Overview
Provided by The Norton Law Firm
The Norton Law Firm is a litigation boutique in Oakland, California. Founding partners Fred Norton and Bree Hann started the firm with the belief that a smaller firm, focused on excellence, client communication, and problem-solving, would deliver the most effective results for clients. Combining decades of experience practicing at AmLaw 50 firms, managing in-house legal teams, and litigating on behalf of the government, the firm’s lawyers bring an efficient, trial-focused approach to every case.
Work & experience
Provided by The Norton Law Firm
Whatever you’re facing, we’ve been there. We’ve tried jury cases, bench trials and class actions. We’ve represented Fortune 500 companies — and sued Fortune 500 companies — and represented individual litigants as well. We’ve defended victories and reversed losses on appeal. We’ve responded to federal and state investigations, both public and undisclosed; we’ve also sued federal and state agencies to protect our clients from government overreach.
