      Animal shelter was refusing to return my dog and adopted him out. He was returned to shelter because he was having tremors so shelter called they were going to euthanize my dog because of tremors. I did get my dog back and his tremors are due to extreme stress so shelter caused the stress then wanted to kill my dog.. He was very helpful and informative even though the shelter did own the dog legally since 3 days had passed i did have options I could pursue that may help He is very kind to have responded and will keep him in mind if I'm in need of a lawyer in future I appreciate (more than he'll ever know) him taking his time to respond

      I spent a few days trying to get a legal question answered. I would leave a message with other law firms and was told the lawyer would call me back within a day or two but that never happened. I was referred to Jordan Newport and called the same day and spoke with him. He listened, asked questions and provided a written response to my question within an hour or so. I did not expect that and would have been happy with an answer the following week. He exceeded my expectations for sure and I am grateful. Thank you!

      I have had the pleasure and privilege of knowing Mr. Newport for years, even before he became a lawyer to the present time, where he is an outstanding attorney. He is professional, hardworking, a great communicator, and truly goes the extra mile. I know that if I or a family needed an attorney in the Knoxville area, I would be more than happy to have Mr. Newport represent me/them. He knows nothing less than excellence.

      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Mr. Newport on legal matters and substantial non-legal projects. Mr. Newport is an effective communicator. He has a great courtroom presence that is strengthened by his relatability and ability to simplify the complex subject matter. His ability to plainly and effectively argue complex issues in briefs in memos is supported by his expert legal research. I strongly recommend him.
