Grandparent Guardianship Success
I highly recommend Joe and his team to you. This is my story. I have guardianship of my granddaughter for the last 6 years. This last year the mother made an attent to kidnap my granddaughter at her camp. I was out of town and Joe was on vacation. I got a call from the camp that the mother wanted to take my granddaughter out of camp to see a dying relative. The mother in the court order had no visition rights to her child. I called Joe and within 15 minutes he was talking to the police at the camp and the officer told the mother she had to leave because of the court orders we had. I could have lost my granddaughter forever if it wasn’t for Joe being on watch for his clients even on his vacation. I will never forget that horrifying day when I got the call from the camp, Joe began work on terminating the mothers rights and we won in court. Joe is amazing human being. We will forever keep him in our prayers.

Hire Joe and win your case
I cannot say more positive experience with Joe and his staff. If you want to win your case, hire Joe. I can say I had the toughest case in child custody. Joe accepted the challenge and accomplished our goals. I had a jury trial for my final divorce hearing (rare in civil matters) in additional to numerous temporary hearings with another lawyer. I won with primary custody but a geographical restriction. Not knowing too much about the system, I left the geographic restriction for my job for less than six months. I thought I could easily reverse custody after I moved back. After all it was for the benefits of the children. It turned out to be a difficult and prolonged process. It was also amidst COVID with all the changes. Joe and his staff are highly organized, knowledgeable, professional and flexible in their law practice. The court reversed custody and granted all for the best interests of my children. With his own life experience, Joe knows what a family needs and what are considered the best interests of the children. Joe and his staff are kind people fighting to reveal the truth no matter how the opponent behaved. For this, we are forever grateful!

Look no further..Joe and his team are the best!
I procured Joe as my divorce attorney through a referral ( another well known attorney ), and I can't express enough how grateful I am. He's truly genuine, very talented and actually committed/focused on his individual clients. He is professionally and respectfully well known in the Austin area and his reputation somewhat intimidated my ex wife’s attorney. I very seldom leave reviews, but I know how hard it is to find an attorney you can count on. He went above what you might expect. I didn’t feel I had to rush when speaking to him and he made me feel more comfortable and hopeful. He took his time explaining everything to me in detail. He fought for me and guided me every step of the way; always available day and night. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone who is looking for help on a divorce.

Best Family Attorney in Austin
Joe Newberry always put my kids first. My situation that might have otherwise ended in a lengthy and ugly hearing was quickly diffused out of court because he’s highly skilled and he and his family have been doing this for a very long time. He let me make decisions and made it clear that he was there to represent what I wanted and was there to educate and guide me along the way; that was important to me. He’s very empathetic and has such a humanizing approach. Divorce is ugly, but Joe Newberry is the best family attorney in Austin.

The Absolute Best Attonery in Austin Texas!
I’m certain that Joe and his team see cases like ours all the time. However, when your biggest love is being a father and a divorce threatens the possibility of not having your children 50/50. A fear of uneasy sets in and you can’t get that out of your mind. Joe study’ed my the case. He asked real questions and he needed full transparency. We gave him everything he asked for. After meeting with Joe, He told me that this will be a process and he had our family’s best interest Mind. After a year of back and forth and having to provide everything under the sun. We prevailed and set forth on a life of happiness. I have my children 50/50 and support was not granted. I can’t express the amount of gratitude and respect I have for Joe and his team! He was truly a man of his word and I could never repay him for the happiness he’s given our family. Thank you Joe for making my dreams come true!

Everyone needs a Joe Newberry
I should have hired Joe Newberry 3 years ago, instead of trying to represent myself. I dug myself a hole by trying to handle a child support/custody case myself and Joe was able to get me exactly what I wanted with in 2 weeks. Highly recommend him and his practice.

Highly Recommend
Mr. Newberry handled both my divorce and child custody cases. He was professional, thorough and truly empathetic throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond giving me support/advice as we moved through the complex legal steps. He was always prompt and responsive to all my concerns and questions. Without Mr. Newberry’s legal expertise, I don’t think I would have made it through both my divorce and child custody cases so successfully. I will forever be grateful to him.

Joe Newberry is closer.
For four years, I dealt with my child custody and support case with another Attorney, and it was draining. I was referred to Joe and his team by a close friend. Joe got the case closed within 60 days. Joe was the support I needed during a tough and emotional time. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who gets things done with professionalism, honesty, and excellent follow-through.

Literally a Godsend
Joe told me when I first spoke to him “I’ll take care of you.” He did. Not only me, but my children too. His staff is as wonderful as he is - very hard working and upright individuals. If it weren’t for Joe’s help, my kids and I would still be suffering. He worked fast to get us the results we desperately needed. If you’re in need of an honest and dependable lawyer who will give you his best, look no further. Joe will fight for you and your loved ones.

I had to hire a lawyer pretty quickly to get my divorce started, and Joe came recommended from a co-worker. So glad that I made the call to Joe and his team, as they were so supportive and helped me every step of the way with my situation. If you are going through a divorce and want the best team on your side, call Joe!

Highly recommended!
Joe Newberry and his team are amazing! I hired a cheaper attorney prior to hiring Mr. Newberry. She was unorganized and not responsive. She made a mess of my custody case. After months of not resolving anything with my 1st attorney. I felt hopeless. Someone recommended Mr. Newberry. I came into his office for a consultation. He was kind. He was also straightforward about the difficulties ahead. He was able to do what seemed impossible. I was able to get the best resolution for my kids. His team was responsive and helpful. I cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Newberry!!

The Best Austin Divorce Lawyer!
I can't recommend Joe enough to anyone that's facing a divorce. My ex and I couldn't come to terms on just about anything involving our daughter, from vaccinations to school. Joe was able to act fast and set up temporary orders allowing me to provide the safest and most stable situation for my little girl. Joe did his homework and was able to easily navigate the court process in Travis County. I am happy to be a father in Texas with custody of my daughter. Thank you Joe!! If you need a divorce lawyer in Austin then you have to call Joe!

You will NOT find a better family law attorney anywhere
There is no words to express my gratitude and appreciation for what Joe, Leslie, and Melissa did for me and my family. I was blessed and fortunate that I came across Joe's name when trying to find an attorney to salvage my case after my first attorney and 9 months pro se had put my case in what seemed like a no-win situation. My case had already gone on for over 2 years when I hired Joe. I had gone through a mediation on my own, and had a GAL assigned. I have always thought that the truth would prevail, but I was so WRONG. I was in the process of being railroaded by a GAL who was completely snowed under by the other party and was eventually given, by her own admission, the most restrictive visitation recommendation she had ever given. I was looking at seeing my daughter ONCE a quarter! Joe and his team went in to action, and after well over a year of fighting for me, Joe was able to get me standard visitation. Joe fought two attorneys on top of the GAL recommendation and was able to overcome all of that to give me and my family the outcome we deserved. He fought through every roadblock that was thrown in our way, and was able to give my daughter what she deserves. I could go on forever about all Joe did for us, but it would never give justice to what he was able to do. I give Joe the highest possible recommendation. If you are in need of someone who will do everything within his power to give you a chance to win your case, you NEED to hire Joe. Joe went well above and beyond for me, and will for you as well.

Worth every penny.
I am a single dad of 2 kids in Austin Texas. Joe was able to settle my case in mediation. It was the most difficult time of my life and Joe and his office where exceptionally professional and reassuring thru the entire process. Their billing was clear and direct and I felt completely confident that I was getting my moneys worth. I was convinced that I would only get to see my kids every other weekend and would pay so much child support that I would have to get a second job. You hear horror stories about good dads getting a raw deal. Joe helped me beat those odds. You can not go wrong with Joe. I can't recommend him to anyone going thru this enough.

Need An Attorney Who Will Fight For YOU? Call Joe Newberry...
I never thought i would write a review for an Attorney, but Joe Newberry has earned it, plus more! WHY? simply by being an ordinary guy, doing extraordinary things for his friends and clients! I was in dire straights by the time i found Joe. my confidence was low, i had taken a legal beating and felt i had been taken advantage of by "the system" and previous legal professionals. lots of promises. lots of money. horrific results! a good friend listened to my woes and said; You need to call JOE NEWBERRY! Joe lifted my spirits immediately and for the first time, i finally felt like i had an attorney who is working for me, not the all mighty billing meter. Joe, stood by my side and explained the current situation to me in black and white. Joe reassured me that i wasn't in this alone - and with his knowledge, logic and results oriented focus, i can do better. i hired Joe on the spot and things made a 180 degree turn quickly... in my favor. i finally had someone fighting for me! fighting for what was right! Joe's advice turned out to be gold. i have made some mistakes in life, but NOT finding Joe sooner was a very costly mistake, i will not make again. if you are looking for a "no strings attached" attorney who is uniquely qualified to focus on YOU and what is best for you and your family...you better call Joe and his TEAM, sooner vs. later. i empirically endorse Joe Newberry! i now i stand by his side as an advocate, in an effort to repay Joe for the goodwill he has created for me.

This attorney is second to none
I hired Joe Newberry in mid December of last year. I was in need of an attorney to assist with a custody case and I didn’t know where to start. After going online and requesting a call from a handful of attorneys, Joe called me right away himself. It took all of 5 minutes for me to know I had found my guy. I was in search of an attorney but with many stipulations. I wanted someone that was also a parent and understood the parent-child relationship. I wanted an attorney that would be assertive, direct, hard working, efficient and affordable. I also wanted the person I hired to take my case with the best interest of my son in mind, not my best interest or their pocket books best interest. I needed someone that would provide me all of the details along the way, ask for my thoughts and opinions on matters, present the facts, and let me weigh my options. Finally, I wanted someone that was going to be respectful but stern to help me finally get the time I am deserving of in regards to my son. Joe Newberry was all of these and some. Joe and his staff made a very difficult circumstance become a painless process as they were constantly in touch via email or phone call to update me about the case, ask my thoughts on something, gather details in preparation of going to court, etc. Joe and his team well extremely organized, knowledgeable, effecient, prepared and always two steps ahead of my ex-wife’s attorney when it came to documentation and proving things. Joe settled my case out of court by mid March, which was faster than I ever anticipated. He worked diligently with my ex-wife's attorney to agree on every single thing we wanted, and he did it quickly and respectfully. I wouldn’t choose anyone else to handle a family law case other than Joe Newberry. I couldn’t have been more impressed with his work and the happier with the results than I am now. Thanks to Joe Newberry and his staff, I am enjoying more time with my son and I finally get to be the father I have always wanted to be.

I highly recommend
After leaving a lawyer that did not have my best interest in mind, I hired Joe Newberry (and associates). I immediately felt represented and had full trust in him, his team and their knowledge with family law. I had such a piece of mind knowing I could take the stress off of my own shoulders and let him do his job. I am so thankful for everything this team has done for me. They helped me through one of the hardest times in my life and I couldn’t thank them enough. I highly recommend them! Thanks again Joe
