Highly recommended!!

Unfortunately I've had quite a few lawyers in my life for different reasons and George was definitely very professional and always did whatever he said he was going to do, always told me what to expect and ALWAYS answered my calls or returned them very quickly.. I have some horror stories with a few... attorneys but I can honestly say that there isn't one bad thing that I could say about George.. hopefully I will never need him again but if so there's no doubt in my mind who I will be using!! Keep up the good work buddy

Thank you George

I was referred to George by a friend and I'm glad I was! I wasn't facing any great options but George guided me to the best possible solution for me and my family! I had talked to multiple attorneys and found his fee reasonable from the initial free consultation. His value to me got even better as he... was always available to me and my family especially during the most stressful times! Thanks George!

Newman is a life saver! The US atty was shaking!!!!

Newman is the best ever. He saved my life in federal court. Was facing years in prison -- he walked me out.

Think he responded to the wrong review

I won't stop stating my OPINION of this lawyer. Notice he responded to one review but thought it was me. Little attention to detail Neuman, I never fired you but wish I was smart as that person and found a more credible attorney. Since my review he has threatened with a defamation lawsuit. He, in my ...OPINION, is a joke and I can not recommend hiring him.

Replied last August 23, 2017

Please see my response to Ms. Hinson's 6/15/16 post. There is no question that I turned what clearly was a first degree murder case into a third degree case. I prepared extensively and carefully, as I always do. And I was not "dissheveled," as Ms. Hinson says. I always appear in court appropriately dressed and groomed. Indeed, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers last month awarded me its highest honor, the Heeney Award, given to that lawyer who best exemplifies service to both clients, and criminal defense lawyers.

Barrister George Newman Cares about your rights.

Barrister George Newman is an experienced Attorney in Philadelphia and licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Attorney Newman did everything to protect my rights when the Government considered violating them. Mr. Newman was very explanatory through every process. His proper discreditation o...f charges made: and thorough litigation made all my problems go away. That simple. The fact that some people in Philadelphia would insult Mr. Newman makes us all "consider the source." I have known Mr. Newman for many years and he certainly went out of his way to protect me, my rights and my career path. Hire Attorney Newman. Joe , DDS, MD

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.
