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. View More

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.

Super lawyer with super powers! My case had been dragging on for a long time and I was frustrated and hopeless. So much so, that I finally did a Google search for “Best Family Law attorney in Los Angeles” and found that Cathleen’s firm consistently was near the top of the list. During the first meeting with Cathleen, I felt that someone had my back at last. I can’t tell you the relief I felt! She maximizes your investment with the best and most appropriate use of the expert resources on her team. She was able to accomplish more in the first 24 hours than my previous attorney was in over a year. Not only that, but Cathleen and her team did a miracle for me in terms of the outcome of the case. Not once, but multiple times! The last time was probably the most impressed I was in terms of her connection with her clients in a personal level. Once she became aware of an event I had just gone through that she had some experience with, she called me and we chatted for quite some time. The majority of the conversation was her encouraging me and coaching me on how to live life to the fullest. What attorney does that? Cathleen does!! View More

Great lawyer hired Cathleen to represent me in a wrongful TRO and horrible divorce I was going through. She was very empathetic, listened to me, fought for me, and believed me. She got the TRO thrown out and the divorce finalized in no time. She was very kind and understanding during the whole process.
