DC

I don't think Norman is a good attorney. He did not do work the work to handle our case. I also tried contacting him and his office many times and was not able to reach them , and was never called back while he had been paid in full. My case was not work or resolved, but he kept the full amount of... $$$ he charged to handle my case. Do not pay his full fee charges up front. He did not do his work that he charged me for and did not go to bat for our family.

It’s always difficult to respond to an “anonymous” review, as I cannot recall a DC in the last few years, and this review looks similar to the one left in December claiming the same result. Either way, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience with me. It is important for an attorney to be client-centered and work tirelessly on behalf of their clients. It is also possible that there may have been unforeseen circumstances or challenges that arose during the representation. If you would like to discuss your experience further or have any specific concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly to discuss them.

I don't think Norm is a good attorney. Self and not client centered. He worked for us in the past and do didn't go to bat for our family.

It’s always difficult to respond to an “anonymous” review, as I cannot recall a JJ in the last six years. However, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience with me.

Great Attorney

I hired Mr. Douglas to file Chapter 7. He was very organized, thorough and professional. He and his office staff always answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Highly recommend for ease of filing.

Staff not the friendliest

Depending on the staff I talked to I got different answers to my questions. Also it was only about their time. They would request paperwork the day that I was supposed to go in for my appointment call and say oh you have to bring something else too and I would tell them I’m coming from work and can’t... go home to get that and be on time. And then I would say why didn’t you email and asked me days prior and they told me they were busy. I also waited several months for them to get the initial paperwork going after I had paid him in full. When I did call they acted like I was bothering them. Also had the dates mixed up on my house foreclosure So I ended up moving out of my house 2 to 3 months early and incurring all those charges

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
