A Personal Mission From Our Founder

John Torgenson grew up in Southern Utah as a minority, facing discrimination and challenges that shaped his fighting spirit. His journey from humble beginnings to Notre Dame Law School wasn’t easy, but it forged his determination to stand up for those who need an advocate. After working at Arizona’s oldest law firm, John realized his true calling was helping injured people rebuild their lives. “These cases are personal to me,” John often says. “I take it personally and treat clients as if they’re part of our family.” This isn’t just a tagline—it’s the foundation of how he built Torgenson Law from the ground up.

Our Core Values in Action

At Torgenson Law, “It’s Personal” means standing by five core principles in everything we do.

Loyalty

We demonstrate loyalty by staying with clients through every step of their recovery journey, even when cases become challenging.

Trust

We build trust through complete transparency about case progress and settlements, with a promise to never take more than our clients.

Integrity

Our Fair Fee Guarantee reflects a simple promise: your recovery comes first.

Empathy

We take time to understand how your injury affects your life, family, and future.

Work Ethic

We put in the long hours, prepare with purpose, and dig into the details because insurance companies have lawyers working to protect their interests.

The people behind your case bring diverse backgrounds but share a common mission. Our team includes attorneys, paralegals, case managers, and support staff who’ve chosen Torgenson Law because they believe in our approach. Many have been with us for over a decade—like Corina (Coco), our Director of First Impressions, who’s been welcoming clients for almost 11 years. Each team member can tell you what “It’s Personal” means to them, from helping clients navigate medical appointments to celebrating milestones in their recovery. We’re not just processing cases. We’re helping rebuild lives.

A Firm That Put Me First.

“After a very bad dog bite I tried to work with owners but my injury was pretty severe. Once I realized I had multiple surgeries in front of me I decided I needed legal help. I interviewed several law firms but Torgenson Law best met my needs. Torgenson Law is a smaller firm that was able to give me the personal attention I needed. John Torgenson and his team did a great job keeping my case moving and getting a favorable settlement. They even helped negotiate medical costs to keep them down and reasonable. I strongly recommend John Torgensen and his team”

Raised Fighting Bullies. Now Battling For You.

Torgenson Law isn’t just another firm with a catchy jingle. We give each client the attention they deserve. We don’t use cookie-cutter approaches because every injury affects people differently. Our practice was built through word-of-mouth and reputation, not by outspending competitors on marketing. When you call a billboard firm, you’ll likely talk to a call center representative working from a script. When you call us, you talk to real people who listen to your story and care about your outcome.

When you work with us, expect a fundamentally different experience. For your case, you can have John’s personal cell phone number, something billboard firms would never consider. Every client receives their own dedicated text messaging number with immediate response. We strive to keep the lines of communication with our clients open and always provide updates at each stage of every case. We have a bilingual staff that is fluent in both English and Spanish so we can provide stellar representation to all residents of Arizona.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was first introduced to Torgenson Law By my cousin After a dog attacked myself and my own Dog Abby. I wanted justice for my medical injuries and my mental PTSD from this traumatic attack. And I wanted justice for the traumatic injuries my Abby suffered. My Cousin told me that Torgenson Law specialized in these kinds of attacks and that they had great reviews. So I called. From the first call I felt cared for, and that they had all my best interests in mind. I loved the fact that they wanted to know not only how I was doing, but was concerned about Abby. They made sure all of my medical needs were taken care of from day ONE! Arranging all the medical appointments for me and no billing was ever talked about just my health. In the end I was very happy with the outcome of my case. Jennifer was very entuned to my needs and always made sure myself and Abby would have the best outcome possible with the situation that happened. And the settlement will help take care of my follow up medical needs as well as My Abbys follow up medical concerns. You will be very happy with your choice with Torgenson Law.
Sincerely Elzie & Abby.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This spring I was attacked by a dog in the face. I was working at a grooming salon & my life changed after that. I had stitches in 3 areas of my face & spent the weekend in the ER. I couldn’t be around dogs & lost the 2nd job I had due to ptsd as well. Two careers gone. I had never been through anything like this and have never needed a lawyer. I was so scared, vulnerable & out of my depth. I spoke with a few lawyers but none of them felt right or even seemed like they cared. Then I called Torgenson and from the minute they answered the phone they’ve been so compassionate, caring and protective of me. I had the BEST Paralegal (Thank you Ashley for your words of encouragement as I healed!!) and the fiercest Lawyer, Ariana, who stood up for me & fought for me when I just couldn’t. Torgenson not only cared about my financial well being, but also my mental and emotional health. They found me the best Trauma Therapist & I worked so hard with her to heal & embrace myself. This entire process showed me that, while Life may take us down roads we never thought we’d go down… if we take a moment to reach out to the correct people, the helpers, those who genuinely care about humans… then we have a chance at getting back on our feet again. That’s exactly what Torgenson did for me. The entire time I was home alone, healing & embracing myself, I realized I wanted to help others do the same & decided to go back to school & become a medical aesthetician. Something I can do with ease because Torgenson didn’t just fight for me to regain my financial losses but they fought for my ability to rebuild a life that had been stripped of its security. I will always be grateful to Torgenson Law and can not recommend them enough. I start my new chapter this August where I will learn the ins & outs of healing the skin & because of Torgenson, I might be able to put the healing finishing touches on other victims who are rebuilding their new lives too. All of that to say. If you’re in need, I highly suggest. Best of Luck in your journey.

I cannot say enough good things about my personal injury attorney Ariana Byrd and their team. After suffering a serious dog attack that resulted in significant injuries, medical treatment, surgery, and a long recovery, they guided me through every step of the legal process with professionalism, compassion, and expertise.

From our first meeting, they took the time to listen, answer my questions, and make sure I understood what to expect. They fought tirelessly on my behalf, kept me informed throughout the case, and always made me feel like a priority.

Thanks to their dedication and hard work, my case resulted in a full settlement. Their attention to detail, negotiation skills, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome exceeded my expectations.

If you are looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers results, I highly recommend them. I am incredibly grateful for everything they did for me and my family during such a difficult time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When my son was attacked by a dog, Torgenson Law made a nightmare situation less stressful. I submitted a consult form online, and I heard back from an attorney with the firm, Ariana Byrd, within hours…on a weekend!

Ariana didn’t just explain the legal process to me, but she showed compassion and sympathy that went far above any professional responsibility. She welcomed the questions I had and provided information in a way I could easily understand it. She checked in on my son and offered her support throughout the process.

Other members of the Torgenson legal team were polite and responsive, as well. They made providing documentation and pictures simple for me, and they requested the documentation they needed which reduced my stress greatly. Ariana and the team at Torgenson Law demonstrated their expertise with homeowners insurance, medical insurance, and dog attacks to reach a settlement faster and better than I could have imagined.

I hope nobody ever has to go through what my son has experienced, but if you have, I highly recommend the legal team at Torgenson Law. They will work with you to get what you deserve without unnecessary delays!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired this firm after a dog attack and I cannot recommend them enough. John Torgenson, Ariana Byrd, Jennifer Harmon, and the entire team were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in my case, not just the outcome, but my individual situation. They actually listened.

They kept me informed every step of the way, communicated consistently with updates, and resolved my case in a shorter timeframe than I expected. I got exactly what I was looking for and more!

If you're dealing with a dog attack or personal injury case and want a team that truly cares, look no further. I would recommend to anyone around me!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Torgenson Law Group was phenomenal from start to finish. Ariana (attorney) and Jennifer (case manager) were fast, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. Communication was consistent and clear — I always knew what was happening with my case.
My accident was on November 30th, and I had my settlement in my bank account by February 10th. Ariana is a bulldog in the best way — exactly who you want negotiating on your behalf. They handled everything efficiently and made the process easy.
My husband and I are both represented by them, and my claim has already been maxed out and settled. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This year I was attacked by a dog and I was lost on what to do or go about it with hospital bills and everything in between. Torgenson Law was definitely there to help! I worked with Ari and Candice and they took care of everything. It was a stress free lawsuit and a fast moving one as well, I got everything I was promised. If I am ever in a situation again as I was back in May, Torgenson will be the only law firm I will trust. Thank you guys so much for taking care of everything during a stressful time and not adding more trauma onto the situation, you’re truly appreciated!
