Highly recommend!

Josie Norton is your go-to family attorney; very professional, direct and fast. I have an extremely difficult and disrespectful co-parent to deal with. My co-parent has also been disrespectful to Josie, but even under those situations, she handles it professionally. She gives 100% especially when it ...matters the most in the courtroom. Communication is very direct, straightforward and consistent. She responds in a timely matter, which is important when there is so much going on. She is tough, but also very experienced and knowledgeable with the law. If she can move your case along, she will; very considerate of her client's time and money. Highly recommend.

Thanks Josie!!!

My experience at Merel Law was beyond fantastic. I started the divorce proceedings with very little knowledge of what my rights and responsibilities would be. Josie not only guided me through the legal details, but offered wise counsel, and always had my best interests in mind. Who knew that divo...rce lawyers are also therapists? Highly recommend.

Mr David R. Chiero

Josephine was professional yet personal in the best way . She did a great job with communication and was always available to respond to any questions I had . She understands that her client is not a lawyer and never made me feel that I was asking dumb questions. She was always prepared and knew what ...to anticipate during my case . I would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs these services.Thank You , David Chiero

Josie has done an outstanding job on my divorce case, leading it to successful completion. She is a great professional who is easy to reach and prompt to respond, giving sound legal advice at every stage.

An attorney you can count on!

Josie is a fantastic attorney from start to finish! She understands the most efficient way to tackle a difficult case, and ultimately helped me seek justice for a non paying ex spouse. I’m keeping Josie on my payroll for all family/divorce matters.
