also known as Law Office of David Newton,Esq.
Let my experience as both a defense attorney and prosecutor give you peace of mind.
After I graduated cum laude from Boston University School of Law, I took a position at a national firm in Boston, Goodwin Proctor, LLP. My role there was as a complex commercial litigator and it gave me the opportunity to build a defense for several of our nation's largest companies.
My career then took me to New York City where I worked as an Assistant District Attorney (ADA). After prosecuting thousands of cases, I moved back to the area where my career began. I accepted an ADA position with the District Attorney’s office in Boston, was subsequently promoted to a Supervisor ADA, and later served as a NH State Police prosecutor.
I have since opened The Newton Law Firm where I provide 5-star service to clients just like you.

As a 4th time offender there was not much this man could do for me in regards to begging leniency. Ironically I met David several months before on a bogus charge which he ultimately got dismissed....

Great Attorney- Definitely Recommended
I connected with Dave through a referral for my RO case. Although the time frame was very little, Dave went above and beyond to understand my case and empathize.
