I spoke with Craig Newburger for a consultation. He was direct and forthright on answering my questions. He admitted he was not the attorney for me however, informed me an Avenue to search for an attorney more suitable for my case. He was financially friendly.
Craig was very knowledgeable with the laws that had to do with my daughters case. He spoke with her for about 4 hours on a holiday weekend and spoke with me for about the same. When the time came he represented my daughter so well that she has a chance to start her life fresh. Thanks Craig!
I fight for my you as I protect my own family! I work to serve clients to set an example for our children to follow.
April 2014, our triplet daughters were born. Words cannot describe how fulfilling they are. On April 1, 2015, their 96 year-old grandfather, John Newburger, flew in to meet his one year-old granddaughters. January 1, 2020, John spent his 100th birthday with his triplet granddaughters and taught them to play billiards.
Prior to entering law school, I coached college students for competitive public speaking tournaments. One of those students, Armond Dunn, was disabled in a car crash. Armond was left with physical disabilities and his speech was impaired. When Armond Dunn qualified for the national collegiate public speaking championships, the Associated Press covered this “Miracle Kid” and his story became the subject of a national radio broadcast by Paul Harvey. The experience of coaching Armond Dunn, and all of the student public speaking competitors, ultimately motivated me to enter law school to strive to apply my communication background to the practice of law.
Point is, I will take your case seriously and fight for your best outcome.

Wonderful Gentleman/Attorney
His years of experience alone says it all but another very interesting thing that stood out to me, with me being an African American is that he has also written a bibliography over African Americans having the ultimate granting of promised voting rights etc. Do your

Craig spoke with me on the phone for over 30 minutes, he gave me great advice, refused to take any money at this time, until my nephews indictment came back from the grand jury, to see what his charges would be. Other lawyers had quoted me up to 30,000 retainer, with out knowing what my nephew would be charged with. Craig is honest, compassionate, and truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend him.

Free Consultation
The best free consultation I've ever received! Didn't think I'd get as much information about my case when I decided to contact Mr.Newburger, but I was really surprised with the amount of help he provided. 10/10!

Superb Defense
We had a tough case, one previously litigated with an outcome we did not agree with. Craig stepped in with a new defense and aggressively defended us. He is professional and cares for his clients. He spent the time necessary to prepare the best defense for our position and made no mistakes, as anything wrong can undo everything done prior. Highly recommend!

He spoke with me on the phone about 20 mins, gave me the best advice I could get. He even said if I had more questions, I could call him again, so I did. Thanks for giving me a peace of mind with proceeding with this divorce.

The Best!!
Craig Newburger is the best attorney around. His professionalism and attention to detail are outstanding. He always made himself available to take calls from me and worked long hours to make sure my case was handled properly. His willingness to work for a flat rate fee made it possible for me to hire what in my opinion is the best attorney around. I do not believe my case would have ended any better had I used anyone else.... Simply the best!

He's My Hero
If you are going through any Domestic troubles and would like to get some help - Craig Newburger is the Real Deal. For most of us who are not lawyers, the legal system is not what you think it is, and it has its own set of rules. It is a foreign country and we dont speak the language. Don't go by yourself. All of us have lot of emotion - fear, anxiety mostly - when it comes to how the law affects our personal lives, finance, children, homes. In the worst case, a domestic legal problem can destroy a life. I am a veteran of such a war, and I want to share in this review things I wish I had known. THE most important steps you can take: 1) stay calm 2) don't wait; retain an expert like Mr Newburger as soon as possible. How things are done at the start of a divorce usually maps how it will end. I have dealt with a lot of lawyers, and I can tell you that Craig stands out - he has compassion combined with expertise and toughness. Unlike many lawyers in this area, he puts his heart into his work, and he will tell you the truth. I found him to be very well versed in domestic law - believe it or not even some other lawyers with big reputations do not keep up on the actual guidelines they should follow. IF you are wondering who to talk to, give this lawyer a call and have a consultation. You will be glad that you did.

An Attorney who fought for me
Craig has handled my quite complicated divorce case in Ohio with an utmost professionalism and dedication. He navigated through sometimes unchartered territory and was able to present complex matters before the Court in a concise manner that produced results. He fought for my interests and was motivated by serving the justice, and not by the money. He actually put in more hours of work pro bono than he actually charged me for. He always kept his word. He always went an extra mile for me. I could not have chosen a better attorney.

Integrity and Professionalism
Craig’s expertise, knowledge and attention to detail were crucial to the outcome of my complicated divorce case. The case required multi-state and even international communications and coordination of effort. Craig always went an extra ten miles instead of just one. Holidays, weekends, evenings – he communicated with me across several time zones. I have not yet met an attorney with such dedication to the client, such personal and professional ethic and integrity. My case was not typical, and often went into unchartered territories. Craig was able to quickly grasp new concepts and apply new ideas to action.
Divorce is a stressful process, and Craig helped me navigate through it by always doing more than I expected, by always upholding his end of the deal, by always being available to me, by being proactive, honest, extremely attentive to detail and professional.
Working with Craig was an intellectual pleasure (to the degree that a divorce case could be), and he also delivered results.
I would recommend Craig to anyone who needs a smart, reliable and tough attorney who would fight for you.

Comes through in a pinch
I had fired my previous divorce attorney and was desperately seeking an attorney that wasn't afraid to work for his fee and knew how to communicate with his client.
Craig accepted the challenge with enthusiasm. I only wish I had found him at the beginning of my divorce. He didn't perform miracles or pull rabbits out of hats, but he sure gave me peace that everything that could be done was done. His communication skills are spot on. He has a great sense of humor and compassion for his client.
He is fair but not cheap and GREAT is never cheap anyway.

Effective and quick settlement
Craig Newburger was awesome to work with and I am well satisfied with the results in a matter in which he represented my interest.

Excellent!
Attorney Newburger did an outstanding job from beginning to end. He was attentive, knowledgeable and available to address any and all concerns regarding my case. He believed in me and represented me well. I was found not guilty.

Completely trustworthy!
Craig has been absolutely incredible. My daughter is facing felony charges. She has a mental illness. Upon her arrest in January, she was given $42,500 in bail with $25,000 being straight (meaning no 10%). I told my daughter she would either be bailed out or given an attorney...we chose Craig. Craig got my daughter out on an OR/EMU, got her car back from impoundment and has been absolutely informative with us. He has done an amazing job and continues to do so. He stays in contact with us. When you need an attorney and want to know that an attorney has YOUR best interest, call Craig. I have NEVER felt this assured with ANYONE. I used to work for attorneys. Craig is my LAST stop!!!

Knowledge, skill, and compassion
I came to Craig Newburger during the middle of divorce proceedings begun with another attorney. I feared starting over and prolonging an already over-extended process. Craig’s initial meeting with me was direct, informative, and very focused. He extended trust to me as a partner in my case, but guided me through some tricky waters. After transferring my case to Craig, we had a speedy, positive resolution. I found him to be an excellent, responsive communicator. Craig is knowledgeable, able to make connections, and above all, puts you, his client, first. I have recommended Craig Newburger to several of my friends and will return to him for my future legal needs.

Outstanding!
Craig gets it done! At the time of this posting Craig will take on certain cases using a flat fee model. This was a refreshing change for me because it allows for a more personal relationship between client and lawyer. No more watching the clock!
He has a cocky no nonsense attitude and he is willing to fight for you. It's obvious that he takes pride in his work and in his legal record. -Meaning, he wants to win.
