Tory Christensen and his wife moved here three years ago from Stockton with their three young children to find a safer place to raise a family.

And he would know.

The former deputy district attorney prosecuted all varieties of crime in San Joaquin County. In his new position with Slovak Baron Empey Murphy & Pinkney, Christensen practices primarily litigation, resolving legal issues for businesses, agencies, and individuals.

“I feel like life is all about being happy and helping those around you to be happier as well,” Christensen says. “Whether it is through work, with family, or through activities outside of both, interaction between people, learning from each other, and helping to resolve problems makes me happy.”

Christensen values his generation for its drive, innovation, and thinking outside the box.

“As a result, we are doing new work, taking on tasks, achieving things, and breaking molds that are surprising to me,” he says.
