Shawn Timothy Newman

Customer review: he is a good lawyer

Customer review: Domestic Violence. I never imagined I would be arrested for having an argument with my wife of 18 years, but it happened. Shawn is a friend of a friend, and agreed to help me and my family. Shawn recognized that I, we, and this single incident did not fit the profile of domestic violence. Even though this was not his specialty, he accurately predicted what would happen and why. Not only did he guide me through the process, he looked me in the eye, treated me with respect and compassion and told me to have faith. Shawn advised me not to accept the "deal" that would have left us "emotionally and financially bankrupt" and with a criminal record. In the end, thanks to Shawn's work and savvy, all charges were dismissed. The day I was arrested was one of the worst of my life, and the day all charges were dismissed, was one of the best. My family is back together, in love, respect and gratitude. Thanks Shawn.

Customer review: As far as lawyers go Shawn is the real deal! A pit bull who is not afraid to take on the big dogs. If the men in black ever come looking for me I've told my family to call Mr. Newman. He is a man with a great sense of humor, genuine helping of integrity and a real decent human being. I have the utmost respect for him as an attorney and a friend of the underdog!

Customer review: I found Mr. Newman to be an excellent attorney. He worked diligently on my case while keeping me informed about processes and procedures. Shawn acted swiftly and without hesitation to bring my action to a positive outcome. I highly recommend him!

Customer review: I was arrested for taping a school board meeting and needed a lawyer I called the AG's office and a person recommended Mr. Newman. I hired Mr. Newman and he filed suit right away. He kept me informed immediately of progress via e-mail and telephone. Without going to court we settled. I soon became friends with Mr. Newman and soon learned he was not only a great lawyer and a first class gentleman but the person you can trust with your life. He also repersented my son in a building permit disput with with theThurston County building dept. Settled in his favor with out going to court.

Customer review: Mr. Newman handled two lawsuits brought by a Gig Harbor, WA neighborhood association against the State of Washington where I was one of two people who represented that association's work with Mr. Newman. Mr. Newman successfully took our case on one of these lawsuits to the State Supreme Court where we won a decision against the State. Later, I was a board member of non-profit corporation that hired Mr. Newman to run another lawsuit against the State of Washington. In all cases, we were very pleased with his work and how he represented us. His interest in public issues and expertise in this legal area proved to be an asset to us and our cases. Everyone who worked with Mr. Newman felt he represented us in a competent, knowledgable and agressive manner. I would recommend Mr. Newman to anyone with issues involving areas of government.
Mr. Newman also represented me personally in several legal situations that did not lead to judicial action but he was most helpful in getting my issues resolved to my complete satisfaction.
