The Firm From its founding in 1924 to its present-day status as a leading law firm, Tornaritis Law Firm has demonstrated a sustained commitment to excellence in the practice of law, public service and a civil society.

Today, the firm includes lawyers who have the experience, maturity and legal skills to handle a wide range of legal problems.
