Outstanding Attorney

Skilled Energetic Professional Knowledgeable Efficient It was important for me to find an attorney with experience, who shared my values in business and integrity, who would partner with me through a difficult divorce, but also have the tenacity to fight the fight if necessary. She proved to ...be all that and more. I was impressed with her straight forward communication, her ability to fully explaining each detail, her efficiency to work diligently through each stage, to respond promptly to phone calls and emails and not waste unnecessary time. Highly Recommended!

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!

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.

Great Service Even When Dealing With Difficult Opposing Counsel

Sue Ann went to great lengths to ensure I understood the process and, when applicable, encouraged us (me and soon to be ex) to work on several matters ourselves, saving us both time and money. In the end, the effort resulted in reconciliation, however, she was very adept in working with a confrontat...ional and unresponsive opposing counsel, even picking up the other attorney's deliverables, to see the case through. Highly recommend.

by far best experience working with an attorney!

My experience couldn't have been any better. Made what was a very stressful time and delicate situation very easy to deal with due to our knowledge and willingness to work fast. Extremely easy to talk which makes everything run a lot smoother too. Thank you again Sue Ann Newman I can't thank you enou...gh would recommend her to anybody!
