This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The best firm!

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service I received from this firm. From the very first conversation, the team was professional, honest, and genuinely invested in helping me navigate a difficult situation. They communicated clearly, set realistic expectations, and always made sure I under...stood every step of the process. What stood out most was their combination of expertise and compassion. They were thorough, attentive, and consistently proactive — qualities that gave me both confidence and peace of mind. I never felt like just another case; they treated me with respect, cared about the outcome, and fought hard on my behalf. If you’re looking for a firm that operates with integrity, skill, and true client dedication, I highly recommend them. Their work made a real difference for me, and I’m extremely thankful for everything they’ve done.

A sigh of relief!

On the advice of a friend, I consulted with Mr. Newland. I believed I was in serious legal trouble but he patiently explained why this was not the case and lifted a tremendous weight off my mind. I'm sure there are a lot of lawyers that would have taken my money but Mr. Newland simply treated me w...ith respect and assured me I was fine.
