Best defense lawyer money can buy!!!

John is an outstanding lawyer when it comes to criminal defense!! I recently went through a horrendous divorce and an unusual one at that. It wasn’t cut and dry as my ex wife accused me of some serious allegations of felony acts to gain the upper hand in the divorce case. I was facing some very serio...us jail time over these false accusations and upon seeking out a lawyer I came across mr Newman. I had all the facts and presented them to John and with his help I was able to prevail and beat the serious charges!!! On facts mind you.. lawyers aren’t magical unicorns and they don’t always win. But with truth and facts they can win.. if I had to go through it again, I would gladly do so with John by my side.. I can’t thank him enough for all his help.. thank you again!!! Great job and very successful

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
