Excellent and Compassionate

Sue Ann did an amazing job representing me in getting custody of my son. She always answered emails quickly and honestly. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great attorney. There isn't enough words to express how thankful I am for her and what she did for me. A++++++

Best family law attorney

Sue Ann is a fantastic person and the absolute best lawyer. I had a very hard and complicated divorce and she made everything so much easier. We had to go to court more than once over child custody and each time she was outstanding. In the court room, she was professional yet tenacious and it was ...evident by the great outcome. She knows the law very well and lets you know upfront of worst/best case scenario so that your expectations are grounded. She is smart, clever and a very good attorney. If your looking for a lawyer who's going to fight for you and do all she can to ensure you get the most just and fair outcome, then Sue Ann is the right attorney for you.

Sue Ann Newman rating

I appreciated Sue Ann's patience with me in the handling of my custody situation. She is very knowledgable in this area and gave me multiple options to pursue once she had an understanding of the situation. I really liked how her options ranged from least aggressive to most aggressive but her overall... intentions were to do what was best for me and what I thought was best for my family. I did not get a sense that she was just trying to make as much money as she could. I gained a strong level of trust with her through consultations and felt confident having her at the mediation table with me. She was responsive and available to my emails and phone calls and prompt when it came to drafting paperwork or making modifications to existing paperwork. My situation was handled timely and she was incredibly flexible with me on what I could do financially.

Awesome Attorney - Quick to respond

Sue Ann Newman took care of some retirement issues that had been pending for over a year. She resolved them in less than one month! She told me the cost upfront, kept me informed through the entire process and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. I can't thank her enough! I highly ...recommend Newman Law.
