Josephine R. Norton

There are truly not enough words to express how grateful I am to Merel Family Law, especially Josie and Samantha, for helping me through one of the hardest chapters of my life. For almost two years, they stood beside me through every court date, every setback, every stressful moment, and every vic...tory. There were days when I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what would happen next, but I always knew I had Josie and Samantha in my corner. Josie was more than just my attorney. She was like a big sister who protected me throughout this entire journey. She listened when I needed someone to hear me, reassured me when I was scared, and fought for me and my children when I didn't have the strength to fight for myself. She always made me feel supported, valued, and understood. No matter how difficult things became, I knew she was in my corner. Samantha was absolutely incredible. The amount of paperwork, investigation, preparation, and attention to detail she put into my case was truly remarkable. She spent countless hours reviewing documents, gathering evidence, organizing information, and making sure no detail was overlooked. Her diligence, dedication, and thoroughness played such an important role in helping my case. Behind every filing, every exhibit, and every piece of evidence was Samantha's hard work, and I will always be grateful for the care and effort she put into fighting for me. What sets them apart is that they genuinely care. I never felt like just another case file. They celebrated my wins, helped me through my fears, and treated me with compassion and respect every step of the way. As I finally close this chapter, I do so with so much gratitude for everything they have done for me and my family. Thank you, Josie and Samantha, for your endless support, hard work, patience, and dedication. Because of you, I was able to find my voice, protect my children, and move forward into the next chapter of my life. If you are looking for attorneys who will fiercely advocate for you while also genuinely caring about you as a person, I wholeheartedly recommend Merel Family Law.

To anyone looking for legal representation: Josie is an absolute beast in her field. She is incredibly straightforward, never sugar-coats the truth, and does not beat around the bush. While she is dedicated to achieving exactly what her client wants, she is also excellent at keeping you focused on th...e bigger goal to ensure the best possible outcome. Communication with Josie is phenomenal; always respond in a timely manner. Honestly speaking, she really went out of her way to be there for me even during her personal time. I must mention her great communicating skill when dealing with a very difficult and angry co-parent. Comparing her to my first attorney is like night and day. She is highly experienced and has the ability to read the room, adjusting her strategy perfectly even when there is a change in judges. I highly recommend Josie Norton! It couldn't have gone better without her!

Josephine Norton took over my mom’s case—and I’m so glad she did! Our experience with her was nothing short of excellent. She consistently made time to answer our questions, listened attentively to our concerns, and offered thoughtful advice on the best approach to take. Her professionalism and dedi...cation truly stood out. Josephine did an amazing job, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer. Sincerely, Lillian and Julia
