Posted by MARIA | July 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket
Professional and straightforward
I got two traffic tickets in two different counties so searching for the right lawyer who had experience in both Durham and Alamance was highly important me.

I recommend Lynn Norton-Ramirez without any reservation
There is no exaggeration to say that attorney Norton-Ramirez gave me a second life.

Replied last May 25, 2015Thank you. I do have a different approach to representation. My goal is to represent you to the fullest regarding the pending case but I also want you to avoid potential future problems. I do not want you to need my services again. I have built a successful practice by making sure that I take the time to explain the legal issues, allegations and defenses so my clients can understand why they are being charged. Then we can have a meaningful discussion so I can ascertain what the client’s objective is and do everything possible to accomplish that goal. If there is a “root” problem such as undiagnosed or untreated mental illness, anger management, substance abuse or lack of social support, I will take all steps necessary to obtain all necessary assistance to rectify these issues. My goal is to obtain the best result in your case but also ensure that all steps are taken to minimize similar issues arising in the future. I want you to succeed and if "root" issues are not addressed, they will be repeated.

She was extremely knowledgeable about the workings of Durham district court and mad...

Ms. Norton helped me with a theft case in Durham. She got me into the Teen Court program and after I participated in that program, my case was dismissed. She then filed papers to erase the charge. Now I can go on to college without worrying about this case.
