This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Top family law attorney

I am incredibly lucky to have found Martha Norton. She tirelessly worked to help me through a very difficult custody situation. Her professionalism, determination, and compassion made me feel secure. With Ms. Norton as my lawyer, I know that I have someone who is willing to help even when the case... is very complicated. I am also always so blown away by her quick-thinking in the courtroom! She is a my personal hero for stepping up and helping me and my family. Thank you!
