Thorough and Efficient

Sue Ann was professional, courteous and effective throughout the process. She did an excellent job explaining my options, and always responded quickly to me and the opposing counsel. I got the best result possible, and it only took six weeks. I highly recommend Sue Ann and would definitely retain ...her again if necessary.

Best Decision

I talked to several attorneys about my case before I hired Sue Ann. Then I talked to her. I walked out of her office feeling positive about my case. She delivered. Custody, divorce...Good luck finding an attorney that could do it with as much respect, and intent as Sue Ann. I am a father, now a ...single father of an amazing little girl. Sue Ann took the time to listen, understand, and worked flawlessly. She can be intense at times, but it is due to her knowledge, and intent for YOUR outcome. I spent little time in the court room, my divorce and custody issue was worked out and finalized in less than 2 months. Sue Ann and her assistant Brandy are a fantastic team. They had an answer for every question, always had my case on hand. They could not have been more reassuring that my case was being handled, and that they were there for me. Please do not look for another lawyer, do yourself a favor and call her office.

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.

Amazing Attorney!

Sue Ann Newman is someone who knows what she is doing. She is straight forward and honest even if honest is not what you want to hear at the moment. She knows what she is doing and gets the job done. She will protect you and your rights and works hard to get results. I appreciate everything she has d...one for me and my children in this divorce. Thank you!

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!
