Trust dispute

I am very pleased to have found Doug. He is very knowledgeable in Trust laws. He has a dedicated work ethic which is difficult to find these days. I knew before the consultation was complete that he was an excellent choice. I am very satisfied with his services. Even though I reside on the East Coas...t he managed to maneuver around that obstacle. No one wants to have a legal dispute with family members and he was very understanding of my concerns. I quickly found myself confident in his knowledge and professionalism. Doug has excellent communication skills and was quick with replies to my questions. During what has been a difficult situation, it was comforting to know that I could trust his counsel. He was just what I was searching for in an attorney. I can’t thank him enough!

Family member breached agreement

My elderly father hired Atty. Newborn to resolve a breach of a verbal agreement between himself and his son where his son took a significant amount of money not owed to him after the sale of my fathers property. Atty. Newborns assistant Isaiah researched case law due to the nature of this particula...r incident and along with other factors in this case helped my father *win* his case. Atty. Newborn and the office personnel were always professional. Our calls were returned if we had questions and my father was kept current about case progression. *The down side to this case, which has nothing to do with Atty. Newborn who did a fantastic job, is that my father will probably never recover his money because the COURT SYSTEM/LAWS do not protect the victim/plaintiff from defendants who liquidate assets to avoid liens or collection of payment and or disappear prior to the case being decided in court. How does a victim recover his stolen money from the unscrupulous defendant? Something to think about if pursuing a defendant in a civil case where money is involved. These laws need to be changed to protect the victims. Yes my father won which is great - but on paper only.

LLC Formation

My wife and I hired Mr. Doug Newborn to assist us in forming an LLC for our new real estate related business. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney to help us through this process. Doug was extremely professional, courteous and prompt with the entire process. We are both pleased to know tha...t we have Doug's services to help us with our future business needs.

Represented us during sale of business

Doug represented us during the sale of our business to a new owner. Doug was extremely thorough and made himself available to us at all times. He replied to emails quickly (sometimes almost immediately) and made sure we fully understood all the details of the sale process. Doug is a great attorney..., an all around great person, and full of integrity! I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney!

Represented us in Earnest Money dispute with a Developer

Doug represented us in a dispute with a developer/builder related to refund of our earnest money deposit. We found him to be professional, efficient and a good communicator with us. The issue was resolved favorably within days at a reasonable cost for us and I firmly believe that Doug's professiona...l/non-adversarial approach with the other party was key to that outcome. I'd highly recommend him based on our experience!
