Patrick Newton review
Very knowledgable, professional, and thorough. This was the third time I've had my estate planning revised and Mr Newton was, by far, the most user friendly. He is very patient in explaing his recommendations and follows up to be sure the details are correctly managed. Would highly recommend.
Patrick D. Newton's Lawyer Endorsements
"I sought out and hired Patrick to handle my parent's estate planning after my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Patrick handled the matter professionally and promptly giving my parents great comfort that their estate would be taken care of upon my father's death. I highly recommend him for all estate planning needs."
"A first class legal mind...and a pleasure to work with. Patrick brings a zeal to estate planning that sets him a part from other attorneys. Can't recommend him highly enough."
"I am impressed with Mr. Newton's thoughtful advice and answers to legal questions on Avvo. He has an in-depth understanding of the law and an ability to communicate legal concepts clearly and effectively. I endorse this lawyer!"
"Patrick is a certified expert in his chosen areas of law and he does excellent work for his clients. Patrick knows all of the intricacies and obscure details of tax, estate, and probate law, which makes him an extremely valuable resource for clients and colleagues. He is also very personable and pleasant to work with."
"I endorse this lawyer. Patrick is atop his field in Western North Carolina in the areas of estate planning, tax planning, business succession planning, and estate administration. His command of the complex areas of the law that these practice areas involve is peerless, enabling him to understand and bring creative solutions to his clients problems unlike any other attorney in this area. Choosing another attorney to solve these problems would be a mistake."
"I recommend Patrick for all estate planning matters, from basic wills to advanced estate planning. The level of care he shows his clients paired with his extensive knowledge of estate planning leads to wonderful results and long-term relationships."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
