Richard is your secret weapon in defending against FTC / AG inquiries

Richard is a superb FTC defense lawyer and comes highly-recommended. His knowledge of advertising laws and policies is in-depth, up-to-date and he knows how to ask the right questions to help best present a case. He also has a comprehensive knowledge of what the FTC does and does not focus upon. Most... importantly, he helped our industry leading online education business to obtain a favorable resolution and closure of an aggressive agency investigation within our modest budget and without a penalty or further action. He is incredibly honest about his time and worked directly with us through to successful completion. ‎His government investigation and regulatory defense insights are second to none. Thank you, Richard!

Highly Professional and Honest

We retained Richard for an FTC defense case. His expertise in FTC matters is unmatched and has proven to be very effective. Richard handled our confidential matter with great respect and was very easy to work with. His communication skills are superb and he doesn’t nickel and dime you for every email... sent back and forth. Mr. Newman is also very honest, refraining from pulling in other attorneys for things he could do himself, thus saving us money. He fought hard for us, usually 7 days a week until the case was resolved in a manner we were extremely happy with. We would highly recommend Richard for any FTC-related, Advertising or Internet-related case.

Top Notch Experience

Being in the dietary supplement niche, I knew I needed someone aggressive with vast knowledge of FTC advertising compliance and claim substantiation. Always better safe than sorry. Well, to say that I am blown away by Richard's comprehension and familiarity with this stuff is an understatement. R...ichard's attention to detail and available scientific literature was far beyond what I expected, yet he still kept it simplistic enough for me to grasp as a digital marketer. The thing I like most about him is he's always available -- day or night, and even weekends or holidays, via email or phone. Literally, any time I need him, he is there and responds instantly. We have consistent and regular meetings to go over the marketing project. The devotion he provides is just awesome. Never once have I feel like I was just a number. Richard advises on many different advertising compliance requirements, as well as various solution options. Richard is a highly experienced attorney who clearly fights for his clients. I feel 100% safe knowing he is guarding my website.

Great lawyer, great person - highly recommended

I'm very pleased with my decision to have obtained Richard Newman's services I was dealing with a civil lawsuit regarding an internet matter and I searched high and low for a quality internet lawyer. I found quite a few to look through; however, immediately after my first conversation with Rich...ard I really felt like we were speaking the same language. He understood the issue I was facing, the outcome I was hoping for and developed a strategy to get it all done. I don't think I've ever had to wait for more then 10-15 minutes to get a reply or call back from Richard, even for the smallest question. He really does make himself available at all times and not once was I left wondering or waiting. I feel that Richard was always very honest with me; never telling me just what I wanted to hear, but giving me realistic answers and advice based on the reality of the situation. Richard in an excellent litigator who can be effectively aggressive but also reserved depending what the situation calls for. All in all, I couldn't be happier with the work Richard has done for me and I would definitely recommend his services. After 3 months of working with Richard I honestly consider him not only my attorney, but a friend as well. Thanks for all your help!
