Brilliant

Bobby represented me in a complex divorce. I was hesitant to hire him at his $650 per hour rate, but it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. My x-wife's attorney is $450 per hour, but consistently has 20% higher charges than Bobby despite his more expensive rate. He is extrem...ely efficient. While not an attorney, I had been in charge of the legal department for my former company. I used to think that great attorneys were aggressive and wanted to win for the sake of winning. Bobby is all that, but is flexible enough to change his style to match the circumstance. We had two different judges in this case and he quickly picked up on the right tone for each one. In one case aggressive, in the other collaborative. His memory is unbelievable. There were half a dozen times that something came up in testimony that he jumped on immediately from his memory of conflicting testimony he heard a year ago. On another occasion he was so troubled by opposing councils unreasonable bills he volunteered to not get paid until their bills could be reviewed. My feeling was that was beyond the "call of duty." I was also surprised by his very sharp financial acumen. Above-all he seems to understand what I was going throw. Instead of just giving me the safest and most conservative answers, he is confident enough to understand when to take calculated risks and when not to. He welcomed my participation in my case and really listened to my concerns. Cannot recommend him more highly. This guy made my life and my kids’ lives materially better.

I can't believe he's allowed to practice

I hired Bobby to handle my divorce and help me get custody of my infant son. He didn't spend much time learning the details of the case. He relies on his aggressive tactics and brings many unnecessary motions to have more time in court. When I ran out of money to pay his fees, he dropped my case i...mmediately and left me in a precarious position. He has now permanently damaged what little bit of trust and relationship I had left with my ex-spouse which makes it impossible for us to effectively parent our child.

Dishonest and disreputable

If you're looking for a lawyer who'll milk you dry, take as much money from the community property pot as possible, leave both sides hating each other, and in dysfunctional relationships with their kids, then Bobby Newman is your man. He represented me for two years before dumping me when I ran out o...f money to keep paying him. During that time he filed numerous unnecessary motions and made my and my ex spouses life miserable. Divorce is hard enough without having lawyers like Mr. Newman.

Beyond Outstanding! Known to be the best in town!

Bobby has an outstanding ability to give you the best results in the shortest time! You don't have to spend hours explaining your unique situation for Bobby to quickly get it. In a very efficient time frame, he gets the big picture, comes up with a strategy, and before you know it, you get the best p...ossible results (and in my case, I think it was the impossible results at least in some aspects!). Bobby is extremely intelligent, yet very down to earth and easy to talk to. He is a very busy attorney, but that only speaks of his skills! Because of Bobby, and his outstanding abilities, my children are thriving well through this divorce and I am able to spend more time with them and help them cope with it. He understood how to deal with a conning and manipulative personalities, and cares not just about you, but also about the best for the children. Aggressive, very smart, results oriented. I couldn't ask for more! Thank you Bobby, as I do agree with the other reviewer and second that Bobby really is the best in Houston! I witnessed it first hand.
