Age Discrimination

Mr Norell listened and handled my case very well. I am very pleased of the outcome of the case. I will highly recommend him as a reliable lawyer.

Posted by Antonio Rodriguez | December 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

My friend the Attorney.

When looking for some law firm to help me with my case i obviously called a few of the large ones first. they made me fell like a number. id give my name the someone would call but ask some questions. then another call from an attorney to say that there was no case BUT if i gave them some money they ...try to help me with no guaranty. then one of my kid searched the net and found Robert. to my supersizes he called him self. right of the bat i felt as i was talking to a friend that was looking for the best way to help my cause. i feel at ease and after about a hour on the phone he found a solution for me that some time later it became a nice settlement that went a long way to me recover from my dilemma. If i ever have a problem or anyone i know has a labor dispute he will always be the first one to call. that old saying that lawyers are bottom feeders well he is not and has a place at table right next to me and my family.

A 5 Star lawyer

Even though Mr. Norell din't take my case I can say that He is THE BEST . He took all the time to listen to me and analyze my case, in depth. He explained all the options , possibilities of success and negative aspects of my case. I truly understood how my case was not good enough to pursue and felt ...sad of not knowing him before I made some mistakes that affected my case. I highly recommend Him. Thanks Mr. Norell

5 Stars - Outstanding Employment Law Attorney!

I retained Robert Norell to recover unpaid compensation from a former employer. Throughout the process, Mr. Norell was responsive, informative, and always followed through on what was required to move the case along. Mr. Norell is a hands-on attorney. He personally works the case, learns the detai...ls inside and out, and aggressively pursues what is rightfully yours. I could not be more pleased with Mr. Norell's representation and negotiation skills. In the end, Mr. Norell secured a substantial settlement in this case for me. I am grateful I met Mr. Norell and chose him to handle my case. If you have a legal matter with a current or former employer, I highly recommend Mr. Norell's services.

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.
