– Phil Tortorich, Founder | TORCH LAW
TORCH LAW was founded on a shared love for family.
Our desire is to provide family members – both yours and ours, today and tomorrow – with the opportunity to participate in life in a way that’s meaningful to them.
For us, love is a verb. It’s what you do that counts. And we view legacy as love in action. It’s something we actively build for our own families, and for our clients on behalf of their families. It all begins with the first of many conversations.
We’ll talk about how we can…
When we accept trusteeship for a client, we do things a little differently than other firms. For instance, we won’t charge you a fee or percentage of the assets. That’s now how we work. We’re honored to accept trusteeship as an accommodation to our clients. We take our legal and fiduciary responsibility very seriously. And we’ll resign at any time at a client’s request. Instead of asset-based fees, we simply bill by the hour for the work performed, which often results in meaningful savings for our clients.
How do we help our UHNW Estate & Wealth Planning clients?
We’ll let one of them tell you.
‶Phil is just amazing. He did a fantastic job working through a very complex situation. No matter how busy he is, he finds a way to make time for you, make sure you feel special, and get the things done that need to get done. He’s just such a level headed problem solver. He’s the counselor to people who are going through a lot, and gets them to talk about things they don’t want to talk about. He’s that calm force that you need in these situations. And honestly, I don’t know how he does it. It’s such a hard thing with a large estate to be impartial and get it across the finish line, but that’s what Phil does. It takes humility and honesty, someone who is not a yes man, and Phil is that person.
If you take the more complex clients, you have to be exhaustive and discreet. Phil has amazing discretion. These clients are demanding and complex and expect a lot. And it’s a dedicated, longterm relationship. He is just so good, such a great lawyer, he can put the most complex situation in layman’s terms so that everyone understands it.
He’s a partner. 100%. He’s putting love and care into what he’s putting on that piece of paper. And he’s a good human on top of being a good attorney. He is just an ethical, hard-working, kind and caring individual. And he’s wild, he’s funny, he is fantastic to work with. He really is. This is his niche. And he kills it.″
