Best Family Attorney in Austin

Joe Newberry always put my kids first. My situation that might have otherwise ended in a lengthy and ugly hearing was quickly diffused out of court because he’s highly skilled and he and his family have been doing this for a very long time. He let me make decisions and made it clear that he was the...re to represent what I wanted and was there to educate and guide me along the way; that was important to me. He’s very empathetic and has such a humanizing approach. Divorce is ugly, but Joe Newberry is the best family attorney in Austin.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Newberry handled both my divorce and child custody cases. He was professional, thorough and truly empathetic throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond giving me support/advice as we moved through the complex legal steps. He was always prompt and responsive to all my concerns and q...uestions. Without Mr. Newberry’s legal expertise, I don’t think I would have made it through both my divorce and child custody cases so successfully. I will forever be grateful to him.

Joe Newberry is closer.

For four years, I dealt with my child custody and support case with another Attorney, and it was draining. I was referred to Joe and his team by a close friend. Joe got the case closed within 60 days. Joe was the support I needed during a tough and emotional time. I would recommend him to anyone l...ooking for a lawyer who gets things done with professionalism, honesty, and excellent follow-through.

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.

Best lawyer EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I filed for divorce in April 2015 and I had the worst lawyer possible. I've never had a divorce so I didn't really know what to expect and it wasn't until I was into deep I realized that she was not fighting for me or helping me to actually move forward. She was stalling and draining me of money th...at I didn't even have to begin with. After 1 year and 7 months with this lawyer, not doing anything for me and threatening to leave me without representation if I didn't come up with 20, 000 in additional funds in 5 days. My court date had already been set for January 25th. I was devastated and literally at rock bottom. Trying to still see if I had any options left, I began searching online for help if I could get any. I was scared and defeated. That's when I found the Newberry Law firm online. I didn't know if they could help me, but I sent in a brief description of my situation and some questions. I received a response that day and a phone call with Mr. Newberry. Right from the beginning he gave me hope and that was the day he became my new lawyer. He gave me a fighting chance. He took my case on in November of 2016 and I was divorced on January 25, 2017 with a chance at a new life for myself and my boys. He did more for me in a 3 month span than my previous horrible lawyer had done for me in 1 year and 7 months. He fought hard for me and I will forever be grateful to him. He is highly intelligent, caring, and aggressive. I felt, for the first time, that I had a chance. I had never seen my ex husbands lawyer get on the defense like he had with Mr. Newberry. It was awesome to witness!!! Even after my divorce, Mr. Newberry and Leslie (Paralegal) stayed and talked to me at the court. They were so supportive and reassuring. I know that even now I can call them for help if needed. I just really can't praise them enough. There is just no other law firm that could compare. Leslie Matthews, my paralegal, and yes I called her mine. She was a rockstar. On top of everything, quick to answer any and every question, , super intelligent, and so very caring. Together, Mr. Newberry and Leslie make a fantastic team! I am just so very blessed to have them represent me. I just wish that I had found them sooner. Even Benjamin Ashton, who greets clients is so very cordial and helpful. He helped me carry all of my boxes from my old lawyer. I would recommend the Newberry Law firm 10 times over to any and everyone. Please don't make the mistake that I did and hire a mediocre lawyer. Hire the very best and that is the Newberry Law Firm.
