Above and. Beyond

I was in a car accident last November and I foolishly hired Dan Newlin's office thinking they would get my case handled quickly. Boy was I wrong. I should have hired Travis from the start. Newlin's office were terrible about staying in contact with me. They offered no help with my property damage eit...her. I finally made the decision to have Travis take over my case. It was an uphill battle for him as Newlin's office would not cooperate. Travis basically had to start my case over from scratch. And he knocked it out of the park. He took the time to help me navigate the headache of dealing with the property damage even though he was not obligated to. He stayed in constant contact with me and reached a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Travis is a great man. With him in your corner, you have nothing to worry about. He'll take good care of you.

Amazing lawyer even better person!

Travis and his team provided me with with such professional service at a time in my life and my family's life that we could have been taken advantage of... Travis guided us through our legal troubles as if he were my family. Went above and beyond to protect me and advise me of everything that was g...oing on every step of the way. A man of honor and integrity . Very blessed to have found Travis.

DO NOT HIRE HIM! READ FIRST.... Beware

I HAD TO FIRE TRAVIS!! BEWARE!! So I was waiting for this review but 3 years pass I'm free and will remain free man because I'm innocent and I fired him. I must WARN YOU ALL. PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU HIRE THIS GUY. IT'S TRUE REVIEW FROM REAL CUSTOMER WITH OUTSTANDING FEE PAID FOR TRAVIS. HE HAV...E A ONE MAN OFFICE, DIDN'T HAVE HIS OWN SECRETARY TO REMIND HIM THINGS TO DO SO HE FORGET. GIRL AT THE FRONT SERVES ALL 5 LAWYERS. HE FORGETS IMPORTANT STUFF THAT MAY COST YOUR FREEDOM,YOUR LIFE! I'LL SAY ALL THE FACTS After BEGINNING MY STORY. SO I WAS IN JAIL ACCUSED BY COPS OF HORRIBLE CRIME THAT WAS SELF DEFENSE. TRAVIS ASKED 10000$ AND NO LESS TO START WORKING. HE EXTRACTED ALMOST 25000$ FROM US. ALL SAVINGS+FAMILY HELP. NOW LISTEN WHAT HE DID OR DIDN'T DO AND DECIDE IF YOU WANT TRAVIS IN YOUR CORNER IN THE MOST DANGEROUS MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE. HE'S AN ATTORNEY ONLY INTERESTED IN BIG $$$ WITHOUT CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR LIFE OR JUSTICE. SINCE WE HIRED HIM WE RECEIVE 0 EMAILS OR ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM LAWYER AS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU PAY SO MUCH MONEY. HE SAID HE SENT EMAILS TO ME WHICH IS MY BIG QUESTION - WHO DID HE SEND THEM TO IF HE ACTUALLY DID. AND HE WASN'T ABLE TO PROVE IT. HE LIED TO US ABOUT PRICES FOR AN EXPERT FOR COURT OR INTERPRETER. THINK GUYS HE WAS ALSO RUINING WITNESS DEPOSITIONS BY DOING THEM IN UNPROFESSIONAL WAY. WE LEARNED THIS ALL LATER AFTER REVIEWING CASE WITH A RESPECTABLE LAWYER. SO READ THIS PEOPLE AND ASK YOUR SELF IF YOU WANT TO BE A VICTIM OF YOUR OWN LAWYER... MY MOM WAS ALSO DYING OVER SEA SO HE ASKED FOR MY VISIT PREMISSION. WHICH I WAS GRANTED. TRAVIS DIDN'T OBTAIN A PROPER DOCUMENT FOR ME TO TRAVEL AFTER WE INSISTED. HE SAID I'M FINE TO FLY. ON MY WAY BACK I WAS ARESTED IN NYC, LOCKED UP FOR HOURS AND MISSED MY FLIGHT HOME. TRAVIS THEN OFFERED ME PLEA DEAL FROM PROCECUTOR WHERE I WOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR ALMOST A YEAR. HE SUGGESTED FOR ME TO TAKE IT. I WOULD BE A FELON FOR LIFE, AND PROBABLY DEPORTED AFTER DOING TIME. IMAGINE THAT HE ALSO PROBABLY WENT ON VACATION WITH MY MONEY AND DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO COURT BECAUSE HE SPENT THAT MONEY. YOU THINK IT'S CRAZY NOUP... REAL LIFE FOR ME. I BELIEVE THAT MONEY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE USED IN COURT WENT TO PAY HIS FAMILY VACATION. HE ARRANGED EVERYTHING AND WAS CONVINCING ME TO TAKE THAT HORRIBLE DEAL. PEOPLE HE HAS NO MORALS OR LOYALTY TO CONTRACT OR ANY PRINCIPLES IN THAT MANNER. HE WAS UNABLE TO RECOVER IMPORTANT EVIDENCE WHICH WAS VIDEO SURVEILLANCE FROM THE CRIME SCENE, MY WIFE REMINDED HIM AGGRESSIVELY BUT HE NEVER DID ANYWAY. IMAGINE THAT!?! THE ALMOST MESSED UP MY LIFE IN AN UNIMAGINABLE WAY WHEN I PAID HIM TO DEFEND ME, TO USE HIS KNOWLEDGE FOR GOOD DEEDS THAT WERE WELL PAID UP FRONT. SO NOW DO YOU FOLLOW HOW HARD HE TRIED TO PUT ME AWAY INSTEAD OF DOING HIS JOB. THE JOB HE CLIMBED TO BE AT THE TOP. IF YOU STILL THINKING TO HIRE HIM DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND ASK HIM PRICES AND CALL SOMEONE ELSE. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW EXPENSIVE HE IS AFTER LEARNING OTHER LAWYER'S FEE. REMEMBER ONE MAN OFFICE WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP YOU ESPECIALLY IF ITS NOT HIS INTENTION AT ALL! HE IS DISTURBINGLY MONEY ORIENTED, AND CARELESS FOR YOU OR YOUR FAMILY BUT REMEMBER HIS GIRL'S SOCCER GAMES TO ATTEND OR COLLECT HIS MONTHLY FEE. EVERYTIME I HAD A MEETING WITH HIM THE FIRST THING HE WOULD TALK ABOUT WAS COLLECTING MORE MONEY IT'S THE TRUTH. DO NOT HIRE HIM OR YOU BE SORRY YOU DID!!!

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.
