Being injured as a result of another's negligence is often a devastating experience. If this happens to you or a loved one, you need help from someone who understands the insurance claims and legal system.
I have been representing individuals and families in injury and wrongful death cases for over 30 years. I have extensive experience in medical negligence, bicycle, pedestrian, truck and car collisions, workplace and construction accidents and premises liability actions. Together with our experienced and professional staff, I provide the highest level of representation by conducting a complete investigation, preserving and developing compelling evidence and obtaining detailed medical information to prove the injuries and damages suffered. My trial results are solid--a product of this pretrial work and focussed, dynamic and compelling trial presentations and arguments.
Claims and litigation are confusing and stressful for most people. I provide my clients with a full understanding of the process and how they fit into it, always accessible and willing to answer their questions and addressing their concerns.

I highly recommend Mrs. Newton and Mr. Coon
My father had a horrible accident that almost ended his life. I was stuck in a world that was unknown to me. How do I deal with insurance companies? Hospitals? Interpreting Medical Charts?

Extremely competent and caring!
We hired Cynthia and her team to represent my husband after a bicycle/car accident where he needed 3 surgeries and was off work for 9+ months. They answered questions we didn't know we had! Amazing group of professionals. Highly recommend!
