I provide case-specific analysis and expert testimony in police use of force cases, focused on identifying key decision points, evaluating officer actions under the constitutional reasonableness framework, and supporting clear, defensible opinions for litigation.

Retained nationwide by plaintiffs and defendants in civil matters.

I provide litigation support through clear, defensible opinions grounded in real world operational experience. Training and agency policy are addressed as contextual factors within that framework, not as independent legal standards.

"Dr. Norton is an exceptional use of force and police practices expert. His reports are clear, well organized, and thoroughly grounded in established law enforcement standards, making them highly effective in litigation. Just as important, he is responsive, easy to work with, and understands the needs of attorneys preparing complex cases. I wouldn't hesitate to retain him again." - Attorney Graham Scott
