One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Ms. Norton was her commitment to personalized attention. She takes the time to listen attentively to her client's concerns, thoroughly assess the details of their case, and develops a strategic approach tailored to their specific needs. Her ability to empathize with her clients situation while maintaining a steadfast focus on achieving the best possible outcome is truly commendable.
Client Reviews
K. C. April 26, 2024
Confident, Persuasive & Effective I hired Ms. Norton in 2017, midway through a contentious custody battle. At that time, she accomplished more in a few months than the prior firm accomplished in 3 years. Her negotiation and reasoning skills were unmatched and led to a stipulated judgment that was child centered. The results were so favorable that we haven't stepped foot in the courthouse since 2018. Fast forward to 2024...I called upon Ms. Norton again when I was faced with an unimaginable RFO from the other parent, who was seeking to drastically change physical custody. Ms. Norton listened attentively to my concerns, provided honest feedback, and devised a plan and strategy I was comfortable with. At hearing, Ms. Norton was confident, articulate, persuasive, and beyond effective - and the RFO was denied in its entirety! She achieved these results because she was well prepared, knew the details of the case, and has an impeccable knack for brining relevant facts to light and before the court. There is no better attorney that Ms. Cathleen Norton. My family and I are forever grateful for her and her staff. Truly a Godsend.

Remarkable Attorney Cathleen exceeded our expectations and we are forever grateful for her care and service. She helped us through a very difficult, complex, and frustrating process. She is an expert in child custody modification and very efficient. She gave us helpful guidance that extended beyond the scope of just being a lawyer. Cathleen and her staff are remarkable and we would highly recommend them.
