mother also lives here in Colville, and it’s the first time we have all lived in the same town since I was in High School. It has been a welcome change.. I did my undergraduate studies at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. I double majored in Environmental Studies and History. When I graduated in 1996, I decided to start graduate school in Forestry at Michigan Tech University in Houghton, Michigan. I really loved it up there in the U.P., but decided to change course and continue my education by becoming a law student. I began law school in 1997 at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. I graduated in 2000 and began preparing for the Bar Exam.. I passed the bar in 2000 and hung my own shingle shortly thereafter. I decided early on that I did not want to sell my soul to a large firm. I wanted to have a life with my future family, and I didn’t feel that that would mix well with 72 hour work weeks. I practiced successfully for 6 years as a General Practice Attorney in Des Moines, Iowa. I was involved in mostly litigation, spending much of that time in the court room on various civil and criminal cases.. During that time, my family was doing well, and my wife had no desire to move. However, the opportunity to finally be able to get back to my roots came. I convinced my wife to make the trek half way across the country to Colville. I worked with McGrane & Scheurman for over three years and, in 2009, made the decision to start my own practice here in Colville.. Mission Statement. In the overall practice of law, the courtroom is definitely where I excel. My goal is to provide the highest quality legal service through the use of my experience, ethical standards, and commitment to zealous representation in the courts. I enjoy the legal battle in the trenches, and I am dedicated to serving my clients in the most effective and efficient manner possible. However, as much as I enjoy the court room, I also understand that most cases should never see a trial. I won’t fight for fighting’s sake. I believe it is far more important to control the outcome of a client’s case through careful case preparation, presentation, and negotiation. If the attorneys are the only people who have won at the end of a case, I did not do my job.
