Travis Newton is a great lawyer

Posted by anonymousMon Jan 19 2015

Travis Newton represented me on a serious traffic charge in 2012. I was impressed from the first meeting all the way through until the end. Mr. Newton's knowledge and confidence eased my fears throughout. I consulted with several attorneys before choosing Mr. Newton. If I had been convicted I would have lost my job. I would hire Mr. Newton again without hesitation.
