Andrew Walker Newsom

I’d like to thank Andy Newsom from bottom of my heart. Before coming to Gearing Rackner and McGrath I had previous counsel who made mistakes that ended up costing me time with my kids and a lot of money. Andy clearly explained my options and provided me with realistic expectations. He did everyt...hing he could to help me understand all of the costs of each option. He really helped me feel comfortable and confident. After our initial consultation he quickly picked up the pieces of my case. He put together a plan of attack which led to negotiations and a fair and equitable resolution. I realized right away how ethical he is. He clearly proved himself as an outstanding attorney, but, just as important, he was honest, kind hearted, and personable. Andy and his team are invaluable and will fight for your rights as a parent. I am forever grateful and blessed to have had them on my side. Sincerely, Karl

Andrew and everyone I worked with on his team were professional and caring for me as a person, not just a case. He is an attorney, good at what he does, who also worked to provide the service needed in the most efficient manner. I will use him in the future for any items that remain from the divorc...e and highly recommend him.

i highly recommend andy to be retained in any matrimonial matter. he handled my divorce proceedings with the uptmost of care and due diligence, including the settlement negotiations and appearances in court. we had full and complete discussions of strategy, process and procedure along the way, whic...h eliminated the high anxiety associated with the resolution issues. among the issues, he was especially sensitive toward the mitigation of the separation impact to the children and the due care that was needed. andy showed a great deal of client care along with his substantial legal conduct.

This was my first divorce (hopefully my last). Oregon is a "no fault" State, and I was about to go from screwed by an unfaithful wife, to more-screwed in the Oregon court system. My remarkably successful trek through this nightmare is why I cannot let this experience go without speaking up. I ...am so glad to tell you how pleased I've been with Andrew Newsom. I had met with another attorney before being referred to Andrew, and the difference was NIGHT & DAY. After one conversation with Andrew, I could not get my retainer back from the first attorney fast enough. Now through the whole process, I can honestly report that Andrew is a brilliant, talented, and gifted attorney beyond his years. I could not possibly have survived this divorce without the quality advice, strategic foresight, and always-available service I received from him. Not only is Andrew sharp, intelligent, and resourceful, but he was incredibly kind-hearted and empathetic to the place that his clients are in emotionally when they walk in the door. With Andrew I was in a constant state of comfort and confidence, knowing I was being well taken care of and he would get me through this. I really appreciated his level of 100% advocation for my case. Did I mention he's EXTREMELY SHARP? He achieved the best results possible for me, without any unnecessary costs. Maybe it doesn't always turn out this way, but if you need attorney services, know good advice when you hear it, and have the courage to follow that advice, Andrew Newsom is absolutely the attorney to call. Every day relief washes over me when I think about my case, that I was recommended to S,K&H, and more importantly that I came specifically into the service of Andrew Newsom (now with GRE&M). Andrew Newsom, I simply CANNOT thank you enough. There are no words.
