Financial claims and business disputes may require court action, but there are alternatives such as arbitration and mediation. Attorney Michael Torchalski effectively represents business clients in courts and other forums.

His results include:

  • Over $17 million in judgments and $5 million in statewide recoveries for an auto finance company (contingent fee collections).
  • $1.2 million arbitration award for a shareholder in a closely held corporation.
  • $400,000 in arbitration and litigation recoveries for a manufacturer involved in several inventory supply-chain disputes.
  • Successful defense against claims for attorney’s fees in a trade secrets case.
  • Successful defense of a trucking company, including UCC sale of detained cargo with recovery in excess of $100,000.

Although no lawyer can ethically guarantee an outcome in litigation, Attorney Michael Torchalski understands the expectations of business clients and gets results!


Every case is different, and each client's case must be evaluated and handled on its own merits. The facts and circumstances of your case may differ from the matters in which results have been provided. All results of cases handled by the lawyer/firm have not been provided. The results provided are not necessarily representative of results obtained by the firm or of the experience of all clients or others with the firm.
