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 m...y 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

Awesome and Professional

I was in need of a Attorney in Texas so that I could have a order from Florida domesticated to be able to be served there in Texas. They were able to get this done for me fast and efficiently. I was able to get things done with in a week of getting in contact with this office. I am Extremely satisfie...d with their work. I would recommend this office for anyone.

Kids First - Always

Joe and his team were great. My situation was complicated (as I'm sure everyone's is), but Joe worked with me every step of the way. Part of the reason I went with Joe in the first place was his commitment that the kids come first in the divorce process - and every recommendation and decision along w...ay only confirmed that this was not just words.

Hard working & tenacious!

Joe was my attorney over a 10 child custody month period and provided exceptional representation the entire time. I was subject to a rather contentiousproceeding that had involved the Attorney Generals office coming after me for child support that had already been paid and an ex-spouse that was ...routinely threatening to move my children away from me. Joe managed to help hold the AGs office at bay while this and other visitation issues where litigated. End result was increased visitation, all concerns with AGs office resolved and a geographical restriction on my ex-spouse preventing future moves Fathers tend to fight an uphill battle in our legal system, Joe handled the entire stressful process with ease and ensured justice was attained I highly recommend him, Thanks Joe!
