About Norwood

I have been practicing law since my third year in law school.  It was then when I secured my first dismissal in a criminal case.  The client's face coupled with the feeling of satisfaction that I receiveed sparked a fire inside of me that gets stronger with every positive result.  I am Results driven and realistic with client's cases.  My goal is to provide you with top notch service. If you are not happy with my service then neither am I.  Let me fight for you and show you a lawyer that you can actually like. #CUINCRT

      Attorney Richardson is an amazing attorney and advocate for his clients. Moreover, he's very knowledgeable about the law, and is skilled in the courtroom. I had the pleasure of interning with Attorney Richardson during law school, and am proud to call him a mentor. Attorney Richardson develops a great rapport with all of his clients and works very hard on their behalf. Attorney Richardson is always my first recommendation to prospective clients seeking an attorney in the Houston area.
