Highly recommend!

I hired Mr. Newman because I had been falsely accused of felony charges. Mr. Newman is highly intelligent, very well spoken and incredibly engaging. This man knows the law because even at the 11th hour when the prosecution tried adding in additional charges which the judge accepted, before trial beg...an with Mr. Newman’s knowledge and research, he was able to get those additional charges dropped. The jury deliberated for 15 minutes, and I was free. Highly Recommended.

John Newman is the best

John Newman is simply an incredible Lawyer. I was refered to Newman Law and John and his staff took care of my legal needs from day one going above and beyond. Our case was won and I am still impressed with John's knowledge of law. I would recommend John Newman highly and with great confidence.

Very understanding and highly knowledgeable

Mr. Newman helped turn a very scary and anxiety-ridden situation into an unfortunate event of the past. He took the time to get all of the information and to keep me updated every step of the way, even for questions I had after the process had concluded. At no point in the process was I alone, he was... always there representing not only my best interest but also my wishes. Nothing but positive experiences with him!
