Mike has been our corporate attorney for over 20 years. When it came time to sell my home in Barrington, I contacted Mike. Mike is very professional and thorough and made this process go smoothly and efficiently. I have nothing but good things to say about Mike and Torch Legal.

Michael has helped our condo association in saving our homeowners on their property taxes and the beauty it cost very little as the savings lasted for years. Our residents were happy especially residents on fixed incomes. The savings for me were at least $3,000.
