Hire BKN at your own risk.

Bobby has a huge ego, as does his associate, Dawn. If you want a TV style attorney that goes to court and used emotions to win a case, then go for it. However, if you don’t have much to back up your case then you are wasting your money. He and Dawn were very aggressive in my trial, but did not see...m well prepared for the evidence that my spouse’s attorneys presented. Ultimately, with hindsight being 20:20, I should have settled and saved in the multiple 6 figures. If you choose to interview BKN take your time, do your research and don’t be afraid to ask all your questions about time, costs, how often he settles cases, and the outcomes of cases. As a general rule of thumb when someone says they always win know that it can’t be true. This may be considered petty, but in my opinion Bobby is overcompensating for his short stature with his overinflated ego. Not a winning combination!

Bright light at the end of the tunnel

Bobby Newman is not cheap, but then again - you get what you pay for! He ran circles around the opposing counsel in my case against my manipulative, narcissistic bully of a husband. When they refused to be reasonable in mediation, we rolled up our sleeves and prepared for a trial. All it took was Bo...bby’s opening statement to the jury and they were ready to settle. He won custody of my children and got more of the estate for me than we were even seeking in mediation. Definitely more than the 50/50 I was expecting! In the end, he showed me the light at the end of the tunnel and it was well worth the time and money it took to get there. HIGHLY recommend! If I could give him 10 stars, I would.

Poor Representation

Sent $30,000 and he never did meet with my daughter in over 3 years. Rather he passed all the work down to Associates who, like him, were impossible to communicate with and expect a response. The end result was that my daughter only received her share of the profits from their home sale and nothin...g more . They refused to send her that money until their final bill was paid. Not sure that is even ethical! She did get out of state custody of their daughter only because her ex agreed to it. I've worked with law firms for over 30 years and I could not ever refer this firm to anyone. All big talk at thr outset and nothing but disappointment thereafter.

Worse than you can imagine

Bobby will sweet talk you to get your 25k and then he turfs you off to the least slammed associate. They never communicate. I was never told I was divorced, Never had my questions answered after several emails, voicemails, and texts. I am an intelligent person but not a lawyer..I have never been thr...ough a divorce. Not once did they explain the process and what to expect. I felt very ignorant and alone compared to my ex-husband. I would never recommend this company, they are unorganized and inconsiderate of the client.

Very expensive and mostly unavailable to me

At first he seemed very interested in my case and wanted to help me. But he made me pay a huge consulting fee of around $700, and also a huge deposit of almost $30,000. I had heard some good things about him as a litigator if your case goes to court, and he was referred to me by another lawyer of min...e. But when the case started, he was mostly unavailable to answer my calls, and it seemed like he was also short staffed and they didn't call me back either. It was almost as if my case was a bother to him, and I ended up having to do most of my own legwork investigating and finding out things. I feel that there were several more much higher dollar divorce cases on his docket, and mine got kind of left behind in the dust, and I was a bother to him and his staff. Pros: great office Good litigator if your case goes to court, but 95% of them do not. Cons: overpriced and understaffed Seemed mostly interested in the $
