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.

Family Law

Jazmin represented me as I went through a divorce. Her work was phenomenal. She brings a unique combination of intelligence, empathy, tenacity, and an outrageous work ethic. She's equally adept working through formal court proceedings, individual negotiations, and giving legal (and personal) advic...e. When Jazmin gives you advice, think about it very, very carefully. Then take it. Because in my experience, every single time she gave me advice, I found that she was 100% accurate and right. I was in a very unfortunate marital situation and suffering emotionally. Jazmin helped me through court hearings, spousal negotiations, research into appropriate actions, and appropriate financial distribution of assets. She then helped me follow through the many detailed strings that led to final closure of the issue. This was a very, very tough situation. Jazmin's professionalism, talent, dedication, integrity, empathy, and just plain hard work pulled me through my troubles. She put my needs front and center and fought for me every single time I needed help. I will be forever grateful for her work on my behalf. If I ever find myself in need of legal assistance in the future, I will immediately give Jazmin a call.

Failure to Yield/No Insurance

I hired Jazmin to assist with the following incident: A woman bounced her bicycle off the front right bumper of my stopped car, and proceeded to lay on the ground screaming for an ambulance, accusing me of running over her foot. I received two tickets: "failure to yield the right of way-accident", an...d "failure to provide liability-accident". There was no accident. Jazmin cooled my nerves and got both tickets thrown out. She also didn't even need to use my entire detainer, so I received part of it back. She was outstanding.

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!!
