This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

What a wonderful experience!

This is the second time I utilized Bill and his team. I will not go to any other lawyer. Moving is perhaps the most stressful situation a family can go through. Not only did they make this a simple process, they worked with all sides to have both my closings on the same day. That's unheard of...unles...s you work with Bill! True professionals. Smart. Passionate. Even let my kids use his wifi in his office. It's little things that make a difference and when you have people like Bill around, you know you are headed in the right direction. Save yourself the trouble and contact him.

Real Estate Short Sale

Bill and his office did an outstanding job handling my transaction over an 18 month period. He was in constant contact with me and the other parties involved. Would highly recommend Bill.

Professional, personable, honest negotiator.

Although it has been several years since we used Bill Newstad to close on our house in Staten Island, it was perhaps the best experience we have ever had with an attorney. Highly professional, knowledgeable, and always looking out for our best interests. In the near future we will be using his servic...es for a closing in NJ. Bill and his staff are totally responsive to the clients needs and explain the process in easy to understand language. We look forward to having him represent us again.

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.
