David Lawrence Norris

I had a personal injury case happened in one of the properties under management in north Jersey due to a third party negligence. As the plaintiff sued, I was on a mission to find a good lawyer for defence. I interviewed 30+ attorneys in north Jersey, central Jersey and all of them come across as mo...ney hungry ambulance chasers that demand very high upfront money deposit, sky high hourly rates and minimum spendings while shown little interest in the case itself. Some just said there was not enough money in the case for them to be interested. Undaunted, I kept calling. I spoke to one of the partners in a big law firm in Hackettstown and he highly recommended his former colleague David Norris who had gone on to have his own practice. He said David was smart, young, aggressive, knowledgeable, experienced, skillful, and with a golden heart and integrity. I spoke to David over the phone and he came across exactly as that. I hired him on the spot. Fast forward two years later - yes, he worked on the case for two years! - David settled the case without incurring any liability or wrong doing on my part - zero. In the two years I have been working with David on the case, he demonstrated additional qualities that are highly desirable in an attorney: (1) he is wise beyond his age. He knows when to be aggressive and then to take a back seat in a multi-party lawsuit. He understands the various forces and motivations at play and he acts accordingly that is most advantage to his client (as opposed to most of lawyers just raking in the fees); (2) David does not nickel and dime his clients by billing every phone call and email. One cannot ask more than that; (3) David communicates on a timely manner and is straight forward on all the issues. He takes the time to explain the various factors that could impact the case in different directions and his strategies accordingly. This is excellence in law practice. I know David does not advertise for his services. His clients are all from word of month. However, personal injuries, insurance claims, litigations don't happen to folks on a regular basis. If you are in an unfortunate situation like me, I want to be your word of month and highly recommend David Norris to be the attorney to handle your case.
