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 littl...e 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 seeme...d 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.

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.

The best in Austin

Joe was a referral from another very trusted attorney I know. He and his staff far exceeded my expectations. This was my first divorce (hopefully my last). Joe and Leslie helped me navigate the process every step of the way. I never felt alone or judged for not being able to just cut and run on the f...irst offense of my ex. Joe and Leslie were very knowledgeable, and responded quickly to any need I had. They helped facilitate a reasonable custody solution. Divorce sucks and comes with emotional roller coasters one cannot even imagine. If you want someone with a steady head who knows the law, and will do any and everything to fight for you, Joe and his staff are your only option. His prices are more than fair, and he did everything possible to get the job done, without breaking the bank. Joe is hands down the very best of the best.
