Highly professional and pleasant attorney to work with

I initially reached out to Ken during a difficult time and he was extremely friendly and helpful during our initial consultation. While I already had a different attorney at the time, the experience left a positive impression on me. Fast forward a couple of years later, I needed an immigration att...orney for my wife's green card so reached back out to Ken; and am I glad I did. He is extremely responsive, answers questions more thoroughly than most attorney's I've worked with, and is just an overall joy to work with. I'm now working with him a second time to remove conditions on my wife's green card and he's still just as great to work with. Interestingly enough, I could have gone through my company's immigration law firm free of charge (one of the largest immigration law firms in the world), but I tried working with them and it was clear they were just not on top of things the way Ken was. So I happily paid out of my own pocket (Ken's rates are very reasonable) to hire him. Sometimes, it's better to just work with a local attorney with a personal touch. I would highly recommend Ken's services to anyone!

Mr. Norris is who you hire for best results in all his practice areas!

We have hired Mr. Norris for family law related issues on 2 ocassions as well as sought his legal advice on several things over the past 17 or so years. He is extremely knowledgeable, up front and honest and gets the results you're after! If you have a question Ken cannot answer, he's going to lead y...ou to the best he knows who can!

Hire Ken if you need (Criminal defense+Immigration) Combo Specialist

i hired Ken for immigration related services twice and he exceeded my expectations on both the scenarios. His knowledge and experience on how domestic violence cases are handled in WA state courts is simply fantastic. He provided best possible immigration related services when ever approached,guide...d me with his valuable suggestions at various stages during my pending DV case and helped me even after the case got dismissed with his immigration related advices on how to handle CBP officials while crossing the US border with DV dismissed charge. Most importantly he is very friendly person to approach anytime when in need.Thank you Ken for all your help. I highly recommend Ken for any (Criminal defense/Immigration) related services.

Responsible, kind, and affordable

Mr. Norris helped me adjust a 17 year old criminal conviction two years ago. He was very kind, eager to work on my case, and offered me very affordable fees. I trusted Mr. Norri's past experience as a former prosecutor to address my case which one attorney in the past was unwilling or incompetent to ...handle it. I highly recommend this attorney, would hire his services again, and would recommend him to anyone in need of an honest and kind attorney.
