Attorney Jazmin Newton

If I had to start the process all over and choose an attorney, I would still choose Attorney Newton. Attorney Newton, although busy, answers questions quickly and gives clear direction/advice. She sends bills monthly with a breakdown of what you are paying for. She listens, makes sure that all of you...r affairs are in order, gives advice speaking to the best interest of the children, and explains the divorce process in detail so you understand. I felt confident throughout the process being represented by her and I feel confident moving forward knowing I have her if questions or concerns would arise.

excellent attorney

Mrs. Jazmin Newton is an excellent attorney. She knows her stuff and will explain it in layman terms to help us understand the legal wording. My previous attorney didn’t explain much and just told me to read it and sign it. He didn’t even want me to come in for an office visit when I asked to come... in. I’m so glad I changed and hired Jazmin instead . Jazmin is always willing to sit down and explain and give the pros and cons and help me understand the best outcome of the situation and to go that direction. I could not have switched to a better attorney for family law/ divorce.

The quick review is 10/10 amazing!

The quick review is 10/10 amazing! While my court case was drawn out by opposing counsel resigning, covid, multiple hearings and 9 days of trial one thing was for certain Mrs. Newton was by my side fighting until the end. I ultimately was granted sole decision making for medical, education, and ex...tra curricular activities and as a father it is very unusual to be granted all that! Mrs. Newton was beyond organized and knew everything about my case to represent me well no matter what was thrown our way. Mrs. Newton is not only on top of her game but on top of the knowledge of law as well. After the order was in place and the opposing party decided not to follow the court order Mrs. Newton was there for me once again and was able to place not only 2 count of contempt but was able to get attorney fees as well! I wouldn't want any other lawyer to represent me nor would I want to be going to court against Mrs. Newton.

Superior Legal Expertise

Attorney Newton was exceptional and provided legal expertise resulting in a positive outcome for my Protection Order. She demonstrated a remarkable level of courtroom acumen and strategic thinking. Her keen observation of law enforcement personnel chatting with opposing counsel during a court recess..., and subsequent, skillful leveraging of that interaction used it against the defendant in the hearing! Her tactic was both innovative and legally sound, effectively undermining the defendant’s case. Attorney Newton is very sharp, quick thinking, and her dedication to my case allows me to finally have peace of mind. I highly recommend her for all your legal issues.

Review for Jazmin and Her Team

Jazmin and her team have truly been the highlight of what has otherwise been a very scary and frustrating process. I came to her through a referral, and it quickly became clear why. Her attention to detail (an understatement of the year), straightforward communication, and ability to cut through the ...noise to get to the heart of the issue are unmatched. I’ve been to court multiple times with Jazmin and her team, and each time they’ve navigated the process with grace, poise, and clarity. She is always on time, always prepared, and never misses a beat. Her diverse experience within the local QCA legal system makes her the perfect person to have by your side. She's well known locally for her stellar work and impeccable reputation. Most importantly, what I valued most was that Jazmin never told me what I wanted to hear. She told me what I needed to hear. That honesty, paired with her professionalism and skill, is something I will always be grateful for.
