Find someone else.

His presence in my case was lackluster at best. He did not guide me through the process. He did not fight for what I wanted and instead rolled over. Despite what I asked of him, he did not perform to the standards you would want or need from a divorce/ custody attorney. He was a complete waste of... my time and money.

Great attorney

When calling the office, I was immediately connected to him personally. I had never been in any trouble and had a no contact order violation from an abusive ex. I was probably not the easiest client, due to the fact that I had never had any trouble with the law and had no clue what I was doing. I w...as apprehensive at first, as he did not seem super confident-however he was being realistic and giving me all situations that could happen. He spoke to the county attorney and had my charges dropped so I did not even have to see a judge. He should get a 6th star for driving through a snow storm on terrible roads 90 miles and still making it to speak to the county attorney. Highly reccomend.

Client

I recently was charged with an OWI and was in need of an attorney to represent me/defend me. I spent several days searching online, made several phone calls to different law offices, left messages, etc, with no success. I finally found Austin's information online and gave his office a call. He w...as actually available to speak with me and within a short time, had agreed to represent me. From day one, Austin was clear, straightforward and helpful in guiding me through the pitfalls associated with an OWI charge. I can't say enough about his intelligence and knowledge of the law. As a result of his representation, I received the best possible outcome for a person in my situation. Unbelievably so. If you are looking for an attorney to truly represent your interests, an attorney who is kind to his clients, thoughtful, smart and knowledgeable of the law, then I can heartily recommend that you contact Austin and find out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Austin Norden

First time needing a lawyer, so i was very skeptical through the whole process. Austin was very intelligent, direct, and responsive! I felt like he really listened and had my best interest. although i have chose another direction to handle matters out of court, I will always go to Austin first becaus...e of the relationship we established! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. very affordable, and flexible. he is a young lawyer who is hungry, and ready to take action! we were always ahead, and on time! the process moved quickly and smoothly. if you need somebody who is ready to go, Austin Norden is your guy!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
