He has had the honour of successfully representing thousands of victims in his career and continues to fight vigorously for individual rights.
He strives to do his very best and works tirelessly for each and every one of his clients and this is the mandate of his entire legal team.

Assif Law is hands down the best in Edmonton. Norm is so loyal and trust worthy, I could not ask for more. He assured me he will work in my best interest and he definitely came through. I can not express my gratitude towards him and his law firm enough. I also am so thankful to Brittney who communicated so clearly and efficiently with me in every way. They made the whole process run so smoothly and I did not have to worry about anything. I recommend Assif Law to anyone who is in need of the best lawyer. They made me feel like family and I appreciate all their hard work in making sure I received the settlement I deserved. Sincerely, Brendaread more

I would highly recommend Assiff Law firm to all my friends and family. Although it was a very long process, Norman's team never stopped working hard. Whenever there was something that my family nor I could understand, he made sure to explain it in simpler terms and always kept us updated with our case. He represented us with outstanding service and kept all matters professional! Thank you to Assiff Law firm team for everything you have done to help my family and I out!

Absolute five star performance by the team at Assif Law!Ari was able to get me a much larger settlement than I thought would get. Almost makes me look forward to having another accident. Great communication between everyone there and myself. I always knew where I stood and that gave me a great sense of confidence that justice would be done. Thank you so much Ari!
