BEST LAWYER EVER

I hired Cathy at Norwood and Norwood and she did a great job! I had a DWI 2 and she kept me out of jail. I have used Norwood before and they always get me great results. She has always been very nice and let me make payments. Thank you for all you have done to help me.

Great Firm!

This was a great firm, this was my first time in any trouble whatsoever and they were able to sit me down and explain exactly what was going on. Due to their diligence with the case they were able to find a discrepancy and have the charges dropped. Everyone was very personable and was easy to talk to..., and worked with a busy schedule to make appointments. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone in the area.

The Best of the BEST

The stark reality was that our son had been charged with a felony. We were in a foreign and desperate situation with no previous legal experiences. After extensive research, we chose Norwood & Norwood. Their "team approach" offered expertise from every attorney in the firm. Mrs. Norwood's years o...f negotiations with prosecutors was evident when a plea deal was reached, with an outcome that exceeded our hopes. The Norwood Firm gave our son a future without a felony conviction. Our highest recommendation is given to this excellent group of attorneys.

"When you need an advocate on your side, Cathy is the one to get the job done. I am routinely impressed with how well her relationships with prosecutors serve the best interest of her clients. She doesn't stop until the deal is as good as it can possibly be, or the matter is tried to the end. When determination and grit is needed to defend your case, Cathy is the one to call."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have never met such a savvy negotiator as Cathy Norwood. If you have been charged with a crime in Northwest Arkansas, you'd be well-advised to call Norwood & Norwood. These folks are sharks. They aggressively fight for their clients rights. When most people think of the firm, they may think of Doug Norwood. What they don't realize is that Cathy Norwood is the firm's secret weapon. And to a client charged with a serious crime, she is their new best friend."
