Norris Legal Group, led by the former prosecutor-turned-award-winning defense attorney, will be based in downtown Fort Worth, and has leased space in the Wells Fargo Tower.
Graham Norris most recently represented Michael Miller in a highly publicized murder trial in Taylor County. The jury found Mr. Miller Not Guilty. “We were incredibly relieved that the jury saw the truth and did the right thing. Michael got his life back,” Norris explained.
Norris Legal Group will focus on criminal defense, including those accused of federal and state felonies and misdemeanors. “If you’ve been accused of a crime, we can help,” Norris said.
