Gwynna Biggers Norman

I'm so grateful for Gwynna's expertise. I was clueless about the divorce process and heartbroken about my situation. I felt at ease and in good hands the moment I met her. Sheila made me feel very comfortable the first time I entered the office. Christie is an amazing assistant to Gwynna with a great... sense of humor. Gwynna was extremely patient in explaining the process and helping me navigate it all. Excellent communication, knowledgable, honest and compassionate. I'm so truly grateful she was in my corner. I would absolutely recommend her.

Gwynna is simply outstanding. She worked with me for my divorce settlement and parenting and continues to be an amazing advisor for lingering issues 3 years later (the issues are with my situation, not because she should have done something different). Gwynna is responsive, detailed, weighs risk, k...eeps me informed on status, and does extra research to help me think of strategies I never would have known about. In addition Gwynna gives me hard feedback in an approachable way when I need it most - she is empathetic but keeps me focused on the issues at hand and points out when I am letting my decisions be emotion based. Gwynna was tough in the negotiations and backed down as a tactic on certain points but stayed unflappable on others when she knew they meant the most to me. She focused on priorities and helped me see when to let things go, and overall was a joy to work with on the most unjoyous item in my life. I would (and have) referred to Gwynna to anyone who needs a strong attorney who is organized, detailed, and has a compassionate view.

Divorce is one of the hardest things to go through. Mrs. Norman made me feel at ease right away. During my initial consultation, Gwynna gave me realistic expectations on all of my options including difficulty, longevity and estimated costs of my case. Her communication was superior. If she couldn...'t respond to my inquiries right away her assistant Christie was always on the ball. We developed a great working relationship. Her "out of the box" ideas on how to compromise with a very difficult spouse were the catalyst to finalizing my divorce agreement. Although no one gets what they want in a divorce, I truly believe without Mrs. Norman my results would have been more costly and less satisfactory. I would highly recommend taking the time to meet Gwynna Biggers Norman and see for yourself!

I knew I was going to have a difficult case due to divorcing a "high conflict personality" so I did my homework and met a lot of attorneys. I felt comfortable with the senior attorney at Billbe Law, PLLC and it soon became apparent that my trust was well placed as things became uglier and stranger t...han I expected. My case was turning into a multi-year case and I started to work with Gwynna, who ultimately finished my work well over a year later. I want to remind readers of these family law reviews that one never knows what kind of judge you'll get, things aren't always "fair" and while your attorney will guide you and do their part, you also have to be a good client to get best results. Having said that, an attorney like Gwynna can help you get the best possible outcome. She does this by knowing the laws and the court/divorce system and how things are likely to play out. She'll also have to do something that is equally difficult: managing your expectations and emotions and psyche. She'll be aggressive when it's needed but knows when to yield and compromise in order to keep things moving. Gwynna kept me informed, explained pros and cons of different approaches and was easy to reach. I am happy with my outcome, which balanced my financial needs, needs of my children and my need to get things done and move on. I am an educated professional and I learned a lot about family law and its limitations, and as mentioned above my case was very complex. I would use Gwynna Biggers Norman again and I recommend her.

When my ex-wife first contacted a lawyer, I thought I would just cooperate, not use my own lawyer, and things would be fine. Fortunately, I checked the wife's attorney online, and the most common word used to describe her was "aggressive." I felt this was unnecessary, since I intended to be cooperati...ve. I have no animosity towards my ex-wife. I tried a referral service from my company's employee assistance program, but they were unhelpful. Well, not completely unhelpful, as one of them recommended Ms. Norman. That was probably the best thing that happened to me during this time. Ms. Norman sat down with me, and explained the way these things work in Washington. She was very clear about my chances for various outcomes, and what I could expect in terms of effort, timing, and results. There were times I was frustrated with what was being requested from the other side, and at times I felt like I was being demonized, although I now realize my ex-wife's attorney was doing what she thought was her job. Ms. Norman was patient with me as I worked through this, and compassionate, and understanding. Also, there were a few times I rambled on the phone, and she politely found a way to end the conversation. She was being mindful of the fact that she was on the clock, and she was being considerate of the cost to me. We eventually ended up in mediation, and came to an acceptable settlement. Ms. Norman helped me to not "give away the farm." As a therapist, she's probably too expensive to recommend, but as an attorney, she was worth every penny. I don't believe an attorney should necessarily be your friend, but after all the time we spent together, and the difficult time I had, I am proud to call Gwynna Norman my friend. I would definitely call on her again. God forbid I should have to.
