also known as Michelle Moore Norton
As an Assistant State's Attorney, I handled thousands of cases, from petty traffic offenses to the most serious felony cases. Having had that invaluable experience as a prosecutor, I am uniquely able to assess a client's chances of success in the local criminal courts.
Additionally, I've had the opportunity to befriend many of my courtroom adversaries as well as courtroom staff. As a result, I am often able to negotiate from a familiar standpoint that typically benefits my clients.
During the course of my 6 years at the State's Attorneys office, I spent approximately ten months working on domestic violence cases, one year exclusively on DUI cases, and the last 14 months handling high-volume drug delivery/trafficking cases. Through these assignments, I became intimately familiar with constitutional issues of search and seizure, and the many bases for the suppression of evidence.
As a trial attorney, I had the benefit of trying hundreds of cases as a prosecutor, and have utilized those skills in hearings and trials for my clients. In addition to having an active trial practice, I train and coach a high school trial team which has been in the Illinois State competition finals for the past three years, and have advised the Loyola law school trial team (1994 - 1998). In this sense, I am an example of a person who not only can successfully try a case, but can teach others with less experience and training how to be effective advocates in a courtroom.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of hiring Michelle, a criminal defence attorney, and I must say that I was deeply disappointed with her services. Throughout the entire process, she exhibited a lack of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that left me feeling let down and unsupported. ...

This lady is a complete hypocrite she gives jail sentences for the most frivolous crimes. I bet her own peers she would do slap on the wrist if any county workers gets in trouble. The movement for injustice for prosecutors start with Norton she should be ashame to even be a lawyer for other countie...

A few years back I was getting into a lot of trouble kind of like I am now and Michelle really looked after me I didn’t hire her as a lawyer during the one time as my case is dismissed as we thought we were going to be working together she was very professional and one thing I really like the people ...

I worked with Michelle on purchasing my first home and I’m so grateful I did! I felt so protected and calm through the whole process. Being new to it I knew nothing but anytime there was any small issue I worried and then Michelle would explain it and tell me not to worry at all and that reassurance ...

I used Michelle for my DUI case, as have some of my friends. I truly do not think she is ethical and has her own agenda. My case is old (2012) but I was just reviewing a great attorney so thought I’d mention my poor feelings on Michelle. If you have a DUI, she will preface that she cares but in hinds...
This is a fake review; I’ve never had a personal “agenda” other than to provide the best representation and secure the best results for my clients. I tell all of my clients that their best outcomes will happen if they follow my advice; those who do as I advise, typically have very favorable dispositions on their cases. I would love for “Jen” and “her friends” to contact my office and discuss their concerns directly so that I can address them properly — if they are legitimate.
