Attorney

Chelsea was extremely helpful in pre-divorce consulting and during my entire divorce process. She regularly made herself available and provided practical and legally sound advice while also understanding the delicate/ emotional side of divorce. Thank you so much, Chelsea!

150 on a scale of 10

This was a first time experience with me being on this side of the law, THE RESPONDENT, because in my profession, I am usually the playing the role of the good guy and the defense is my dreaded opponent. That being said, there are very few attorneys who I feel that I can trust. I tried to endeavor ...this insurmountable task (divorce) on my own, both to save costs and to deny to myself I needed help. The Pasadena Courthouse Help Center was my best friend and also the place I hated seeing. I got to the point where I lost my footing, sucked up my pride and looked for help. I made my own attempts at consulting with a few Family Law attorneys, but most left me with negative feelings. I was referred to Chelsea by a friend/coworker. I was hesitant at first, but I made a call nonetheless. Just within our first conversation, I felt like I made a friend. Despite the quiver I felt when the conversation lead into her attorney fees, I fought against my internal struggle and convinced myself that she was definitely worth the cost. All in all, she was fair, efficient, thorough with her instruction, complete and detailed with her work, convincing in her argument, and most of all, UNDERSTANDING. My divorce endured during this current pandemic and I never really met with Chelsea in person, so most of our work together was via email and phone. When all was said and done and the settlement was written, I chose to meet with her in person to enjoy a casual conversation over lunch, to show her pictures of my family, and to let her know how much I appreciated her assistance. My family is doing well now, and I certainly feel that I owe a lot of credit to Chelsea Norris for that.

Great Experience

Chelsea helped me with my divorce process. She made the whole process easy, and smooth. She is very reachable, and easy to work with.

Fantastic family law attorney

Chelsea is such a great attorney, I would highly recommend her for any family law matter. She is patient, kind, and very capable. As an attorney myself who knows how ugly litigation can get, I trust her completely and have referred her to several friends. Divorce is never easy but Chelsea helps mak...e it more bearable.

Family Law

I really appreciated the patience and expertise Chelsea Marlene Norris provided, during my tumultuous times. In my uncertainty, Mrs. Norris became the light at the end of the tunnel. It really meant a lot to me, even though I know Mrs. Norris was just doing her job exceptionally well. But, for me ...during that vulnerable time in my life. To have someone patiently listen and advise with expertise was paramount. It really helped me get through those tough times and allowed me to be able to move forward in my life. During the proceedings I was bombarded with information. Mrs. Norris took the time to explain the pros and cons of each decision regarding my case. We're still in the early stages and have a long way to go, but I'm in a much better place now. I would highly recommend Chelsea Marlene Norris.
