5 stars does not portrait Mr. Newman as he more than deserves many more than 5 stars. I have had the ultimate honor in the past to utilize Mr. Newman’s personal and knowledgeable services. Mr. Newman once again is representing me in a matrimonial matter. Mr. Newman is quite a respected and caring attorney. Mr. Newman takes a personal approach while making his client such as myself feel most comfortable and confident. Mr.Newman being quite versed in matrimonial law is an understatement, as well as other areas of law. He personally returns each and every call in a quick and precise manner. Mr. Newman has worked diligently in order to satisfy every step within my case and let me also communicate that Mr. Newman is an outstanding trial attorney within matrimonial law. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a matrimonial attorney that they contact Mr. Newman and reach out to him for his services. You will not be disappointed… I certainly have not!!!
Because I am in a position where I cant get out to talk to an attorney since I am caring for a wife on hospice with brain cancer, I turned towards an attorney here online and asked my question. I receive a message back from Scott which was helpful and if I was living in his area, I would reccommend him to anyone
I am a lawyer who personally handles every aspect of each client's matter. While there are larger firms, there is no one who will work harder to get you the best possible result.

One of THE best decisions my family has EVER made!!
Almost two years ago, I began researching attorneys for my husband as I knew we would be trying to make a huge family decision for him to become primary custodian for our three beautiful step children. I had posted questions on avvo in the past in an attempt to gain insight on our situation and some sort of direction with how to approach such a HUGE request of the courts. In one of my last posts, Scott (he's huge on developing a level of comfort with his clients/families) responded in such a thorough and inviting way, that I had to make contact with him. He was extremely accommodating, as my husband and I live states away, and allowed us to have a FREE 30 minute consultation via phone conference. He appeared to be genuinely concerned, was very thorough and detailed in his responses to our inquiries and the entire time was very realistic about what we would be looking forward to. My husband and I, almost immediately following our consultation decided that he would be our attorney. During this entire time, he has been nothing less than amazing. He has been compassionate, understanding, HARD WORKING, diligent, thorough and always remains available for communication. If you are searching for a lawyer that will fight for his clients best interests and the best interests of the family, you need to search no further. Inviting Scott to join us on this extremely emotional ordeal, was the absolute best decision and we have AVVO to thank for that connection. I would recommend his services, 100 times over. Could we have chosen another attorney? Yes! Would it have been in our best interest? No! Thanks Scott, our family is appreciative of the passion you share in not only being an Attorney but a true Counselor!

Divorce
Scott is a true professional who cares. Scott handled my divorce case and provided excellent advice and guidance on in all areas of my divorce. With his knowledge and experience I was prepared for court decisions on a few different motions that were involved with my case. Scott is detail oriented and follows up with both client and court. I have two children and Scott always kept their best interest in mind. I always felt like I was in good hands and would highly recommend Scott. Thank you Scott.

Scott Newman an excellent lawyer
Scott represented my son and did an outstanding job. When the hearing official felt there was no change warrented Scott took it to the judge. After he presented all of information and the argument the judge agreed and adjusted the payment accordingly. I highly recommend Scott.
