Joseph Malone Newberry

Mr. Newberry took charge from Day 1. I spoke to him at 8:00a.m. and I was in his office by Noon the same day. I was exeriencing child-custody issues and he did not hesitate once. Mr. Newberry was straight-forward and quick to say that all was going to be fine; and it was. All has been resolved an...d my family and I can move forward in the right direction. I was able to share Mr. Newberry's willingness to help and his kindness with my family. And he was thought of as a gift that kept on giving. Mr. Newberry will be forever in our hearts.

Why I decided to go with Law Office of Judy Leecraft I picked you Joe and his team in trust to best represent my case for what is best for my kids after spending several hundred dollars to three other law offices for consultations. Some of which advertise that they stand up for fathers rights. I alm...ost went with one of them until they did not return may call at a moment that all I needed to know was how do I get them a check and some questions on very important things that were taking place right then that I need advise on. Joe and Judy were highly recommended to me for a fighter. When I called the first time I was told that my case was most important due to the nature of kids being involved with very time sensitive steps that needed to be in place. I was missing what was most important from the other firms that I met with and it was real people to me up front in person and not at a table (business style). Joe and his team gave me the hope and drive that I needed to fight and I fault very confident that a Father stood a chance to be just as much of a part of his kids lives as the Mother. I know times have changed but I never would have imagined that it could happen until you meeting with them. I am very thankful for all of you and your staffs work. This has taken time but looking back now, like the saying goes; "good things go to those who wait". You and your team made it all work out for the best for our kids. I now have 50/50 custody with my kids. I will hope and pray that I won’t need your service again but I will recommend your firm to any and everyone that I know in their own time of need.

We retained Joe Newberry a few years ago in getting my husbands child support reviewed when our daughter was born. He dealt with my husbands extremely irrational ex with ease and made sure that my husband came out ahead. This was almost three years ago... Joe suggested then that my husband try to obt...ain custody of his son due to the mothers irrational and radical behavior at the modification... and my husband told him he would be calling him when we were in a better financial position to fight for custody. In April of this year (2012) we hired Joe Newberry again; this time to obtain custody of my step son. We had a very difficult, time consuming and detailed case that involved private investigators, attorneys, witnesses, old roommates, drug addicts, obtaining a difficult drug test and not to mention from hundreds of miles away. Joe took on our case, and dealt with all of the legalities, all of our people, private investigators, witnesses, schools, all of it.. Joe and the staff of Leecraft (especially Shannon and Judy) are absolutely fantastic, got us an emergency restraining order to remove the child from the mothers home due to a positive drug test for meth; got us custody of our son in temporary orders and yet again got us everything we wanted for our final hearing and permenant orders... We couldn't be happier with the results, the law office of Leecraft and Newberry saved my step sons life, and has given him back his childhood and we are eternally grateful for all their hard work. As for other reviews, good attorneys are expensive... you're best off getting it done right the first time, and we did with Joe. If we EVER have another legal issue with family law I can assure you we will be using Joe, Judy and Shannon again. On another note, they care so much for their clients.. I always felt at home, and I will miss all of my conversations with them. :)

1- Absolute money sucker. 2- goes to court room without studying the case. 3- depends on his Mother who runs the office. 4- his office changed minimum 2 layers , 2 legal assistants in less than 6 months. 5- never response on time. 6- never read the email content completely. its just like you ask... him right and he answers left and so on. if you have a divorce case that involves kids issue, then this is ABSOLUTLY not the right lawyer to hire.
