Extremely thorough and dedicated unemployment lawyer, comes highly recommended

Therese was able to represent my interests in a difficult situation that left me feeling more confident about my case and our ultimate outcome. She asked detailed questions about the situation and made sure that I understood what the process would be for trial. Therese was patient and understanding... and gave me a good grasp on who we would be facing in trial and what to expect. She took her time to thoroughly examine my case so that I was prepared for cross examination by the judge and the opposing counsel. After the trial she checked back in with me to make sure that I understood the judgment and to ensure that I felt good about the outcome. Overall, I would highly recommend Therese Norton for her outstanding legal skills and also for her skills at setting clients at ease.

Review

Terese is very professional and very helpful. I met with her in person for one session and she was able to help settle my denial of unemployment within a week. She is skillful and has great strategies to approach your situation for a great outcome.

Therese was incredibly knowledgeable about employment law and my rights as a worker in this state. Her communication was always professional and thorough. I was under a lot of pressure from my previous employer to behave in a specific way to the point where I felt my civil rights were being violate...d. Therese was able to keep me focused and her review of the employer's language and recommendations on how I should protect myself, made it possible for me to get through an incredibly difficult situation. I recommend Therese for anyone suffering from harassment in the workplace. She gets the job done and always puts her client first.

Ms.

Ms. Therese Norton is great to work with. She made me feel comfortable from the first time we met over the phone. She asked very deliberate questions and thoroughly researched my case. I trusted her because she was compassionate and understanding of my situation. She was always responsive and I f...elt she was my true advocate. Needless to say, I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend the law office of Ms. Jill Pugh and Ms. Therese Norton.
