Excellent

Honestly, I don't know what I could have done with out Norma and there is not enought words to say how awesome she isan. She is very knowledge and good at what she does. She helped me to find ways to get to the end of my parenting plan and did an outstanding for me and my son in court. I admire he...r because she always kept myself and my son in best interest. She works very hard and puts alot of thought into her work. I have referred Norma to friends and she has followed through for them as she has for me. Honestly, I would reccommend her to anyone.

Norma Tillotson

My experience with Norma was wonderful. I was so concerned about my daughters saftey when going through the custody battle for her. I could not afford a lawyer to represent me but I could afford to be counselled by one. She always told me what could happen and never expected the best, which for me wa...s great because it let me know where I stood in the situation. I represented myself with her help and got full custody of my daughter. I couldnt have asked for a happier ending! Thank You Norma :)

Top Notch Lawyer

Norma Tillotson was very professional and knowledgeable regarding family law. She was easy to talk to and returned my phone calls immediately. She truly cared about me and my legal situation. I will refer her legal expertise to anyone seeking a lawyer.

Norma Tillotson a Great Lawyer !!!

I would let any one who was looking for a excellent lawyer,good person, kind hearted and empathetic to your situations, to go to Norma !!!!! I was very scared going to a lawyer, you know all the stories that people tell you. Ruthlessness not personable of kind, this could not be further from the trut...h with Norma... She listened to me was very understanding and genuinely cared about me and my family. I went in scared and left after our first visit feeling comfortable and knowing I had a terrific woman on my side that would do what it took to get the job done and as I wanted it. Overall, this experience as a whole was not as terrible as it could have been and I would trust her with my life. If you are looking for a lawyer to be a hard ass , plays hard ball and belittles the other party then this is not the lawyer for you. But, if you are looking for a lawyer to stand beside you, really listen to your wished, and will be strong when you can't, then Norma is for you!!!! I loved the experience of dealing with her, as she helped me move on and I kept my dignity as a woman and a mom... thanks Norma you are the BEST !!!!!!

Professional and Courteous

I am a current third year law student, and I hired Norma to handle a change in custody agreement. What struck me most about Norma is her immediate availability to clients, something I value highly. Every time I had a question, Norma was available the same day. In addition, she is highly knowledge...able, and courteous. She also was very fair in her pricing, and came up with an arrangement for pricing that worked out well for me, based on the nature of the work I needed done. I would recommend Norma to anyone who has a need for a good family law attorney.
