Patricia A Newman

Nobody likes to hear the words "I am in love with another woman" especially not after 17 years of marriage. Pat was such a solid voice of reason for me at a tough and very emotional time. She was just the right amount of smart, tough and compassionate. I consider myself very lucky to have had her o...n my team. She knows her stuff and was good at presenting things as a lay person could understand. I truly felt through the whole process she genuinely cared about me and getting an outcome I would be happy with. She succeeded and was very fairly priced as well. She gets high recommendations from me!

Patricia Newman represented me against my son's father in a very nasty custody battle. She's hardworking, diligent, extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in her area of expertise. I feel blessed each night when I put my young son to bed that I was referred to her. Pat was available to me nearly alw...ays and when she wasn't available she'd get back to me within the same business day. Pat seems to pour her heart into her work and seems to enjoy what she does. She never made me feel inadequate for asking questions, sometimes the same question repeatedly. I found her to be friendly and honest, which is hard to find. She prepared me for worst case scenario, yet remained optimistic and kept me feeling positive as well. I highly recommend Pat Newman to anyone in need of assistance. When other issues arouse in my case that was not her area of expertise she referred me to the appropriate attorneys necessary to satisfy all areas of legal work that were necessary in my life due to the separation from my child's father. After my son's father hired an attorney of his own, she was extremely professional in the manner in which she dealt with his attorney. Pat was also very professional in dealing with doctors that became involved in our case that were less than accommodating and quite frankly difficult to deal with, yet she again maintained her professionalism. While waiting for appointments, I'd notice other clients leaving her office seeming as satisfied with her as I am. I pray I will never need her assistance again; however, if need be I wouldn't consider calling anyone BUT her. Pat's dedication to my case paid off and I have custody of my young son. If you're looking for an attorney that will work hard and give all of herself to your case do not hesitate contact Patricia Newman.

This was the second time that I worked with Patricia. I hired her 7 years ago to take over my divorce case when my previous attorney had been letting deadlines slip. Last year it became crucial that I file for full custody of my daughter. I initially thought that my case was pretty solid and t...hat we were sure to win. But Patricia works her cases from every angle anticipating all possible objections that could be raised by the other side and prepares her strategy accordingly. I admired Pat's in depth knowledge of the law, her professionalism and court presence. She always kept me informed regarding every aspect of my case. I never felt like i was "just another case" or that my phone calls were perceived as inconvenient or annoying. She had the difficult task trying to overcome a tilted scale, that was not in our favor: I was a father pursuing custody--but WE WON!! Along the way she was bombarded by all the ridiculous motions filed by my ex-wife's 'rookie' attorney. Hence, she worked tirelessly to successfully defeat them. I have been totally pleased with Pat's services and I HIGHLY recommend her to you all.

I met Pat when my husband was going through his child custody case with his ex in 1998. My ex and I, at the time, had a parenting plan in place for our own children. Pat did a wonderful job with my husband's case and we received, and still have, joint custody of his daughter, Kylie. Pat helped us un...derstand that the best way to raise Kylie was by working together with her mom to raise Kylie. 2 years later, in 2000, my ex and I started having issues with our parenting plan and I called Pat for help. Pat worked with my ex (he insisted on representing himself) and me to work out a plan for custody of our 3 boys. After many difficult months, (my ex can be a very difficult person to deal with, to say the least) Pat was able to create a joint custody parenting plan that was fair and she was able to get my attorney fees paid by my ex for all the time he wasted in court and out. She did an amazing job for me and helped me deal with the stress and anger I had while going through the whole process. 6 years later, 5 days before Christmas, I was served with papers from my ex stating that he had filed for full custody. He had been arguing and fighting with the boys and blamed me for "ruining his relationship with his children". Frantic, I called Pat, and I can honestly say, she saved my sanity. She led me step by step through everything that needed to be done while keeping me focused on the most important thing, the children. During the next 2 years of unbelievable actions and delays that my ex and his attorney put us through, Pat kept me informed, focused, calm, and was with me every step of the way. She kept me grounded when I thought I was going crazy. She remained calm when my ex and his attorney did everything in their power to waste time and money. 2 years, 2 months, and 5 days later, I had full custody and my attorney fees paid by my ex...again. Going through a custody battle is one of the hardest things to deal with...for all parties involved. Mine was the worst thing I have ever gone through in my life. Having Pat by my side through the whole ordeal made it so much easier. She is professional, thorough, and willing to work hard for her clients. I have dealt with other attorneys in the past and I can say without a doubt, that Pat truly cares about her clients. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone who needs help.
