Details
Working as a personal injury attorney for nearly two decades, John P. Torgenson has turned his profession into a commitment of helping good people who have been hurt due to the negligence of others. From his Phoenix, Arizona, law firm Torgenson Law, he has used his shrewd legal acumen to represent clients in a plethora of personal injury matters, including:
- Automobile collisions
- Rideshare accidents
- Trucking wrecks
- Aviation accidents
- Slip-and-falls
- Nursing home negligence and abuse
- Dog bites
- Drowning accidents
- Burn injuries
A fierce advocate, Mr. Torgenson has made a name for himself within the Arizona legal community as a compassionate attorney who always looks out for the underdog. He has regularly taken on large conglomerates and corporations on behalf of victims. He has also powered through cases involving insurance companies that do not properly compensate his clients and instead are just concerned about their bottom line.
Mr. Torgenson’s first foray into the legal field was as a student at The University of Utah, where he completed his undergraduate studies in speech communication and pre-law in 2001. Gaining admission into the University of Notre Dame The Law School, he received his Juris Doctor in 2004, and in the same year, his license to practice in Arizona. Additionally, he is admitted to practice before the United States District Court for the District of Arizona and the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
An avid member of his legal community, Mr. Torgenson is a part of the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association (now the Arizona Association for Justice) and the Los Abogados Hispanic Bar Association. For his contributions, he was recognized as one of Arizona’s Top Entrepreneurs 35 Years and Younger by The Arizona Republic, and he is rated “Superb” on Avvo and hosts many positive testimonials on the site as well. A native Spanish speaker, he ensures that with Arizona having a mighty Latin presence, no loss of communication occurs with his Spanish-speaking clients and that every issue is properly addressed.
