After serving almost eight years as an officer in the United States Marine Corps, Norman M. Vigil joined Greenberg Traurig upon completion of law school in 2020. Norman finished his service as a Captain in the Marine Corps having trained foreign militaries across Asia, completed a combat deployment to Afghanistan, and been hand selected to serve as an instructor at The Basic School, the Marine Corps’ premier leadership academy, training newly commissioned officers in leadership and the warfighting skills necessary to serve as rifle platoon commanders.
