Highly recommend!

I came to Mr. Norell's office for help. Came stressed out and lost... And did't even think I would have such a great experience. My case was about workplace discrimination and unpaid wages. I hope I never need his help again :) but I would recommend Mr. Norell to anybody and everybody who is looking... for a good, caring, knowledgeable and SMART lawyer.

Excellent Attorney!

I've hired Mr. Norell twice for various employment related issues. The first when I was owed many years of backpay (even as a salaried employee!) and the second when a company refused to pay me my last paycheck. Both times Mr. Norell was quick, concise, and won both cases with a minimum of help from ...me. Communication was fantastic - I spoke to both he and his staff on numerous occasions and they always had quick and friendly answers to any questions I had. I have recommended Mr. Norell to friends of mine with employment issues and they have all been pleased as well. If I have an issue in the future, he'll be my first call!

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Norell is an extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney. I am a Staffing Industry executive and have utilized his firm on several occasions regarding Non-Compete and Employment Contracts. He was available not only during regular business hours, but also evenings and weekends. Mr. Nor...ell stands out amongst his peers. I recommend him and his firm highly for any employment related legal issues.

A Great Teammate In a Time Of Need!

Rob helped me to, in a calm manner, understand my situation with my employer, separate the illegal activities from what as just undesirable and focus on a resolution that I desired. With Rob's help I clearly presented my position, with confidence, knowing I was protected by the law.

A Champion of Justice and Highly Recommend 5 stars

Mr. Rob Norell - Took a case started by another attorney that had been neglected and poorly executed and got it back on course through hard work, strong legal research and a keen sense of direction. As my employment/discrimination suit against a Fortune Top 100 case moved into arbitraition Mr. No...rell proved to be a strong and tactful negotiator, facing a team of corprate lawyers. My wife and I also felt that Mr. Norell was very considerate of our personal situation and feelings during the case. All the staff is friendly, professional and courteous.
