Robert Newell

Robert defended me and made things fair. My ex moved 4 hours away. He gave great advice and was knowledgeable on everything. He convinced the judge to give my kids everything that was fair and in my favor. It was the best outcome for me and the children. My ex was sanctioned and I was able recovere...d my attorney fees. Without him I would not have this relationship with my children. Everything he said that could happen in my favor did happen. He knows his stuff. I never had to worry. He is worth it.

I was very leery about going through this process again since I’ve had a really bad experience in the past. Robert told me to trust him and things would be fine. I have been paying way more than %50 of my income plus I was still paying child support on a 21 year old son. He took my case and not on...ly did he get my support lowered but he got me other thing too that I wasn’t expecting. His paralegal Shari was top notch also. Was a really good experience and I was extremely happy with the outcome. I can’t Thank them enough.

I contacted Gillespie and Shields law firm after I moved to Arizona and needed my custody order changed from Colorado to Arizona. I had previously filed pro se and gotten a court date, so time was already ticking down when Robert got on my case. Robert was very professional and set realistic expec...tations at our very first meeting. He definitely over-delivered as far as the outcome of the case, I got everything that I asked for because of his meticulous, logical and reasonable approach. While the fees are expensive, I would consider this money well spent for the fact that we now have a lasting framework in place that is tailored to my specific case, and I am saving money in the long run by having a reduced child support obligation. I had a (relatively) complex custody matter, IV-D for child support and we initially we had to deal with some jurisdictional matters, as the case originated in Colorado and was moved to Arizona. Robert demonstrated expertise in interpreting and presenting the UCCJEA rules to the judge, on examining witnesses he was very effective in highlighting the points that we were trying to make...nothing was lost in translation. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone who is looking for assistance with child support or modification of custody. I have been through four family lawyers during my custody battle and he has by far achieved the best outcome. Very satisfied, thank you!
