Medical Malpractice, Wrongful Death

During initial meeting, thoroughly laid out the sequence of steps through which the case would proceed. Included information needed from client, information needed through research with other agencies involved and possible outcomes. His process description was very understandable to the layman with... spot on accuracy. For example, he said expect 4 months for this type of case and that's exactly how long it took. That's experience talking. Timely updates as the case unfolded. Updates keyed on new developments but Mr Norman was always available to answer questions and quick to respond back when asked. Client options presented with sound explanations and legal advice rendered along the way as needed. Superior outcome was within the parameters he initially presented. Total confidence in Mr Norman. Made the entire process run smoothly due to his professionalism, dedication, experience and unwavering commitment to his clients' best interests. Hold him in the highest regard for his handling of this case. Unequivocally recommend him to others seeking medical malpractice legal services - first choice!

Chris Norman, Attorney Extraordinaire!

Attorney Chris Norman was exceptionally personable while maintaining an extremely professional relationship. His interpersonal skills are so well developed that it was a seamless partnership of trust, confidentiality and compassion. My husband and I from the outset, felt totally understood and prote...cted; there was an immediate sense of relief that the legal process would be handled with care and that we would receive the highest level of legal advice. We believed that Attorney Norman was fully committed to ensuring we would have the best possible outcome and we certainly did!!! We are clear that what distinguishes him would be his determination, laser focus, thorough approach to details, research and development of all angles of the case. We felt that he left no page "unturned". His quiet and steady confidence, even temperament and in-depth knowledge of all matters concerning our case, resulted in an excellent outcome for our family! We would highly recommend his services and can assure you will have an excellent experience!
