Professional, Knowledgeable, Genuine.

After reaching an impasse with a large, domestic automobile manufacturer over its inability to properly correct a factory defect within the statutory confines of state and federal guidelines, I retained the services of Mr. Norris. His expertise in the area of consumer law, especially related to “Lem...on Law,” was clearly superior to all other firms I queried during my search for counsel. I learned throughout my ordeal that most processes available to seek redress of automobile manufacturers are actually written in such a manner as to favor the manufacturer, not the consumer. It is my opinion that skilled, specialized counsel is required to ensure success when the time comes to exercise your rights under what is commonly referred to as “Lemon Law.” Matt Norris is that attorney you want in order to successfully navigate a seemingly complex, and at times, frustrating process. When all was said and done, Mr. Norris skillfully facilitated a settlement that included the re-acquisition of my defective vehicle and all expenses covered by the manufacturer.

The BEST

Matt is the best lemon law attorney! I bought a 2019 Subaru Outback that leaked whenever it rained. It was a nightmare! Subaru couldn’t find the leak. I spent hours, days, weeks trying to get this resolved at the dealership, through my insurance company, my own investigating and researching ...etc, I felt like I was going crazy. I felt defeated. I felt stuck with a car that leaks. I travel for work and started getting headaches every time I drove my car more than 20 mins. Whenever I even mentioned my car might be a lemon the dealership would act defensive like I somehow caused the leak or people would say good luck with that. I didn’t know what to do or who to turn to. I saw Matt’s website online when looking into lemon laws and decided to contact him. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!! Matt contacted me immediately and made me feel normal again. I had loss my confidence and hope but suddenly felt supported and validated. Matt took the ball from there. Literally. I didn’t even have to think about it anymore. He handled EVERYTHING! He would update me on his progress and check in with me other than that I just sat back while he took care of it. It took a couple months, probably due to COVID, but it flew by since I didn’t have to worry anymore, I just had to wait for my new car to come in. Matt arranged everything, walked me thru the entire process of surrendering my old car and getting my brand new car! Matt was there, not physically (I live 4 hrs away) but email/phone/text Matt was right there through the entire process! TODAY I AM DRIVING A 2021 SUBARU OUTBACK that I designed myself!! I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Matt’s help! I AM FOREVER THANKFUL!!! MATT IS THE BEST ATTORNEY AND IN THE END, A TRUE HERO AND FRIEND!!

Never heard back from this lawyer

People recommend him for my auto dealer fraud cases. After first phone call, he asked me for all the documents and evidence I had for my case and mentioned that he will review my case. But after I sent him all the documents. I NEVER EVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK from emails, phone calls or text message. T...here is also no way to contact this lawyer! The number I called always turned into a voice mail box and the message I left never got back. I tried to call him Morning, noon, afternoon and late afternoon but there is not a single time that he would pick up the phone. I don't know if that is done on purpose or not. This is incredibly rude and unprofessional. It is totally fine not to handle my case but AT LEAST KEEP ME INFORMED. I am going to pay for the service not the insulting ignorance.

Replied last November 13, 2017

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with contacting my firm. I strive to make every effort to reach out to people as quickly as I can. Many factors, such as commitments to existing clients, out of office matters, and volume of inquiries can impact the time necessary to review and respond. I did contact you back, and provided you with a detailed written response and suggested ways to gather more facts on your issue. I followed back up with you to confirm that you had received my response, but did not hear back. While I cannot accept every case, I do try to provide prospective clients with additional help by way of other referral sources and avenues to pursue claims independently, such as small claims court . I encourage you to use one of those resources to either find an attorney to take on your case, or to pursue the matter on your own if that is what you choose to do. Either way, I thank you for contacting us, and wish you the best of luck in getting the matter resolved.

We endured until the end

Attorney Matt Norris is awesome! We had a long, drawn out battle with a used car salesman. Matt stuck it out and endured to the end after numerous continuations and long drives. In the end, we were victorious. Hopefully my case will serve notice to used car dealers everywhere, that you cannot just p...olish up a car on the outside knowing that it is junk on the inside and sell to an innocent consumer. This dealer lost and had to pay for his deceitful practices. Thank the Lord, he lead me to Attorney Matt Norris!

Highly Recommend Matt Norris

After purchasing a new 2015 RV travel trailer built by a well known RV manufacturer our troubles began. During our 1st year repairs took in excess of 190 days to fix. We then began searching for a "Lemon Law" attorney here in NC but quickly found no lemon law applied to non-motorized RV's but, Magn...usson-Moss Warranty Act could apply. Searching for a attorney finally lead us to Matt Norris who, after reviewing our case and meeting with us, agreed that we did have a viable case. We agreed to sue the RV manufacturer and hired Matt. Final outcome was a fair settlement. We cannot thank Matt enough for not wavering when dealing with a large corporation selected attorney. Matt kept us informed each step of the journey and advised us appropriately, and that paid off for us. We highly recommend Matt Norris (Norris Law Firm), he is very professional, honest and has good integrity.
