Great attorney!

I hired her for a custody case. We had a great experience with Mrs. Newman. She was quick to start the paperwork, very communicative, and clearly knows what she’s doing. I would 100% recommend and hire her again.

Concise and effective

Sue Ann did an excellent job helping me rework a botched divorce order. She was professional and knowledgeable and gave excellent advice on the best route to take. She was very professional and personable with the judge and our outcome was just what I was hoping for. Highly recommend.

Exceptional Attorney

Sue Ann V. Newman handled my divorce. She gave excellent counsel throughout, always responded quickly to phone calls and emails, and court documents were prepared accurately and completely, and delivered when promised. When mediation became necessary, her guidance through that process was assuring an...d effective as well. She also continued to provide counsel after my divorce was final when some financial challenges emerged in the process of refinancing my home. She and her staff were always very kind and professional, and I will never forget how they helped me in a most difficult time in my life. I will always highly recommend Sue Ann V. Newman to anyone needing a skilled, compassionate and exceptional attorney.
