He is the best!!!!! I was facing 25 years .... The prosecutor hade 3 eye witnesses, the victims statement, a incriminating text message, a firearm with me and the victim’s DNA on it, and a blood trail that lead from the crime scene all the way to my apartment door. With him I received a not guilty verdict.... I COULD’NT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!! Sebastian Norton is the TRUTH!!!!!

I retained Mr. Norton during the pandemic to update my estate plan including my will, living trust and associated documents. I’m a disabled vet and Sebastian went the extra mile to coordinate with my out of state tort attorney who had previously represented me in asbestos litigation to ensure that future settlements were also included in my will. Sebastian dealt with all the possible eventualities in my estate many that hadn’t occurred to me. Sebastian was very flexible in consideration of my disability and completed my estate remotely including executing the documents on the sidewalk while I remained in my car on a cold February day. I highly and unreservedly recommend Sebastian Norton as your legal counsel especially if you are disabled.

We highly recommend Sebastian Norton. He was professional, knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and easy to talk to. My husband and I hired him to prepare our estate planning documents during the pandemic (Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Medical Directives). He walked us through all the details of creating these documents and answered our questions carefully and patiently. He ensured that we understood everything and were comfortable with the final outcome. He listened carefully to everything we were trying to accomplish and drafted documents that provided exactly what we wanted. The entire experience was superb – if we need a lawyer in the future, we will definitely go to Sebastian.

Mr. Norton was my attorney for a case in January. It was a civil matter, and although this is not his area of expertise, he took the case. I immediately felt at ease as he took care of paperwork as well as explained and reassured me about details of procedure with which I was unfamiliar. I would recommend Mr. Norton for his calm demeanor, his attention to detail, and his determination to see a case through to its completion.

I would like to take the time to thank Mr. Sebastian Marks Norton for helping me to have my case finalized and the outcome was to my favorite as well. Mr Norton negotiated with the Commonwealth's Attorney. He also had the knowledge an understanding about my case and my situation. He was also very polite and made me feel things are okay.
