Mary Torres

Attorney

Mary R. Torres brings uncompromising advocacy and deep technical expertise to complex construction disputes. Board certified in Construction Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization—a distinction held by fewer than 200 attorneys statewide—she combines sophisticated legal strategy with comprehensive industry knowledge to deliver decisive results for clients facing high-stakes construction litigation.

​

Ms. Torres has built her practice around the intricate challenges of construction law, where major construction projects, complex contractual relationships, and technical engineering issues converge in the courtroom. Her board certification demonstrates mastery of construction defect claims, payment disputes, delay claims, mechanic's liens, and contract interpretation—expertise that proves invaluable when projects go wrong and litigation becomes inevitable.

​

Drawing on her unique background with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Real Estate from the University of North Texas, Ms. Torres understands construction disputes from both legal and business perspectives. This dual expertise allows her to craft litigation strategies that not only address immediate legal issues but also protect clients' broader commercial interests and ongoing business relationships.

​

During law school at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law (now Texas A&M University School of Law), Ms. Torres distinguished herself as Executive Articles Editor of the Texas Wesleyan Journal of Real Property Law and gained valuable courtroom insight serving as an intern for the Honorable Judge Brenda Hull Thompson in The Probate Court of Dallas County.

​

A native of Haltom City, Texas, Ms. Torres maintains active leadership roles in the Tarrant County Bar Association's Real Estate and Construction Sections, the State Bar of Texas Construction Law Section, and the American Bar Association, keeping her at the forefront of evolving construction law and litigation trends.

​

When construction projects become legal battles, clients turn to Ms. Torres for her relentless advocacy and proven ability to navigate the technical complexities that define construction litigation success.
