The real deal

I hired John with the advice of a friend for my divorce proceedings. He called me back on a Saturday... (who does that?) Then met me at length for free (free consultation) then walked me thru the entire process like a 'big brother' telling me straight without agenda, reminding me I was 'Madame Presi...dent'. He was very clear with me there were issues with my case he wasn't in favor of..'but I go where you say, Madame President' when I needed time to decide or consult with family he didn't pressure me. He even came up with an alternative to the Quadro saving me money and time. He told me to hire a counselor and to lean on my family and friends. He is easy to talk to, timely and an out of the box 'thinker'. He is the REAL deal!! Kristina

My legal savior

John Newsome has done it, again! I have used John's services several times since 2010. This week, he walked on water with his brown wing-tip leather shoes, to get DPS off my back. It was just a hearing, but Mr, Newsome was well prepared. He stated my case to the judge, conspicuously. I never had a do...ubt of my lawyer's abilities, but I have been burned before by a bad lawyer. The judge ruled in our favor, as he should, because I have a lawyer that walks on water!! Newsome Is Awesome! But, seriously, I am giving Mr. Newsome a 5 star rating for all of the times he has represented me. He is always very focused on his client's and very easy to talk to. If you're reading this review, and need a lawyer in the Houston area, call John Newsome.

The Best!

John has been my attorney since 2010. He has handled multiple family law cases that ranged from simple to very sensitive. He is a genuine person who does not yank you around with false hopes to bleed hours out of you. He's honest. He has now represented several people in our family and we conside...r him our Family Attorney and a friend. I could not recommend him more. Our experience with him has always been outstanding.

Great lawyer

Thanks to Mr. Newsome for his thorough counsel we were able to win the battle. He is very knowledgeable about the law and explains it for people to understand. Great job.

Honest

I have known John for a while now and when some legal issues arose for us he was very honest. That is definately a word that has not been easy to associate with attorneys lately for us. I would definately hire John in the future if necessary.
