OWI

I hired Jazmin to represent me in my second OWI citation. I followed Jazmins' advice and the outcome exceeded my expectations. Get expert advice and great negotion skills were an asset to my situation. I was very impressed and highly recommend her services.

Get What You Pay For!!

In October of 2017, I was charged with possession of a drug. I was very scared and overwhelmed! I had never been in legal trouble before! My job (of over 20 yrs) requires no charges on my background check! I needed a lawyer that believed in me and would fight for me! I met with several different l...awyers. I prayed about it and just really felt in my heart that Jasmin was the right attorney. She is extremely intelligent. She is well-rounded with experience in family law, criminal law, and street smarts. She is also highly regarded by her peers, I observed her colleagues in court treat her with respect and admiration. My case lasted about four months. Ms. Newton-Butt kept in contact with me. She was easily reachable. She scheduled multiple meetings with me and met me in court, she was always on time and always well prepared! I actually watched in the court room as she fought for me vigorously! I was very impressed with her tenacity and skill. Although I was anxious, she made me feel comfortable and hopeful! Finally, my case ended with a win! Jasmin spoke with the prosecutor in multiple court appearances. She had a wonderful idea of how others could help on my behalf, I feel that this idea helped tremendously! She cares about her clients and cares about the community! I am so very thankful for Jazmin! I hugged her and cried right inside of the courthouse! I can not express how highly I would recommend her! If you are intimidated by the court process and feel overwhelmed, I would recommend hiring Ms. Newton-Butt to help guide you through this terrible process! I am so very thankful for her fighting on my behalf, for her concern about my personal well-being, and her strong personality! Her fees are reasonable and worth every penny!! I am very thankful that with Jesus and Jazmin, I was in good hands!!

Highly recommend

I had her work on a child support case and taking my ex-husband back for bills. She was very specific on everything that I needed to do and what information I needed. This was all new to me and she was very patient. Whenever I emailed her she responded very quickly. She was always very helpful. I w...as so happy with the results.

Excellent attorney

Jazmin Newton-Butt helped my husband and me through separate legal issues. She is very professional and I know she is capable of getting the outcome that is best for both parties involved. Anytime someone says they need an attorney, Jazmin is the only person I tell them to call. Highly recommend!
