Hire Joe and win your case

I cannot say more positive experience with Joe and his staff. If you want to win your case, hire Joe. I can say I had the toughest case in child custody. Joe accepted the challenge and accomplished our goals. I had a jury trial for my final divorce hearing (rare in civil matters) in additional to num...erous temporary hearings with another lawyer. I won with primary custody but a geographical restriction. Not knowing too much about the system, I left the geographic restriction for my job for less than six months. I thought I could easily reverse custody after I moved back. After all it was for the benefits of the children. It turned out to be a difficult and prolonged process. It was also amidst COVID with all the changes. Joe and his staff are highly organized, knowledgeable, professional and flexible in their law practice. The court reversed custody and granted all for the best interests of my children. With his own life experience, Joe knows what a family needs and what are considered the best interests of the children. Joe and his staff are kind people fighting to reveal the truth no matter how the opponent behaved. For this, we are forever grateful!

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.

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!

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.
