Stephen H Newman

Steve Newman is the best lawyer I've ever had contact with. the moment I was booked into jail several inmates told me that he had been their lawyer and had won their cases, so I decided to give him a try. it was the best decision I could have made. Steve visited me in jail several times just to visit... and check on me - without legal reason - just one example of how he went above and beyond the call of duty, even meeting with me several times in his office without an appointment or a bill. Now, even two years later, he still occasionally checks on my ongoing welfare. He fights. He cares. He WINS. My former experience with lawyers is of being treated almost like an annoyance; as if I'm merely a file they want off their desk so they can move on. My previous attorneys all took the paths of least resistance, not filing motions to exclude evidence, or doing any other possible preparation to help my odds. Then, without exception all of them tried to push me to accept the first deal the state offered before they had even done any work to see if I had any pre-trial issues, or if I might be innocent. Steve was the antithesis of that. He looked for and utilized every possible fact or law in my favor, and never tried to get me to take a deal that he knew I didn't want. Despite all that, he had a good relationship with the A.D.A's and was respected by the judges. In the end, he was able to exclude much of the state's evidence and get the case dismissed. I would never hire any other lawyer again.
