Cathleen Norton is unlike any other family lawyer I spoke to during this difficult process, and now I honestly consider her a part of my family. She is the only example I’ve found of what a family lawyer should truly represent—integrity, compassion, and a first-rate knowledge of the law, the court sy...

If you're looking for an attorney who is not only a fierce advocate but also a compassionate listener, look no further. Cathleen Norton is the kind of lawyer who combines strength with empathy — a rare and powerful combination. From the very first meeting, she made me feel heard, understood, and supp...

Cathleen saved me from not only my ex that was pulling every low move in the divorce book but from myself as well. After finding out my Ex was cheating on me using sex services for 20 of the 26 years we were together I broke into a million pieces and had a hard time caring about the legal aspect of d...

Going through a Domestic Abuse case was one of the most painful chapters of my life, and I truly don’t know how I would have made it through without the help of Cathleen. From the first time we spoke, I felt safe. I was scared, confused, and emotionally overwhelmed, but Cathleen made sure I never fel...

Cathleen was instrumental in my obtaining 50/50 custody of my daughter. The insights she gave me for what to expect from the mediators and judges I faced were vitally important to my case. I highly recommend her and her staff for any family law needs.
"Cathleen and I went to the UCLA School of Law together and I have always been thoroughly impressed with her intelligence and strong work ethic."
"Ms. Norton is a highly motivated and talented attorney. Her knowledge of the law, creative ability to apply it and passion for legal advocacy make her an excellent choice for someone seeking zealous legal representation."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is highly respected in the family law community and is very knowledgeable. A great choice for anyone looking for representation in connection with family law issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. Cathleen has not only distinguished herself among her peers for her skills as a family law practitioner, but she is also a sweet and kind person who takes care to reach out to others, to help promote others, in caring ways. That is a character trait that is not always exhibited by lawyers, and her large heart is no doubt reflected in her high AVVO rating and the endorsements and reviews she has garnered. She has the kind of career that not many lawyers - even ones with ten figure verdicts - can hope to have. I will look for opportunities to promote her as she has promoted me!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Norton is a wonderful lawyer and legal strategist. She is able to quickly and concisely map out case issues. She is also incredibly well versed in the court system and will provide clients top quality legal advice."
"I endorse this lawyer. Based on her answers to avvo clients' questions that I have read and agreed, it is clear that she is a highly experienced and confident family law attorney. She advises based on competent in-depth analysis and her extensive knowledge in the complicated family laws. Great attorney."
