He made it right

When I got my back hurt at work my bossman fired me right away and he didn't want to help me at all. Mr. Newton took care of everything and got me fixed up and got the case settled. I got a new job and better than before.

Regardless of how large or small a client's claim is, Jeff gives his complete attention to each one. He lives up to his reputation of being one of the most professional, zealous and compassionate attorneys practicing today.

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.
