The right guy for the job

To anyone contemplating retaining Michael Norris don't hesitate for a second. I'll take this time to say thank you Mike.. Thank you for the excellent and professional job that you did on my behalf over the 5 years that you fought tooth and nail for me in Los Angeles Superior Court in the Southwes...t Judicial District of Los Angeles against all odds. Thank you for keeping me out of state prison 3 times! Thank you for successfully arguing the dismissal of my felony probation even with the court acknowledging new more severe federal criminal charges . Thank you for your sometimes hard but always sage advice. Thank you for caring enough to put up with my behavior tainted by my mental health. Thank you for always looking me in the eye and telling me the truth Thank you for standing next to me in my darkest hours dressed in jail garb and giving me confidence. Thank you for more than I can list. Mike was always excellent with answering questions & giving me the best legal advise. He was always on time when I needed him in my time of need. I wish there was a way to applaud him more than to highly recommend his legal counsel but I'm afraid this 5 star Yelp review is all I can offer. It comes down to this.. Mike Norris is the best legal counsel for your criminal defense needs in Southern California and possibly the United States. He's not cheap but neither is proper representation. If your in a bind call the Law Office of Micheal Norris right now and rest assured you will be in good hands

He makes sure that he gets the latest education, and because of his continuing education of DUI, not just the latest law, but the way to determine if the blood was analyzed correctly, or the breath testing meets the proper method or the machine has really has been calibrated correctly is what makes him the lawyer you need for your case.

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Michael Norris and I first met when he started as an associate for attorney Laurance Belger back in 1978. Since that time, Michael has taken over as the leader of his firm. The number of true and great lawyers in the South Bay has always been small, and Michael has always been at the forefront of those lawyers. His courtroom skills are polished, and his people skills supreme. If you are in need of South Bay's best Constitutional Defense Lawyer, Michael Norris is your man."
