He really went above and beyond for us in our time of need.. nobody wants to be in the position to need the services of an Attorney but having him was a blessing. He went to bat for us and got a case completely dismissed. He was honest, genuine, profession and answered all of our questions. On top of all that, he has the fairest prices of anyone around and I actually felt like I would have paid double elsewear for half the effort. I would recommend him to anyone and there's no one I would call before him in the future. Thank you Matt Norwood for guiding us through this process and getting the job

Attorney Matthew L. Norwood is a great Attorney. I had a situation & he got the case dismissed before it got bonded over for circuit court. He also told me I didn’t owe him the full amount since it was resolved so fast. I recommend anyone call him if you have a situation.

So pleased with Attorney Norwood service. He was able to have my OWI charges dropped without a felony or any jail time. He was very upfront and made me feel as though I was his top priority. I’ll always be forever grateful because he saved me from a lifetime of headache.

Made a bad decision and decided to drive after a few cocktails…. Was facing some major consequences and with the help of Matt, I was able to just pay some fines and be on my way. This dude is seriously the real deal. Don’t waste your $ on some name brand, overpriced lawyer. Get with Matt, follow his lead, and everything will work out better than you could ever imagine!! Thanks again Matt - You are amazing!!!!

Attorney Matthew Norwood and I go way back, almost 15 years or so, as he was the first attorney that took my case as a challenge and I felt he took it personal. Attorney Norwood over the years has always thought outside the box when it came to getting a felony off my record. I feel confident he will represent anyone to the best of his ability. With recent law changes in Michigan, Attorney Norwood was my first call and he remembered my case and the details after several years, and was finally able to relieve me of my felony after 22 years. Great work Attorney Norwood, I will forever be grateful

Attorney Norwood was very thorough and helpful throughout the process of retaining my drivers license. He was very informative as to what was the process entailed and provided updated along the way. If you are in need of someone to help you with any drivers licenses related issues, Attorney Norwood is the person to reach out to. He is highly recommended!

My mother-in-law had some legal trouble that she needed help with. Not knowing where to start, my husband did some online research and found Attorney Norwood. I knew from that very first call that Matt was different than other lawyers.... he actually got on the phone immediately after I talked to his secretary advising what I needed. Matt's knowledge, confidence and inviting personality confirmed that he was the right guy! Fast forward to court, my intuition proved true -- even better than i could have ever imagined. While I don't want to get into specifics about the case, our family

Attorney Norwood is the BEST! I have used him twice now, both with the intended favorable outcomes. He is very professional, responsive, efficient, and easy to get a hold of. He prepared me for court so there were no surprises. I appreciate his experience dealing with the State of Michigan hearing officers. Hope I don't need an attorney again, but if I did- I'd definitely call him!
