In Memory of Tom Norton, Founder.
After working for several TPA firms in the valley, Tom knew he could provide customers with better service and quality at a better value, so he started his own firm. Tom founded Norton Retirement Services, Inc. in 1999. After over 25 years, Norton James Retirement Services still has one of the most competitive pricing structures in Arizona.
