Our Practice Areas

At the law office of Attorney Andrew H. P. Norton, we provide legal help in the following matters:

Criminal Defense

Our criminal defense practice includes representation in both misdemeanor and felony cases involving both adults and juveniles.

Examples of cases we handle include:

OWI/DUI. These are serious matters in which you may face jail time, large fines, probation, the loss of your license, and more. Penalties will depend on the facts of your arrest, including whether it is a first or repeat offense.
Domestic violence. Acts of alleged violence committed against intimate partners, family members, and others in a domestic situation can have severe consequences, including not only criminal penalties but protective orders that can restrict where you live and order you to stay away and avoid any contact with the protected person.
Assault and battery. These crimes are considered to be violent and thus can be punished with jail or prison terms and other penalties, depending on the nature of the offense and other factors.

These are just a few of the charges we handle. If you are facing some other criminal accusation, we can help you in the criminal process by developing an effective plan to challenge the prosecution.

Family Law

Family law cases are commonly among the most stressful and emotionally charged because of their very personal nature. These issues can have a dramatic impact on the future relating to your children, your marital estate, and your financial situation moving forward.

Our firm handles all types of family law matters, including but not limited to:

Divorce. This includes both uncontested and contested cases and the issues surrounding them, such as child support, child custody, complex property division, and alimony.
Restraining orders. These orders may be sought or contested by individuals facing divorce or family violence.
Guardianships. We can represent you in proceedings in which you are seeking or contesting the guardianship of an incapacitated adult or a minor.
Paternity. You may need to establish paternity as an unmarried parent to seek child support or child custody rights. We can guide you through this and the following child-related legal matters.

Estate Matters

Estate matters involve the transfer or distribution of your property and assets to your family and beneficiaries. Estate planning has many benefits beyond this, including allowing you to name trusted persons to handle financial affairs when you are unable to, authorizing someone to make medical decisions when you cannot, and more.

Our firm can help you draft and executive valid wills, create various kinds of trusts, and handle other estate planning issues. We also provide representation in probate matters, whether you are an executor, personal representative, family member, or another third party.
