Josephine R. Norton

Where to start other than Mrs. Norton is hands down, one of the most exceptional and insightful attorneys I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I was impressed by the level of intelligence in family law, and her devotion to the clients like myself is nothing short of amazing. After doing some t...eaching years ago, one learns just how much they don’t know about a particular subject matter, but when I would ask all sorts of questions, or just explaining to me the various aspects of the case, it is clear she has a thorough and true understanding of the law, and one better, explain it in a way that people like me who are not attorneys can easily understand. One of her many great attributes, is the immaculate attention to details. Catching even the smallest of details, was nothing short of awesome. There were several times, Mrs. Norton would find little changes made by the other attorney that could make a big impact such as the words “shall” vs “must” I believe was one. Sometimes it was changing a few small and subtle words in one of the paragraphs that would make lasting changes in how or when I get to see my kids. She is prompt with deadlines all while showing compassion for the client in what is I’m sure undoubtably a very difficult time depending on the circumstances. For myself, I have never been through a divorce before, and with kids involved, was most definitely navigating through some difficult times. As timelines changed towards the end of the case, and as things became more dynamic and fast paced, she never skipped a beat, or missed a deadline no matter the circumstances, or how difficult I may have made things. She was there to help, give me sound advice every step of the way. Mrs. Norton’s ability to deal with opposing counsel, no matter if they are friendly or strenuous, is by far none, amazing. With my case, especially in the final days of the case, the opposing counsel started to be difficult to work with, and she is ready and prepared for those situations. I did not know what all was involved in a divorce, and I do thank my lucky stars that I found Mrs. Norton. She guided me all the way through the process, gives sound advice, and unequivocally forever grateful for the outcomes as a result.

When I initially contacted the law firm about my child’s custody case, I was assigned someone who clearly wasn’t listening to my needs or concerns and seemed to only run up fees. A few months in, Josie took over my case and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She made herself as available as poss...ible, and was so attentive to everything going on in my case that I sometimes forgot she had other cases going on. Josie answered my many questions with such clear knowledge and experience, that it was easy to take her advice on issues that came up through out the case. She was so personable it didn’t even feel like I had hired a lawyer. She didn’t try to run up fees. That being said, don’t let it fool you. She was such a tough lawyer fighting on my behalf with a no nonsense attitude that ultimately yielded the best possible results. While her rates are a little high, you get what you pay for. So, if you want the best, you have to consider “Best” rates. Even after my case was settled, she is still helping to navigate through the unfamiliarity of it. As stated in the title, she really is the person you want in your corner. I’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
