There are few experiences more trying and stressful than the emotional trauma and strain often associated with a disputed family matter. When a family is breaking up I believe the legal representatives involved should be mindful of not only the legal faction but also if the heartbreak and uprooting of what was once intended to be a lifeling commitment. Although litigation is often a necessity, it is not always the best answer in the long run. I remain ready to take steps required to involve the court, but first strive to assist my clients in determining their long term interests and to explore options that may ultimately result in a more positive future for them and their children.

Taking the time to write a review to hopefully save someone else from the wasted money (a lot) and headache of working with Colleen. She was not organized, spent a year filing motions and emails with other lawyer and absolutely nothing/no progress was made. Really felt like she didn't have my best ...

Colleen was an excellent choice. She was thoroughly involved in every aspect of the process. She provided very good advice during all stages and managed my case in a very timely manner (from start to finish took less than 6 months).

Attorney Colleen Norman was responsive, a good listener, and advocate while supporting me through a stressful situation. Attorney Norman was knowledgeable of substantive law and legal proceedings. I would highly recommend Attorney Norman as she displays compassion and commitment to her clients.
"I endorse this lawyer. Colleen is an amazing lawyer. She is extremely knowledgeable and ethical. Colleen is a hard work who cares deeply for her clients."
"In addition to her expertise in the field of marital and family law, Ms. Norman is a compassionate individual who cares about her clients. She is a dedicated advocate who always puts her clients' interests first. I recommend her without reservation."
"Colleen is competent and compassionate, and will fight for her clients and for what she believes in."
"Colleen is smart and strong and genuinely cares about her clients. She is a wealth of knowledge in the field of family law."
"I had the opportunity to oppose Ms. Norman in a strenuously litigated case. While the subject matter was unpleasant, Ms. Norman ensured her demeanor and professionalism were kept positive and above the fray which leant considerably to working the matter between counsel."
"I had the pleasure of working with Colleen here in Jacksonville a few years ago, before she relocated her practice to Sarasota. I found her to be bright, hard-working, dedicated, and honest. She works hard for her clients, and she is quite creative and thorough. I would not hesitate to recommend her."
