ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS , BUT I GUESS MONEY TALKS LOUDEST WHEN YPU NEED HELP

I SENT MR NORWOOD A PLEA FOR DIRE HELP AFTER I NEARLY DIED IN THE HOSPITAL FROM METAL SHARDS LEFT IN MY BODY FROM SURGERY, I HAD ALL THE MEDICAL DATA NEEDED , ALL THAT WAS REQUIRED WAS A LAWYER WHO HAS THE SKILL AND COURAGE TO FIGHT CORRUPTION. NO REPLY NO SURPRISE

Highly recommended !

Joe Norwood was a blessing.After my car accident I knew I would need someone to fight for my rights.Dont take on the insurance company yourself they will not have your best interest inmind.He fought for my collision payoff, my medical bills ,and even scored for pain and suffering.If you are unfortun...ate enough to get in a car accident as I was call Joe and let him deal with the insurance company.I am Glad I did.

Great lawyer

Joe is a warrior, he does a great job for his clients, fights hard and doesnt back down. I know his clients are satisfied because I have recommended many to him with only compliments. I constantly have people come to me for a lawyer recommendation and he is always at the top of the list. Eric Cul...len Private Detective and owner/president of Cullen & Associates

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.
