Great Experience

I would recommend Mr. Newman to anyone that needs an attorney. He’s professional, well mannered. He’s not pushy and really is all about his clients needs. It’s hard to come by a lawyer such as Mr. Newman and I’ve saved his contract information should I never need an awesome attorney again.

Winner

I had a great experience with Mr. Newman. He represented myself and my case very professionally and was always upfront with all options including details. He was always available and followed up like he said he would. It is satisfying to know that being represented by the right team brings an inner p...eace during turbulent times. I highly recommend Mr. Newman's services.

Best lawyer in Chattanooga!

Mr.Newman handled my case very professionally and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. I was told by many lawyer that my case would be hard and that they didn’t know if they could pull it off. Mr.Newman was very confident with my case when I met for a consultation and he got the outcome that I ...wanted.

Handled my situation like I was his only client

Zac took my call and met with me within 24 hours knowing I had a limited budget. He was willing to go the extra mile to make sure I handled landlord tenant issues flawlessly. Although he didn't make a killing off of me, he made himself available for advice and lead me to a favorable outcome. I would ...use him again in a heartbeat. He can and will handle a wide range of cases while making you feel that you are his top priority.

Completely satisfied !

I was very lucky to have Mr. Newman recommended to me. He not only gave my case plenty of attention, he got me the best possible outcome! Zac is very sharp, easy to communicate with, and most importantly he wants to help and never made my case feel less than a top priority! Friends I recommended ...to Zac were equally impressed. He is very friendly and flexible to your situation.
