Lawrence A. Newman

I had an incident last year resulting in DWI and attempted assault charges. I contacted Larry Newman the day after the incident and he got back to me the same day. Though my case was complicated by some previous alcohol abuse issues, Larry told me exactly what I needed to do (counseling, etc.) and... I followed his advice throughout. Though it was a long process, his immense knowledge of DWI cases was instrumental in a favorable conditional discharge sentencing when I could have easily been facing probation. I would strongly recommend him to anyone facing a DWI charge.

Larry Newman did an excellent job helping my son out of a potentially life changing DWI and traffic accident charge. He kept my son informed throughout the process. He knows the laws and how to work the legal process. The best possible outcome was achieved. No permanent record and charges were reduc...ed. His fee is reasonable as the level of care and support provided was exceptional. No calls, messages or emails went without a response for any period of time. He got to know my son and did his best to present him in a positive light to the DA, Judge and others reviewing his case. Lowest possible fines were assessed and suspension was also minimal. I would highly recommend Lawrence Newman for any legal matters within the Ithaca area. He is ethical, honest to a fault and compassionate. You will not be unhappy with him as your legal council.

I could not have gone through my court process with as much success and as little anxiety had it not been for Larry's expertise, initiative, sensitivity, and timely communication. He knows the court system very well, and was always available to answer any questions I had. This is the lawyer you wan...t if you have a pending DUI case.

Larry knew the ins and outs of dealing with a DWI, if you had a question on any topic related to an alcohol or drug related offense, he knew the answer. Me being an individual licensed out of state, he never hesitated once. As over-whelming as a DWI can be, Larry reassured that everything in the end ...will work out and there was nothing too serious to worry about. He is 110% prepared for any case dealing with this kind of offense and keeps you 10 steps ahead the entire time. I have no problem recommending him to anyone who is faced with a DWI/DWAI/ADWI. Reasonable rates, especially for the preparation that he will make sure you have before closing any case. Even after the fact, he will not abandon/leave you in the dust, any question he can most likely answer and sticks with you every step of the way and then some.

I recently traveled to Elmira NY to pastor a funeral for a dear friend. The first night of my stay I had trouble drivivg in the snow, Being from down south can make you oblivious to these conditions,Needless to say an accident occurred, resulting in me sliding into another automobile. A simple traffi...c accident, or so it seemed. The police showed up on site and found an unpaid speeding ticket from 4yrs ago, in a small town in NY that I had discarde or misplaced over time. Unbenounced to me , that act led to my driving privilages in the state of NY to be suspended. Now this offense is a misdemeanor, a charge that holds a level of severity that couldve resulted in fines and if not properly resolved, actual jail time. In my research for legal advice , i came across Larry Newman. His attention, guidance, and intensive wisdom could not be overlooked.Basically, this was a man without his own agenda, a man who 's focus and intent was only to help me get out of this mess that ultimately I caused for myself. To make a long story short, Mr Newman went to court for me, as I had returned down south Within minutes after the court appearance Mr Newman contacted me with the outcome. The result , was my charge being reduced from a misdemeanor, to the lowest possible traffic violation , with the lowest possible fine. A seemless resolution to what was a very severe situation. Mr. Newman became my friend , before he became my lawyer. By inviting me into his office , and sitting down and getting to the fact of the matter. In one court appearance, Mr Newman rectified the situation, and resolved my issue, with the utmost concern to what was important to me. I am writing this recommendation straight from my heart. I have been treated like a man who got into a downslide of legal reprocussions, and needed help, to restore my life and my freedoms. That is why I whole heartedly recommand this man Larry Newman to be your attorney and your confidant in any legal implications you may find yourself in. It is without any coersion, force, or threat, that i write this letter. As Ive said before ,it is straight from my heart.. Mr. Newman your advice, not only in the legal field , but also, the reciprosity in which you conduct yourself, makes you ,both, fare, and just. This experience, that could have left me in a horrible situation, was handeled very professionally, and with the utmost care for me.. Larry Newman , I can't thank you enough for your help and sincere attention to this matter . I am a free man and back to business as usual. Simply put, because of YOU.Thank you , and may God bless you and your practice, continually.
