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 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

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.

Imo, a rising legal star...

John is diligent, reasonably priced, and reliable.. But, it's his knowledge of the law that sets him apart.. It's also what allows him to practice many forms of law, so effectively.. He simply lets no detail or legal avenue slip through his grasp, which is why I really think he could become a legal g...iant in criminal defense.. I recommend him without reservation to anyone who needs a legal defense, or contract advice..
