He joined the law firm of Rotenberg, Schwartzman & Richards and acquired considerable experience in commercial, civil and real estate litigation before becoming a founding partner in 1967.
Norman has considerable experience and expertise in preparing personal injury cases as well as many other types of civil litigation. If trial is ultimately necessary to conclude the matter, his expertise and preparation afford our clients the best possible result. He has developed a keen sense of business perspective, which is unique in the legal profession. This business sense allows him to analyze a matter, not just from a legal standpoint, but also, and maybe most importantly, from a business and financial viewpoint.
