Sue Ann Newman... The Best!!!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with attorney Sue Ann Newman. Divorce is always a difficult process and Sue Ann was there for me every step of the way. She listened to my goals, concerns and priorities in reviewing the details of the case and offered valuable perspective a...nd advice to protect my interests. A few things about working with Sue Ann: Knowledge: Sue Ann clearly knows the details of her job, but more importantly, explained it in such a way that it was easy to understand. She cut through the noise and "legal jargon" and allowed me to feel really comfortable that I knew what was going on in my case every step of the way. Communication: Sue Ann proactively kept me informed of the progress of my case. I always knew she was working hard on my behalf and her consistent updates gave me a sense of calm knowing there would be no surprises. Responsiveness: Sue Ann and her team responded to my questions quickly and never left me waiting or in the dark. They took a time of significant anxiety and put me at ease. Tenacity: Sue Ann was tireless in protecting my interests and was an advocate for me throughout the process. She listened to my needs and made delivering on them her #1 priority. Sue Ann was honest, fair, and a strong advocate for me. I will always be appreciative that she was in my corner during this difficult time. She is the best!

A go-getter

She was always helpful with any questions that I had and was always on the ball. She made sure to make the process of the case as fast, efficent, and easy as possible. She's hardcore in that she's going to fight hard to defend her clients and she gets a great amount of respect from government officia...ls. She fights for you as if it were herself and she really cares about your situation. She has a drive to win. She's worth every penny. I would highly recommend people to hire her as their attorney.

Above the rest.

I spoke to several attorneys before deciding on Sue Ann, and after meeting with the others, the choice was more than clear. From very first meeting, it was obvious that she truly cared about my situation and didn't just see me as a walking dollar sign. Her diligence and prompt communication were key ...to our success in my case. As a matter of fact, we never even had to go to court, the other party finally settled. They say most cases are won before they even make it to the court room, through her professionalism and hard work, this was exactly the case. I recommend her services to anyone who wants great representation by someone who has your best interest in mind.

Highly Recommend! Great Representation!

I hired Ms. Newman to help me in a very contentious divorce case. Ms. Newman was very attentive to my questions and concerns and was prompt in returning my phone calls and e-mails. She was highly effective in court and extremely knowledgeable, yet compassionate to my situation. She made sure I ...understood my options and gave recommendations that were practical and on point. Hiring Ms. Newman was a great decision, I would highly recommend Ms. Newman for any family law issue.
