Reliable attorney

This attorney completed an expungement for me in a timely manner, and I felt the cost was very fair after getting quotes from a few other attorneys. He responded to all of my questions quickly and was always available if I needed to follow up with him. I would definitely retain him again, but hopeful...ly, I will not need him again.

Good laywer!Recommand!

I really appreciate Michael Norton a lot. He helped me out of a big trouble and not made me feel nervious in the whole process. He can understand his client's situation and I believe he tried his best to give me such a satisfied outcome with reasonable price.I am a international student so I have mor...e or less language barrier but Michael Norton could communicate with me very patiently. I recommand him to someone who is finding a good laywer.

Posted by L | April 25, 2011 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

I was lucky to meet Mr. Norton through AVVO. I would highly recomend him for his professional skills and personal integrity.

At first I wanted to join an army of clients streaming to Mr. Traffic who is well known for fighting for your traffic tickets. But after I met with Michael Norton I re-considered. I'm glad I did ! He was keeping me informed of his every step and He effortlessly won my case. I'll recommend Michael to... everyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
