happy with the out come of case

I received Grandparent rights. A lot more than I expected. I recommend this attorney for who are raising their grandchildren or any child custody case. This law firm should be your choice. I am 100 percent satisfied.

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

Best bang for the buck

Mr. Newberry and his staff represented me in a child custody case. Though the opposing counsel and his client tried to bully us, and made the entire experience as drawn out and difficult as possible, Leecraft and Newberry stayed the course. Through their great persistence and diligence, I was able ...to obtain custody of my daughter. Participating in a custody battle can be expensive and arduous, but Leecraft and Newberry were by far a bigger bang for my buck. My legal fees were half that of the opposing counsel, and the outcome of the case was overwhelmingly lopsided in our favor. I would absolutely recommend Joe Newberry and his firm for legal representation in a family law matter.

Joe Newberry and Team

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,

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.
