Client Testimonials

What our clients say.

S.L. — Impaired Driving
“I can’t stress how much help you were to me. You were always on top of things and I always felt looked after. Thanks to you, my drinking and driving charge was dropped. My birthday is tomorrow and you surely made it a remarkable one.”
Charge Dropped
D.P. — Armed Robbery
“You took the time to explain the system to me and get me a great result. I was facing serious jail time and you got me on a work release program. I felt like I was talking to a friend who really cared. I would recommend Norm Stanford to anyone who needs a great criminal lawyer.”
Charges Dropped
S.R. — Criminal Charges
“When I first spoke to Norm I felt comfortable and trusted his knowledge. He was very honest and open and I felt he truly cared. He went the extra mile to fight for me. It is difficult to find someone so understanding about people’s problems. I am glad I chose Norm to give me a second chance.”
