Magical Powerful Experience Start 2 Finish
From the referral of a senior partner, information & instructions brior consultation it was apparent T&B puts clients needs first offering complete disclosure & patience at all levels. I had 14 so sorries and without a blink Nora made time for us. Our yellowbrick Road 2 Success began. From our 1st meeting to presenting airtight facts to a judge in 2 quick weeks, she never failed to respond or offer a listening ear. She had our hand and our backs and 100% from the "Nora Team". Nora was there to reassure and protect us against threats, warnings and arrest attempts. Her advise of other professionals required for our need are the same committed and #1 in their fields, fiduciary, investigators and legal advisors for our next steps and needs. Nora's "And Then Some' attitude and professionalism will NOT let anyone down as long as U are open, honest and willing to listen to her heart & direction even if it hurts. The SUCCESS is worth it.

Authentic Professionalism in Trust Matter
Our family retained Nora to handle a trust matter involving restrictions placed on a bequest to our daughter that we believed to be inappropriate and unacceptable, within a very challenging larger family circumstance. Nora quickly grasped the facts and context of the situation and devised a strategy to seek elimination of the restrictions and immediate payout of the bequest, all without making the larger circumstance even more difficult. The strategy included a litigation element had that become necessary but was so well thought out that the matter was successfully resolved without litigation. Nora is truly outstanding and is backed by a support team that also reflects her authentic professionalism. We are more than pleased to give our highest recommendation to Nora and her team.

Very intuitive and knowledgeable
I had a consultation with Nora Jones, who asked clear, concise questions about an elder law situation I am experiencing within my family. It was apparent that she clearly understood the situation and the dynamics of the parties involved by the options and advice she provided. She was intuitive enough to advise that taking the court route may not be the best route in my particular situation and then provided alternative routes. I found Nora to be very knowledgeable and empathetic.

Review for Nora L. Jones
My experience with attorney Nora Jones has been life changing. She is an amazingly incredible attorney whose compassion and perseverance are remarkable. From the very first meeting with Nora, I could see that she had the passion and drive for doing the right thing. She explained every step of the process in terms that I could understand. With Nora you can rest assured that you can trust her with every aspect of your case. She is dependable, has incredible follow-through, and the results that she provides are phenomenal. At all times I felt that she had my best interest in mind. She does not give up; she is a fighter. Nora was successful with my case, where the attorney that I had previously hired from another firm failed. I highly recommend Nora Jones to anyone who needs a Great attorney. She is simply the best attorney, bar none.

An Exceptional Lawyer & Highly Recommended
While enduring the loss of my mother and complicated turmoil from estranged family, Nora was the only person to bring me peace of mind during a very hard time in my life. Nora and I conversed multiple times over the course of a month, to which she was completely selfless with her time, empathetic to my situation and knowledgeable of all aspects surrounding my case. Her guidance was straightforward and compassionate, her responses were timely and delivered with patience and grace. Throughout her counsel, I felt supported and confident that she always had my best interest interest at heart. She is above reproach. I highly recommend her and her staff, and I am grateful for all that they have done.

Estate/Will Issues
Nora and her staff are the best. She successfully took my case to a positive conclusion. She was responsive to all my questions, thoroughly explained the legal process and prepared me for any anticipated action. This case was complicated in the fact that a sibling had said (via their attorney), I was not to receive any inheritance funds. Nora was able to successfully dispute this and bring to a settlement agreement (where I did receive inheritance funds). Both my husband and I were impressed by how professional Nora is and her acute understanding of all the legal issues. We would highly recommend her.

Recommendation and Appreciation Words
After interacting with several lawyers in a complicated divorce case, it was really a surprise and relief to have met Nora Jones. Among all the lawyers I had to deal with all along, she was the ONLY one that showed real interest in my case, and in me as a person and human being. She stood apart from the other lawyers by always trying to be assertive, efficient and professional. I would use or recommend her services at any time and I consider her an intellectual asset to her company.

Excellent service from Nora
When my family faced a complicated and contentious situation regarding my father's estate, we turned to Nora Jones for guidance. We could not have chosen a more professional, compassionate and knowledgeable attorney for our task. Nora immediately grasped the strengths and weaknesses of our case and clearly communicated the most effective strategy to pursue. She diligently researched in preparation for our appearances and represented us in a manner that impressed the court. It became obvious that the other side was overmatched when it came to legal representation. Besides being so astute professionally, Nora always exhibited a warmth and awareness of the emotional aspects of our case. We highly recommend Nora and her staff should you require help with legal issues in the area of litigation and trusts. Thank you.

Excellent, Professional, Personable
I retained Nora Jones for a guardianship and conservatorship case in relation to an elderly parent. Nora is both highly professional and personable, and guided me through a challenging situation with grace, wisdom, and patience. She's an exemplary lawyer who seamlessly navigated a difficult situation as straightforwardly as possible. Nora took the time to explain the nuances of various approaches and to demystify the court process, as I decided on a path forward. (We went to court twice, and sought an expert medical opinion in addition to various witnesses.) She asked pertinent questions and supported my decisions. I always felt that she had the interests of me and my family at heart, and provided excellent counsel. I felt supported and confident with her as my attorney. In short, I trust her.
