Trustworthy and Professional!
Attorney Newsom was extremely helpful with my situation. He spoke with me directly about my situation, walked me through the process of filing a lawsuit and all that it would involve and cost, as well as other possible options to consider. He was clearly very knowledge about TN law and potential outcomes. I'm thankful I was referred to him and that we consulted.

Fraudulent Contract
Our business was fraudulently involved in a contract which seemed impossible to withdraw. We heard about Patrick from one of our patrons and after speaking with him, we felt hope. Not only is Patrick an extremely professional attorney, he is also very personable. He went above and beyond to represent us in a very complicated case and all throughout the way, we felt protected. We became more confident against a company much larger than us and with much more money than us. Patrick conducted several investigations and tracked down a fraudster who initially got us into this horrible contract. He was able to finalize this case with one hundred percent of our satisfaction. Do we recommend Newsom Law PLC? Absolutely! I can now proudly say I have a dear friend who also happens to be an excellent lawyer. Thank you so much, Patrick!

A Lawyer's Lawyer
Patrick is my go-to lawyer for litigation issues. When I refer him a client, I always let the person know that Patrick would be the lawyer I'd hire if I personally ever got into a legal dispute. He's tough, smart, professional, detail oriented and well respected. He knows the law and represents his clients to the fullest extent of his ability. I highly endorse Patrick and recommend him to anyone in search of a tough lawyer to represent them with their legal matter.

Patrick Newsom
Patrick was a pleasure to work with! He worked diligently to gather needed information for our case. His work ethic is superb and he brought us to a winning verdict.
Additionally, he prepped me and husband for what we should expect in court. This preparation allowed us to feel comfortable in telling our story to the judge.
We highly recommend him!

Great Communication
Hiring Patrick was a great decision for us. He was a proactive communicator, knows his area of practice very well and won our lawsuit for the amount we thought we could win at the outset. I would use Patrick again and I highly recommend him.

Patrick Newsom treated me like family
Bruno Newsom PLLC was absolutely key in assuring that I was made whole during my personal injury claim. You absolutely cannot navigate the healthcare, insurance and legal systems without an attorney who is well versed in all, and that's Patrick Newsom. When you are experiencing something as traumatic and personal as an injury that sidelines you from everything, to be able to trust someone with all of the paperwork and negotiation so you can focus on your recovery is key. I could not have recovered as quickly as I did without Patrick's support and I would absolutely recommend him and his firm to anyone. He picked up documents from my house when I couldn't drive, checked in often on my progress, and called the hospital and insurance companies so I didn't have to. He went above and beyond in every aspect.

Business Litigation
I was referred to Patrick Newsom by a trusted friend that is a retired lawyer. I had researched several lawyers to handle a case for me but when I shared that information with my friend, his recommendation to me was that I put my trust in Patrick Newsom with Bruno and Newsom & he was right. Patrick is the consummate professional and my experience with him was exceptional. Patrick was thorough, detailed and a tough negotiator. Working with Patrick was more like working with an old friend that really cared about me & my case. I hope I will never need an attorney again but if I do I will go to my new and trusted friend that just happens to be a lawyer, Patrick Newsom, and I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Like having an attorney in the family...
I have never met a more engaged advocate. Patrick (he wouldn't ever allow me to call him Mr. Newsom) ALWAYS answered when I called, emailed, or texted. But I didn't have to call much because he always kept me completely up to date by contacting me regularly. Patrick really cared about my case. I felt less like I had hired an attorney and more like I had an attorney in the family that was "helping me out". But maybe most importantly, in addition to his general great character and empathy... he was EFFECTIVE. His skill at his craft manifested itself as a very satisfactory cash settlement. Thank you Patrick for all that you have done for me and my family. I feel like I have not only found my "go to" attorney... but that I have made a new friend.

Patrick Newsom
Patrick was hired to handle an incident involving drugs and destruction of property. Due to his negotiation skills and knowledge he was able to work out an agreement with the courts that was agreeable to all He tells you the facts like they are and puts it in terms that you can understand. He works for his clients. He is a great man and attorney. I would not hesitate to hire him again.
