Attorney Norris is a well respected an distinguished criminal defense attorney practing law in California since 1979. He has helped me on multiple occasions in and out of custody and I can say without hesitation that his work has saved me from state prison on multiple occasions.

He is our blessing!

My brother is in a hospice prison and he was given limited time to live from very advance terminal cancer. After several attempts of compassionate release being denied and being 8hours always from family it was very hard to see my brother as he is dying. Thanks to Mr. Norris’s experience and knowle...dge in his field of law, My brothers release got approved and finally going to have his last wish to be with his family, thanks to God and Mr. Norris! He is not only a lawyer but also a blessing! Thank you!! I would always recommend extraordinary work and dedication. He made things happen in a rapid phase, thank you for going to the beyond for us Mr. Norris!

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."
