Cathleen Elisabeth Norton

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...stem, and the strategies that actually work. From our very first conversation, Cathleen and her excellent team were thorough, strategic, and incredibly caring. She doesn’t pressure or steamroll her clients the way big firms do while charging $1000 an hour. Instead, she listens, gives honest guidance, and fights for what truly matters: children and their families. Cathleen reversed years of damage from poor lawyering and overly harsh judgments, and because of her dedication I was finally reunited with my beloved son after two long years apart. The joy she brought into my life is beyond words, and I am forever grateful. If you’re considering a large firm, think again. Having someone like Cathleen—an absolute top gun—on your side makes all the difference. I can’t thank her enough for her skill, her heart, and the light she has brought into my life. She’s not just my lawyer—she’s a forever friend.

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...orted. She doesn’t just fight for her clients — she cares deeply about them and the families involved. Ms. Norton had a clear understanding of how to handle my narcissistic ex-husband effectively and strategically. What impressed me most was her ability to navigate complex emotional situations with clarity and grace. She always kept the best interests of my family at the forefront while protecting my rights and guiding me through the legal process with confidence and integrity. She’s strategic, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. You never feel like just another case on her desk — you feel like a priority. Her emotional intelligence sets her apart. She understands that legal matters, especially family law, aren’t just about paperwork and court dates — they’re about people, lives, and futures. She never lost sight of that. I can't recommend Ms. Norton highly enough. She is a true professional, a relentless advocate, and a trusted guide during one of the most challenging times of my life.

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...ivorce. We originally were with a mediator, thank God I took my father's advice in getting my own lawyers. Cathleen was able to point out all the shady things I was about to allow through mediation not knowing the divorce process. She's very strategic in all her moves and has great office support which allows her to operate at her best. She saw all of my ex's manipulation and underhanded obstacles and was able to help me through all of it as I was trying to get on my feet. Thank you for being an incredible, smart & caring lawyer Cathleen. I would not have been ok today if it weren't for you.

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...t alone. Cathleen and her paralegal team listened to me with empathy, explained my options with clarity, and always treated me with respect and dignity. Throughout the case, they guided me through each step with incredible patience and care. They were always responsive, honest, and clear, even when I was full of fear and questions. Cathleen’s legal knowledge and calm presence gave me strength when I needed it the most. Because of their hard work and dedication, I was able to get a permanent restraining order granted and ensure my safety and peace of mind. I truly believe they changed the course of my life. I will always be deeply grateful for the way Cathleen stood by me, not just as a legal representative, but as someone who genuinely cared. A 5-star rating isn't enough to measure the dedication, compassion, and excellence Cathleen brought to my case. She went above and beyond, and I’ll always be grateful. I highly recommend Cathleen E. Norton and her paralegal team (Victoria) to anyone in need of not just a great attorney but also someone that you can trust to be the advocate you deserve.
