Torrey is a seasoned trial lawyer trusted with the most complex, high-stakes investigations and prosecutions—across courtrooms, industries, and regulators.
More About Torrey
In the courtroom, Torrey has tried federal jury trials that received national attention relating to fraud, false statements, securities, wire, and tax fraud charges. She skillfully argues motions, cross-examines fact and expert witnesses, and has been integral to the oral and written advocacy for clients. Torrey’s representation of clients in many industries reflects her versatility as a lawyer and problem-solver.
She has deep experience representing clients in the health care and life sciences space. Her skills extend to conducting internal investigations, providing Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) analyses, implementing compliance programs, advising on Medicare and Medicaid issues, and defending False Claims Act (FCA) claims. For example, Torrey secured a declination of criminal prosecution for a lab management company, and a dismissal of a qui tam case prior to trial for a health system provider group. She also secured summary determination in her nursing home owner client’s favor for several health care counts in a special proceeding brought by the New York Attorney General’s Office. Torrey has guided a wide range of health and life science clients, including individual health care providers and companies, health systems, laboratories, researchers, home health agencies, hospices, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, telehealth companies, marketers, management service companies, pharmacies, and DMEPOS suppliers with issues that extend to FCA, Stark, AKS, EKRA, EMTALA, HIPAA, and CMP Law.
In two of the biggest cryptocurrency cases in history, Torrey played a key role in briefing and at sentencing. She is particularly adept at analyzing data and negotiating loss amounts, restitution, and forfeiture.
Past clients also include individuals and companies in energy, sports, and financial services, including those facing antitrust, sexual harassment, bribery, RICO, and SEC violation allegations. She has effectively defended clients in a number of administrative proceedings, including with hospitals, universities, and the NCAA. Torrey skillfully navigates the Office of Inspector General, state Attorney General offices, United States Attorney’s Offices, and the Department of Justice. Some of her best advocacy is before a case ever reaches a courtroom. She has successfully mediated civil disputes, and she has more than once convinced federal prosecutors to abandon their criminal cases.

“Torrey is a tenacious advocate for her clients. She is really creative on cross-examination.” —Client feedback
