EXCELLENT SERVICE, EXCELLENT LAWYER

Mr. Norell is an outstanding lawyer. From day one he was honest, trustworthy, told me exactly what to and not to expect from my case. He kept me informed, and provided feedback on my opinions and the outcome of my decisions, before I could make a final decision. When the time was right, he made it cl...ear that it was time to end case and close the matter. I would and will refer Mr. Norell to anyone I know that would find themselves in the same situation I was, and wouldn't hesitate in doing so, as well as seeking his services myself, if that would ever be necessary again.

Very personable and expeditious!

Robert was great to work with. I never met him personally but over the phone it was like we knew each other for years. He explained the process thoroughly and always kept me informed when he had contact with the opposing party. My claim was processed and monies granted to me within 2 months! I ...would and have recommend Robert any time!

GREAT individual. Gives Lawyers a GOOD name.

Great individual. Gratiously acknowledged that I could be better served by a local attorney and called a colleague on my behalf. Absolutely went above and beyond. Very personable and down to earth, with a sense of humor. Very refreshing as this is the first time in my life I have ever even consider...ed obtaining a lawyer or getting legal advise.

A Rarity -- An Attorney with Integrity!

I have dealt with my fair share of attorneys, and Mr. Norell stands alone. When I first called Mr. Norell, he took the time to really listen and did not at all try to pitch me his services. He was candid and helpful. After calling several attorneys, I decided to take my matter to Mr. Norell because... he earned my business -- I found him to not only be knowledgeable but to be honest and forthcoming. The matter I required assistance with was not one that he typically takes on, but he did not shy away from it and ended up handling it with great diligence and skill. My situation was truly unjust and recognizing this, Mr. Norell ultimately managed to have the claim against me dismissed -- the best case scenario. Mr. Norell never hounded me for money like other attorneys, but was always focused on finding the best resolution. I truly believe that his approach is unlike other attorneys I have interacted with and this is a testament to his professionalism and goodwill. Throughout what was a very stressful and unpleasant time for me, he exhibited true kindness and humanity at many junctures, for which I am very grateful. However don't take it from me --- He is also known and respected by the legal community-- even the opposing counsel was fond of him, which was useful to initiating good dialogue and negotiating my dismissal. Smart, kind, savvy and hardworking ---It's hard to find an attorney these days that's not focused only on what he can make off you, but instead on what he can do for you-- that's Norell through and through.
