He exceeds expectation, honest and has integrity!

Gary defended me against Bank of America in a foreclosure case. He actually filed a law suit against the bank. My principal was reduced by over $150,000.00 and my interest rate reduced to 2 percent. My family and I could stay in our home and it was not under water anymore. At the end of the case ...he refunded money we paid him that he said he did not earn. Two other lawyers actually told me to use Gary and now I understand why.

Gary changed my life and my brothers

Gary changed my life in so many ways. Gary would not let my employer take advantage of me. He really knows the law and would not give up. First he won at trial and then he won on appeal. He made my employer pay what they owed. He also helped my brother who had RSD and really understands what p...eople are going through. You can count on Gary. As for his brother Steve Newland he is just as good and got me a loan modification on my house that saved my home.

Glad I found him

Gary recently handled a case for me. I found him to be very friendly, helpful and sympathetic. He always had time to talk with me about my concerns and he really stayed on top of things. When Gary asks "How are you doing?" it's not just a greeting, he really cares. I consider him a friend. He dr...ove a hard bargain on my behalf and I highly recommend him.

A truely gifted and caring professional that will always go the extra mile!

Having known Mr. Gary Newland for many years, I recommend him without reservation. He has represented me in Real Estate dealings, contracts and professional agreements. I've also had the first hand experience working with Mr. Newland during depositions and have witnessed him always go the extra mile ...to do his best for his clients. He truly cares, is honest and trustworthy, and is committed to standing strong no matter the size of the challenge. No matter what brings you to Mr. Newland's office, consider yourself in the right place as he will represent you with excellence.

Pass This Attorney Up, In Our Experience He Has Emotional Issues - ....

My wife and me hired Attorney Gary Newland to handle two issues, Bankruptcy and Foreclosure as a result of unsuccessful open heart surgery, stroke, etc., loss of income, etc. Gary presented himself as a concerned Attorney with great ideas, and frankly all the reviews we read were positive (boy, woul...d we later find out how badly we judged his character). Gary's staff handled the Bankruptcy fine which we paid him $2,250 in advance (he had no personal involvement, a paralegal and Jr. attorney did everything). We then engaged his services to handle an impending foreclosure. We paid him $1,500 down and began a $500 per month direct withdrawal payment plan to build up a war chest of money to defend the foreclosure when the bank eventually filed sometime in 2014. After paying Gary $4,000 he presented us with a new Retainer Agreement to sign. We told his secretary there was one word in the "Services Provided" section that was labeled, "Delay" that should say, "Foreclosure Defense" and four other words, "Qualified Written Demand/Request" that needed to be deleted because he did not provide that service. A few days later, and without any forewarning Gary calls at 8:00 am and tells us over our speakerphone in a very angry voice, "NOBODY QUESTIONS MY RETAINERS, AND I DOUBT YOU WILL BE SATISFIED WITH THE FINAL OUTCOME, AND BY THE WAY, I QUIT AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE $4,000 YOU'VE PAID ME SO FAR". After making an objection to his threat a few days later to his secretary at his office about keeping all our money (and we still haven't been served with any foreclosure papers), a few days later we get most, but not all of our money back in the mail.
