About the Firm

Meet Attorney John E. Norris

John E. Norris, Esq. built Norris Law, P.L.L.C. on a path that started far from a courtroom. He served in the United States Army for more than a decade, a commitment that began just two weeks after September 11, 2001. While serving, he earned his Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Bridgewater State University, and went on to work as a protein chemist for Biolegend and Pharmaron — all while attending evening classes at Massachusetts School of Law to earn his Juris Doctor.

That background shows up in how he practices: methodical, detail-driven, and unhurried with clients who are often navigating the most consequential paperwork of their lives. John is a husband of almost 20 years and a father of two children, Ben and Zoe.

Norris Law provides pro-bono legal services to local veterans charities, and offers a 10% discount on all services to veterans, active-duty military, police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel.
