Look elsewhere.

I found that his paralegal knew more about the law than did Mr Newman. Every question concerning my case he would put her on speaker phone with him present and she answered all my questions while he remained silent. When he did speak, he was in error and his paralegal corrected him. I would not use o...r recommend him going forward. Rates were good, but then again, if he isn't very good, than was it really reasonable?

Attorney Newman is a graduate of Moravian College, received his Juris Doctorate from Syracuse Law School and obtained a Master's Degree in Taxation from Temple University, Our paralegals are extremely qualified and knowledgeable in their areas of law. Communication is extremely important to our law firm and our clients. Great effort is made to keep lines of communication open between attorney, staff and clients. Weekly staff meetings are the norm and daily discussions regarding clients and their needs are given priority first thing each morning.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
