Helping me to make a decision from a place of knowledge
I was presented with an agreement that needed to be reviewed and signed in a very short time. Nora was able to both reassure me that we could meet the deadline and then deliver on that. I was able to sign the agreement with the knowledge of exactly what each clause meant and make the appropriat...

"I was on the other side of a case in which Nora and her partner John represented the employer. Nora and I almost never agreed during the nearly 18-month long case. Throughout the case she was fiercely advocated for her client. In the end, we were able to resolve the matter. I know Nora played a big role in helping the parties come together."
"I endorse this lawyer. Nora is extremely dedicated, compassionate and has a conscientious approach towards her clients. She is detail oriented and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Nora Rousso."
"I decided that Nora and I should be partners after our first trial together, a wage and hour case. Her trial skills are phenomenal. I can say with 100% conviction that she is better at cross-examination than anyone I have ever seen. She engages a jury and earns their respect. Her writing is impeccable. She is fast on her feet. Most of all, she never quits until she gets what she wants for her client"
"I endorse this lawyer. Nora is insightful and engaging. I have worked with her in collaborative-mediation for family law matters. She is effective in helping the parties clearly identify their most important issues and develop pathways to resolving disputes."
