Custody/Criminal Charges Hero

T.J. has represented me in Sevier County since my first time in Court as a Juvenile. I was scared to death, but he actually took the time to listen to me and gave his advice. We had a trial and it went exactly the way he said it would, we won, case dismissed! Fast forward a few years and I've u...sed him for my divorce/custody case and a dui charge. Bottom line: he's not afraid to stand up and protect you. when you ask him a question he gives you a legit answer, and hes the most down to earth professional ive been around. T.J. is the only lawyer i would hire, ever.

He doesn't do what he says he's going to do .

He lied continuously, didn't show up 6 different court dates . Mentioned that he had wrote me a letter while incarcerated never received it. Poor performance.

Ms. Anonymous, We at Norton Law Group, appreciate you taking the time to leave Mr. Norton a one -star review on an attorney marketing site since you're not in jail any longer. However, your description of "what happened" is eerily similar to other "anonymous" one-star reviews that have recently been posted online during Mr. Norton's own divorce and child custody case. I help T.J. with calendaring and I know that we have not had a criminal case with six court appearances, especially six that he missed. Please stop knowingly posting patently false information.

Alimony attorney hired

We hired Mr. Norton about a alimony case. Paid him upfront. Never received a court date. Its been a year now. It has not been a good experience. Doesn't follow through.

Best lawyer in TN!

I called TJ about 10 days ago and he’s already accomplished quite a bit and has eased my worries; I am not in TN! I live 1000 miles from his office in TN. I am in Palm beach county Florida! We are going to win this case! Call him today!

Wasted time

After hearing about my divorce case he looked at me and said you have a very strong case. After I paid retainer... the fighting stopped and he seems to just float through court. Very sad to receive this in a hard point in my life.

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
