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.

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.
