Defense counsel Graham Norris, born and raised in Fort Worth, went on to earn a law degree from Texas A&M-Fort Worth after undergraduate studies at Dallas Baptist.
He has been on both sides of the courtroom, initially serving as a prosecutor in the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office.
Since moving into private practice, Norris has a reputation as a skilled trial attorney in helping ensure truth and justice prevail.
“There are a lot of moments that have filled me with gratitude for what I get to do,” Norris says. “Moments like … the exhilaration of hearing a jury read a favorable verdict after a hard-fought trial. These moments remind me that the work I'm doing has an impact on real people.”
Norris was appointed by Mayor Betsy Price to serve on the city’s Ethics Review Commission. He also sits on the board of directors for the nonprofit LVTRise.
