Divorce disolución

I hired norma Urena on may 2021, never responded to my divorce in court I had to do it my self, she stop representing myself on December. I pay her $5,000 honestly she didn’t do anything for me. Same to other 5 more people. She stop representing them. She just used the clients charger the money and l...eave the case’s. Her licensing should be removed.

Honest and Caring

I retained Norma for custody case and She was very professional and she was able to win my case. I highly recommend her due to her patience and caring nature but most of all her knowledge and commitment to the case. She was always accesible and willing to explain in detail until. I always felt con...fident when waking in to the courthouse because she would take the time to prep and let me know what to expect.

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.
