I wasn't sure if she was working for my ex-husband or for me!

We hired Ms. Newman to help with a disagreement with custody/visitation. She wanted to take a sit back and wait approach and we needed a go getter. We were not in agreement with her advice but tried to follow it anyway. It may have hurt us more than it helped us. At times I felt as if she was wor...king more for my ex than for me. She recommended things that we had already advised her we were not interested in and when communicating with me she would only address concerns she wanted and ignore other questions I had. The only good thing I have to say is she great about responding by phone and email in a timely manner. I would not recommend her at all. We hired a different attorney who was ready to take action immediately, gave us good advice that contradicted hers and was ready to help us with all of our legal needs.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
