Andy Robert Norman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer as being superbly knowledgeable in the area of fraud and consumer issues and recommend him for anyone needing a lawyer in that area of law."
"I have known Andy Norman for almost 30 years. During those years, I have consulted with him for help on my cases and well as referred him cases. Andy can be counted on for the depth and breath of his knowledge as well as his ethics and honesty. I consider Andy one of the top consumer law advocates in the city, but would trust him with any piece of litigation that fell into his expertise. There are some attorneys who litigate as though it is their own fight. They look bad to the Court and to colleagues and they make their clients look bad. Andy has never been one of those types of lawyers. If Andy were the standard by which attorneys were judged, there would not be any negative images of attorneys in the public."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. He is a diligent, hardworking and thoughtful professional. He has a wealth of experience, including trial experience and appellate experience. Also he is a caring and concerned attorney."
