Simply THE BEST…

If I could give Josh 10 stars I would! My case started with a late night email of desperation. To my surprise I awoke to an email response the following morning empathizing with my situation and requesting a time to talk. When I called, Josh had already discussed my situation with his colleagues an...d they were poised to gather the additional necessary information from me as well as provide education about the legal principles that applied to my particular situation. I could not have been more impressed. Josh explained exactly WHAT he intended to do, and the outcome he hoped could be achieved as well as each scenario in between. He was forthcoming about how the firm billed, and offered solutions that resulted in no cost to me. Honestly I thought it all sounded too good to be true... but it only continued to get BETTER. Josh answered emails any time of day and kept me abreast of everything going on behind the scenes, he even called me outside of typical business hours. Josh approached the other party in my case with civility and solutions versus aggression and hostility. I feel confident this influenced the other party’s willingness to listen to his suggestions, ultimately agreeing with Josh’s assessment and working for a mutually agreeable solution. In the end, Josh managed to change the course of MY future... he asked for nothing in return and genuinely seemed thrilled for ME with the outcome. If you need someone to fight for your best interest in a work situation...I can’t imagine ANYONE will do a better job!!

Excellent attorney

I was referred to Joshua Newville by an already capable attorney who told me “he is your guy” for this case. He was absolutely correct! I worked with Mr. Newville for 5 years (Covid delays) before resolution in my favor on a civil rights case. He was always prompt with his responses when I had que...stions and respectful. His explanations were concise and clear and I was amazed at his insight into the case. I highly recommend this attorney!

Effective Communication and Clear Guidance

Joshua Newville delivered everything I could want in a timely manner. We were able to cover a fairly complex situation in just over an hour and he was able to offer me several paths to a resolution while clearly identifying the positives and negatives of each scenario, setting me up to pick the best ...path available to me. With his assistance, we avoided a drawn-out court process for a favorable settlement in a very timely manner. I could not recommend Josh Newville enough for his ability to simplify the complex, his expertise in discrimination law, and his solution-oriented thinking.

Exceeded my expectations

Mr. Newville did an incredible job handling my workplace discrimination case. We avoided court and I ended up with an out of court settlement that I was quite happy with, and in less time than expected. Their office was always happy to help with the details, I always felt heard, and I enjoyed working... with Mr. Newville. I really can't say enough positive about how he was able to represent me, and I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
