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

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.

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..

John Newsome is a wonderful attorney!

John Newsome is an excellent attorney. I spoke with many attorneys during the course of my divorce and I knew immediately after speaking with Mr. Newsome that he was the right choice. His rates are fair and reasonable, he is trustworthy, and I never had any problems getting in contact with him when... necessary. I was referred to him by a friend and now Mr. Newsome has handled 4 divorce cases for my friends and I. Great attorney, great guy!

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.
