A Ho-Ho-Kus native, Torre recently worked with the law firm of Sekas and Abrahamsen in Englewood.

He was graduated from Villanova University, majoring in political science, and then Seton Hall Law School two years ago.

Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli (photo, above) assigned Torre to his office’s Appellate Unit.
