This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Prospective client

This man explains your rights clearly and precisely. Has integrity to tell a potential client how the prosecutor and police can lie to get a conviction. And I just called for a free consultation. I do plan to hire him in near future

Bogus case

I received bogus charges (that were sent to me in the mail more than a week later) for crimes that were NEVER committed at a professional sporting event, and Mr. Norman helped resolve this case in a manner that was acceptable to all parties involved. These charges came about because I told the tru...th regarding a racist and intellectually-challenged athlete (who has threatened the life of at least one law enforcement officer but was never cited for his words) during a basketball game, and after I had a t-shirt stolen from me by security as they were escorting me out of the arena FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. Thanks to Will the matter will be expunged from my record, but sadly, the athlete I accurately described that night will always be a SPINELESS QUITTER who is admired by fools.

Case Dismissed!

Mr. Norman represented me in a criminal matter. I was referred to him by another attorney in the area. Mr. Norman made me feel like a priority! Although he is very busy, he made himself very accessible which was very important to me as this was a stressful situation. He made a point to really lis...ten and ask questions about all that had happened, which gave me reassurance that he knew what he was doing. When we finally went to court, to my amazement, case was dismissed!! He fought for me! Great lawyer!
