Excellent attorney for difficult custody battle

John is an amazing attorney who really cares and will fight for you. He took the time to understand not just the legal side of my case, but the emotional side as well. He went the extra mile and it was obvious he genuinely cared about the outcome. Thanks to his expertise in the law, I was able to ...get through one of the most difficult times in my life with peace of mind. I’m deeply grateful for everything he did and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a family law attorney who truly cares.

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 Attorney!

I have hired John Newsome several times in the last 4 years, on criminal and family matters. He is an excellent attorney, fair and reasonable. I really appreciate the fact that he fights so hard to get me the results I'm looking for. I used to think all lawyers were the same, do as little as possible... for an outrageous price, but Mr. Newsome is definitely the exception to the rule.

Avvo Rating

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.
