<br />Norton is a criminal defense attorney practicing in Oakland, California.After graduating from Harvard University in 1967, he attended Stanford Law School where he served as President of the Stanford Law Review in 1969-1970. Since 1986, he has specialized in criminal defense of non-citizens, both before conviction and in obtaining post-conviction relief to clear criminal records for immigrants in order to avoid or minimize adverse immigration consequences. His career has been devoted almost entirely to criminal defense work, culminating in the successful appeal of a death penalty case before the California Supreme Court under Chief Justice Malcolm Lucas in 1988 in which all convictions were reversed and his client was set at liberty. Since that time, he has increasingly specialized in criminal representation of immigrants.
