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.

Pleased

I had a very good experience with Sue Ann and always felt she wanted to help me resolve my challenges. I would use her again and recommend her to others as well. I was very happy with her from start to finish.

Wonderful attorney

I was bogged down in the legal arena for seven years, finally I found an attorney who is professionally competent and aggressively and interested in justice! I have nothing but praise for the flawless representation I received at the Newman law firm at the hands of Miss Sue Ann Newman!!!!! Thank you... so much!

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.
