Simply the BEST

Ms. Lisa McNorton represented me in a very contentious divorce proceeding. I truly believe I could not have made a better choice for my professional legal advocate. I tell everyone who will listen: “I love my attorney”. This lady is one smart and extremely capable Family Law Attorney. Lisa illustr...ated the utmost in professionalism and compassion. During the periods the opposition attorney acted belligerent and wholly unprofessional, Lisa never wavered from her practical professionalism. Lisa’s calm and logical approach to the management of my case gave me a solid advantage over my former wife’s revengeful antics and demands. Lisa kept me informed, centered, and grounded, while advocating for my rights in the most complete and strongest manner possible. She always responded to my questions, even in the evenings and on the weekends. During the entire process I never felt “alone”. I felt like Lisa was totally involved in my plight and was always right in the fray with me. At all times, Lisa made me feel like I was her most important client. I was most impressed with Lisa’s toughness at the time she deposed my former wife. From the very beginning, Lisa took control of the proceeding and psychologically disarmed my former wife. Because of Lisa’s impressive skills, the deposition provided us with all the information we had hoped to obtain. Following Lisa’s masterful deposition performance, our case was essentially won. I am certain the opposition left the deposition room wondering, “What happened in there…?” I have been practicing clinical anesthesiology for more than 31 years. In my field, we often hear stories describing the ethical deficits inherent to “all attorneys”. Lisa’s professional behavior and demeanor shatter such negative generalizations. If all attorneys upheld the same ethical standards under which Lisa skillfully practices her profession, there would be far fewer attorney stories and jokes out there to tell. This lady is a class act. Lisa got me through a very tough time. Let me say that again: Lisa got me through a very tough time. She supported me legally, psychologically, and emotionally. I shudder when I think how the outcome could have been different had I not had Lisa walking this path at my side. I cannot say enough good things about Lisa McNorton. And I could not be happier with my choice of attorneys.

Best lawyer in Tucson

I was referred to Lisa by a coworker who had been a previous client of Lisa's. Lisa is very professional, personable and compassionate. Lisa has represented me in several issues surrounding my divorce with a young child. She connected with me as her client, building a trust to provide me with support... and guidance. Lisa is very cost conscientious, and really works to keeps cost affordable for her clients. She always takes time to explain legal matters to me to help me make the best decision, and responds quickly to my emails or calls. Lisa goes above and beyond for her clients. I don't know how I could ever thank her enough, and I highly recommend her as a lawyer.
