He has changed my life and is the only lawyer I will ever use!

A genuine person that actually cares. Gary represented me in several matters. He was the third lawyer I had met with and seemed to know as much about how my knee as my doctor. He even explained things about my knee that my doctor did not have the time to explain. Anyways I hired him and he alway...s returned my phone calls and explained to me what would happen. When the case was over I new I had gone to the best. Latter

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.

In a time when people are so cynical about lawyers and the legal system, it’s understandable - they haven't met Gary Newland.

Gary A. Newland has consistently provided superior service and positive results in the legal matters he has represented on my families behalf. His expertise in the legal field and complete understanding of my questions and concerns, allows Gary to effectively communicate in language a non-lawyer can... understand. I recommended Gary to a friend/co-work that was having difficulty reaching a settlement due to an injury. I recommend Gary because I knew he had the knowledge, experience and dedication that would result in a positive solution for my friend. My friend was so impressed with Gary and couldn't thank me enough for recommending him. In a time when people are so cynical about lawyers and the legal system, it’s understandable - they haven't met Gary Newland.

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.
