Joe Newberry review

Joe is a great attorney who helped me get my situation with my child and child's mother taken care of and made sure everything was set in place and that my child was kept in Travis county with an agreement with her mother not able to leave town. He helped me structure a child support agreement and go...t the best visitation rights without having to go to court. He also assisted me with a CPS case after health issues I had when they attempted to keep my daughter from me for no reason. I highly recommend Joe for family law issues especially when you have a child and are not married, to get your father rights. Top notch

Top Notch Attorney and Firm!

I retained Leecraft & Newberry PC to prosecute my very contentious divorce case. From the initial client intake and for the duration of the 10 months, the firm’s representation of my interests was outstanding. Joe Newberry ensured my rights were protected and navigated me through a very difficult pro...cess. I hired Leecraft & Newberry on a recommendation from a friend. I have been an attorney for 22 years and was very pleased at the caliber and quality of the legal representation I received. I highly recommend this firm and Joe Newberry specifically. Shannon, Joe’s paralegal, is just super as well and a true professional to work with.

Outstanding family 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.

Reccomendation for Joe Newberry as exceptional attorney!

Joe Newberry has most recently been handling my child custody/support case; however, his office also handled my very difficult and complex divorce that took over a year to resolve. So I have now known Joe for close to three years and have experienced nothing short of knowledgeable and honest guidanc...e though out both cases. He has been quick to respond to my inquiries, and timely with updates as they occur. I wholeheartedly recommend Joe for all your family law related needs.

Fathers do have rights and Joe can prove it!

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.
