Meet Christopher J. Torres, Esq. ARK Law Founder & Attorney
Christopher J. Torres founded ARK Law with one simple mission: to help California families protect the people and legacy they have worked so hard to build. As a husband, father of three daughters, and estate planning attorney, Christopher understands that protecting your family’s future is one of life’s greatest responsibilities. That perspective is at the heart of every estate plan he creates.
Before becoming an attorney, Christopher proudly served in the U.S. Navy as a Navy Diver, supporting missions on both the East and West Coasts in roles dedicated to our nation’s security. During his military service, he was recognized for training and preparing fellow service members to perform successfully in some of the world’s most demanding and high pressure environments. Those experiences shaped the discipline, attention to detail, and commitment to service that continue to define his legal practice today.
Christopher earned his Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from San Diego State University before receiving his Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law in San Diego, where he concentrated in Labor and Employment Law.
While in law school, he served the local community through internships with both the Chula Vista City Attorney’s Office and the Community Law Project, providing legal assistance to low-income and underserved individuals and families.
Prior to founding ARK Law, Christopher represented California Public Safety Officers facing internal affairs investigations.
Through helping hundreds of first responders navigate some of the most stressful moments of their careers, he witnessed firsthand how quickly life can change, and how important it is to have a plan in place before the unexpected happens. That experience inspired him to dedicate his practice exclusively to estate planning, helping families prepare for the future with confidence rather than uncertainty.
“I named the firm ARK Law because of the story of Noah’s Ark. Just as the ark protected Noah’s family through the storm, I believe estate planning offers that same kind of protection, a safeguard against the unexpected turns life can bring.” – Chris Torres
“By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.” Hebrews 11:7
