Joseph Malone Newberry

Joe and his staff were very helpful during my divorce. He gave extremely good advice and was able to explain things in a manner that allowed me to make informed decisions. His explanations also helped me to explain/negotiate with my ex-wife so that we could come to terms on what was best for us movin...g forward as co-parents. While our divorce was generally "amicable", it was still stressful and Joe helped us move along in a productive manner.

We Hired Joe in 2013 for a complicated Child Custody case and divorce that a different attorney made a mess of. He handled everything with great professionalism, efficiency, and quick responses to every question we had! Finally in 2014 we completed our case with the best outcome and had a pure unders...tanding of our order. I would recommend him to anyone in search of a family attorney!

I had been in a nasty custody battle for almost 3 years prior to meeting Joe and his amazing team. My first lawyer never believed in my case, used up my retainer, gave me unhelpful advice, and never went to court for me. From the first meeting my wife and I had with Joe and Melissa, we could already... tell that these people were going to get the job done. I was so impressed with all of Joe's knowledge on the laws and how things are supposed to be done. Time was of the essence and Joe was able to get all the paperwork filed correctly and in a timely manner. I always felt like my case was a priority to the team, and Joe was very good at calling me to give me updates. He is very strategic and powerful in the court room. All in all the entire team at Leecraft and Newberry is an amazing group of people. Everyone works together to get the job done. I am so proud to say that my two daughters live with me full time now. I can not thank Joe and staff enough. It is because of them that this blessing has happened. If you looking for a fighter, Leecraft & Newberry is where you will find it. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone who is in need of a family law attorney,

Being relatively new to the Austin area, I asked people I knew for a recommendation on a family attorney and the one recommendation that stood out was for Leecraft & Newberry. Joe replied to my first email during the weekend close to the New Year and had me scheduled right away. No question wen...t unanswered and being my first legal conflict of this type, my expectations were well managed and Joe delivered exactly as discussed on every bullet point at every step of the process. He provided me with realistic scenarios and let me choose the path to proceed on. Joe is direct, confident and experienced. His team is professional, friendly and efficient and not only with me, but with the opposing party. I honestly dread the thought of how things would have gone with a cheaper attorney or even worse, trying to do the forms myself online. My case was final in just over 60 days and Joe still takes the time to check in to see how things are going. I wholeheartedly recommend Leecraft & Newberry to anyone going through family issues and want things handled right the first time.
