Mr. Norton has been admitted to practice in Massachusetts since 1985, and he was admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in that year as well.

Many of Mr. Norton’s clients are people who have been injured on the job or who have incurred an occupational disease and who are seeking benefits under their employer’s workers’ compensation coverage.
