Experienced with CA Divorce Laws

During a time when my anxiety was high, Chelsea responded to my text messages quickly and efficiently . Specifically, Chelsea has experience with divorce laws in CA. We scheduled several calls together. I appreciated the way Chelsea outlined my legal options and pointed out long term effects of ... each option. I recommend Chelsea 100%! She is highly skilled, efficient and experienced. ,

BEST and Most Compassionate Family Law Attorney!!!

Chelsea has helped me SO much. She came on to my case after my initial divorce proceedings, and was a very compassionate listener. She helped me legally in MANY ways. She was able to read the various judges whom oversaw our case and was helpful on how to tailor our approach in communication with each... judge. She was able to steer my case onto a victorious custody situation which really benefitted my kids. During an overwhelming and stressful situation, Chelsea made the process super easy to understand and maneuver.

Schedule and child support modification

I was suggested Chelsea by a friend that had used her expertise before, and I was not disappointed. Right from the start Chelsea was extremely helpful and we dove right into my case. She offered wonderful advice on issues I wanted to address, she was extremely punctual with all the documentation and ...emails to the opposing counsel, she knew exactly what to say, and was always very professional. Many of times she even took the extra step and went the extra mile to help calm me down (person to person not with her lawyer on) during this very stressful and emotionally difficult process. Chelsea ultimately handled business in a very timely manner and was successful in bringing my case to a close. I 100% have her number saved and will be recommending Chelsea to anyone that needs assistance. If you are looking for a lawyer that is personable, reliable, and will do everything she can to get you what you deserve, call Chelsea, you will be extremely happy with your choice.

My Beacon of light in the darkness.

Chelsea Norris guided me through one of the most stressful legal events in my life. She was professional, patient, graceful and helped me manage my case with so much peace of mind and confidence. I have learned too much in my interactions with Chelsea. She has helped me grow in confidence in trying t...o navigate the CA legal system. I am eternally grateful.

Knowledgeable Attorney

From the first consultation call, Chelsea was incredibly prepared and able to answer all my questions throughly. I felt comfortable hiring her immediately and was fully satisfied with the results. She was able to proactively spot and avoid potential barriers in the case while being thoughtful and s...ensitive of the concerns for all parties involved. I would highly recommend Chelsea and plan to consult with her regarding any legal matters I become engaged in moving forward.
