Divorce is never easy. Especially mine. Ha-ha. For more than a decade, my life was dominated, or…read morecontrolled as I felt, by my ex-wife and her attorney. I represented myself for years, for dozens of hearings. Where did that get me? I was a ball of hate, anger, and rage. I could barely afford to live because of the amount of money I was court-ordered to pay to my ex-wife. When you have no control over your life, anger is the only thing that you can control, and boy, was I angry! I constantly lashed out in inappropriate and self-destructive ways. I felt that I was in the deepest and darkest of places, with no way out and no end in sight. Out of desperation, I decided that I needed to get an attorney. I reached out to a friend who is very renowned and highly respected in family law in Tucson. She declined to represent me as she felt it would be a conflict of interest because she also knew my ex. She recommended Lisa. I felt that I could not afford representation at that time. In retrospect, I could not have afforded not to be represented by Lisa McNorton. Lisa levelled the playing field. Did she treat me like the victim that I felt I was? Not at all. Lisa directed me to take the steps that I needed to take to gain control of my life. Lisa made me take all the classes that I had been court-ordered to take. Out of mercy, I believe, the judge previously had given me an extremely liberal time frame. How could I take them when I needed to work sixty-plus hours a week just to survive? I also felt that if I took them, that would be another win for my ex-wife. Well, they changed my life. Lisa ended up getting many thousands of dollars in judgements that were suspect at best, overturned. The money she saved me far exceeded what I paid to have proper representation. I have come out on the other side, after many years. I am a different person. I have been promoted multiple times at work, and I have returned to school to finally finish the bachelor's degree that I started over thirty years ago. If not for Lisa, I would still be paying my ex today, and for many years to come. I am extremely thankful for Lisa McNorton and for the positive effect she has had on my life. I cannot give Lisa anything less than my very highest recommendation!

She got all of the police recordings of every time that they came on my property. I was being victimized by squatters and unfortunately the deputies aside with the squatters every time. My case has been dropped by the prosecutor and she is not taking responsibility for that. It shows you just how humble she is. But I believe that he saw that she was my attorney, took one look at the information that he had and realized that it was one of those that should be dropped. No one else will work harder for you than Amanda will.

As soon as court was over today, I knew I had to write this review because Danette deserves it…read more Today was the last day of my divorce trial after almost 3 years. It was one of the hardest, most exhausting, and nastiest experiences of my life. My husband didn't want me to have anything, and some of what was said throughout this case was unbelievable. Through it all, Danette never backed down. She fought for me every step of the way, made sure my voice was heard, and went above and beyond in ways I never expected. From the beginning, I felt like my case mattered to her. I never felt like I was just another client. Danette has the biggest heart. She's kind, caring, easy to talk to, and a true people person. Sometimes it didn't even feel like I was talking to an attorney because she made me feel so comfortable. What impressed me most was how smart she is and her incredible memory. My case lasted nearly three years, and she remembered details that I had completely forgotten. More than once I found myself wondering, "How does she remember that?" Sometimes I felt like she was part attorney and part detective because she caught things and connected details that others missed. She always knew my case inside and out. Danette was always surprising me. She went above and beyond in ways I never expected. She reached out to people who could help strengthen my case, and she never stopped looking for ways to help me. Her kindness, compassion, and belief in me meant more than she'll ever know. I don't need to share all the details, but I will never forget them. There honestly aren't enough words to express how grateful I am for her. Outside the courtroom, Danette is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. But when she walks into the courtroom, watch out. She becomes a completely different person in the best possible way. She is sharp, confident, fearless, and knows exactly what she's doing. Watching her represent me was amazing. She fought for me with everything she had and made sure my side of the story was heard. I don't know the judge's decision yet, but I do know that Danette gave my case everything she had. I saw it, I felt it, and that's why I wanted to write this review as soon as court was over. I would recommend Danette over and over again. Not that I want anyone to go through a divorce, but if you do, she's exactly the person you want standing beside you. Thank you, Danette. I'll never forget everything you've done for me. B

She frequently came to court unprepared and requested numerous continuances causing the divorce to run nearly five years. What was most disconcerting is that she lied three times to the Judge while the evidence countering her claims were part of the exhibits. She has a knack for changing course which led to more new pleas, continuances and then later she would remove said requests. Her peers describe her tactics as "throwing everything against the wall, right or wrong, then seeing what sticks". Her services will cost a lot of money with very little results.

Saved my son and my sanity…read more I found Joy using an internet search from Japan in 2004. My wife at the time was a mess and not getting any better. Her abuse of herself ultimately left our son in the worst kind of situation possible for a 5 year old (use your imagination). Joy provided me some guidance and I retained her for custody and divorce services. When I arrived in Tucson we met soon to go over documentation I had collected and to file paperwork to keep my son in AZ and to have monitored visitation. A man obtaining custody is never easy. Joy walked me through it all, sat next to me in court, and kept me strong through the process. Fast forward to 2019. The last time I saw my ex-wife she was on a lockup show on TV. My son is 22, and a Navy nuke guy on a sub. He is doing well because I was able to parent him separate of a person who cannot take care of herself. Joy and her team made this possible. As an active duty Marine with minimal income, this is by far the best money I have ever spent. Joy's experience and relationships in the Pima County legal community enabled her to represent me and my son exceptionally.

0/10. Absolutely do not hire this law firm!!…read more We hired Uri to handle our adoption, and instead of personally handling the case we paid him for, he passed it off to another attorney who, to our understanding, had never handled an adoption before. From that point on, communication was basically nonexistent. We had to constantly chase them for updates, answers, and basic information about our own case. Now, more than a year after the adoption was finalized, our child's birth certificate still has not been changed. We were told the attorneys should have submitted the required paperwork to the state, but apparently that was never properly handled. So not only was the communication terrible, the job we paid them to complete still appears to be unfinished. We are also dealing with a serious insurance-related issue tied directly to the adoption. Finding another attorney has been nearly impossible because this firm handled the original case and has the full history and documentation. When we reached out for help, we were told they are "not accepting clients." Excuse me? We are not new clients. We are previous clients asking them to fix issues connected to work they completed only a year ago. They had no problem accepting our money, handing our case off, barely communicating, and leaving important paperwork unresolved. But now that we need them to stand behind their work, suddenly they are unavailable. Their attitude has basically been: we got paid, the case is closed, and your problems are no longer our concern. Save your money, save your time, and save yourself the headache. Hire a law firm that actually communicates, completes the work it was paid to do, and does not abandon clients the second a problem comes up.
