Glen Norton | Minnetonka Divorce Lawyer

We take the time to care about our clients. Family law cases are difficult because they relate to our most emotional issues of children and relationships. In times of high emotion, we give the client the help and advice he or she needs that acknowledges the upsetting facts without being blinded by them. We believe our faith directs us not to be judgmental about your situation.
We work in the Collaborative Process, in mediation or traditional family court litigation. Specifically, we help people who have divorce, child custody, domestic violence, spousal maintenance, child support, and other family law cases anywhere in Minnesota. We have appeared in 35 of the 87 counties in Minnesota. With over 30 years’ experience we focus upon cases in Hennepin County, Anoka County, Wright County, and Sherburne County.
Sometimes when people are going into a divorce or child custody case they feel they only need a little help, while others know they will need a lot of help. We offer a flat fee Preliminary Case Analysis for $275.00. In that meeting, which lasts 1.5 hours, we look at all the papers there are so far, and we look at all the apparent issues. We discuss family court procedure, strategy and what we can do to help you. Custody cases can be surprisingly complicated. The right result is very important for your children. We will tell you if we think you should attempt representing yourself, and if so, how to do that well. After the meeting, if you want to hire us for more than the analysis, you can sign the fee agreement, pay a retainer and we will be on your case.  If you decide to do it yourself, you can do that too. We also offer a Free Initial half hour Consultation. In this meeting we introduce ourselves, go over the big issues and the basics of the law relating to your case. We will exchange less information, but we will both come away from the meeting knowing if we could work together or not. We do not take every potential client. Sometimes we have too many complex matters to undertake another, sometimes we do not feel we are a fit as a team or financially. Sometimes we won’t take a case because we do not want the court to be apprehensive when our next client after that comes into court with us. We seek to represent diverse people and an equal number of men and women for similar reasons. Ultimately, if we can’t settle, we are selling your idea of a fair solution to a judicial officer. We do all we can not to have the decision maker have any reason to doubt our clients’ positions.
