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.

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.

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!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
