Review Jordan New

Jordan is amazing!

Posted by

Jordan helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. He was thoughtful, thorough, had the utmost attention to detail, going above and beyond in every respect. He walked me through everything I needed to know about the process and assisted me by taking the stress off. I knew I could count on him to get the job done well. I would not hesitate to use him again, if I needed to and I refer him to everyone I know who needs a good attorney.

I highly recommend Jordan New for complicated divorce situations...

Posted by

I have been working with Jordan New for almost 2 years to complete my divorce process with a highly uncooperative other party. This was a highly stressful process for myself and my children, we were faced with a lot of “unknowns” as we navigated through it. Not only was Jordan highly organized, efficient, and consistently available, he was a rock in my storm so to speak. While Jordan was very sympathetic to the situation my children and I were placed in, he helped to keep me grounded in the facts and the paths we needed to take forward to ultimately complete our process. Jordan is ethical, kind, and professional and these are the skills he utilizes to get the job done. Jordan is also highly intelligent and I never once had to question his legal advice or get another opinion. 18 months later, my divorce is complete and my life is finally able to start stabilizing. I recommend Jordan New to EVERYONE, He is the only attorney that I will ever use if future issues present themselves.

Outstanding Attorney!

Posted by

I recently went through a divorce that lasted almost a year and a half.In the course of this divorce, Jordan's extensive knowledge in Family Law alongside Criminal justice has helped to take right decisions while dealing with a narcissistic and uncooperative ex. My divorce case in its nature was a bit complicated including an existing restraining order,extending restraining order, international law related to dowry and assets.Jordan's strong work ethics, attention to details,hard working nature,simplistic approach towards solving problem and amazing writing skills was added advantage in approaching this case a more professional and realistic manner.Anyone who has worked with Jordan will know his passion towards the work he has undertaken and how genuinely he is interested in helping his clients. In addition to the legal guidance , i am eternally thankful to Jordan New for the emotional and mental support he has provided me and my family throughout this difficult period. I would highly recommend Jordan and his law firm, Brincat & New to anyone in search of a thoughtful, caring legal crew.

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Jordan as an attorney. I appreciate the way he handled my case from our initial phone call to our final settlement. I found Jordan to be professional, incredibly proficient in his family law knowledge and a man of integrity. He is a timely and effective communicator and always had my best interests at heart. I feel Jordan managed my legal aspects with candor, speed and an eye for detail. He is an expert in his field at what feels like a discounted rate.

Thorough and Knowledgeable

I was in need of legal advice on a short deadline. Mr. New jumped in, asked pertinent questions, and produced exactly what I needed, when I needed it. He was efficient and very fair with his fees. I have recommended Mr. New to many others and will continue to do so.

Very fair and reliable attorney

Posted by

When I needed a prenup done, Jordan listened very carefully and addressed all of my concerns, and answered all of my questions throughout the process. His rate was way beyond fair, and any other attorney would have raked me over for all the unforeseen issues and added tasks that popped up. He is extremely personable and easy to reach. I highly recommend his services. Like many that have been through the various legal avenues, I'm not very fond of attorneys as a group, Ha! But I would trust him every time for any future family law services!

I appreciated his calm and caring approach during this difficult process. He showed a keen instinct and quickly evaluated information and made decisive actions during the hearing. I appreciate the outstanding representation in my family law case.

Family Law Lawyer Extrodinaire

Little did I know that when I hired Jordan New as my lawyer he would become one of the most important people in my life and my kids’ lives. I will eternally be grateful to him for being our advocate. He has been an incredible lawyer who has successfully navigated us through an incredibly difficult divorce (both legally and emotionally). He has won legal battle after legal battle with a finesse that demonstrates his natural gift for the law. I am so grateful for his ability to stay calm in the midst of the highest emotion. Jordan’s legal writing is breathtaking as well. He has a keen ability to integrate both straightforward and nuanced arguments into documents that present extremely compelling stories to the court. More than once have his briefs brought tears to my eyes as I read the words he wrote protecting my kids and me. I can depend on him to guide me to take the right actions when decisions have to be made both quickly and long-term. I would never hesitate to recommend Jordan New as a lawyer. He is worth his weight in gold.

Thorough and Honest

Posted by

I sincerely appreciated the honesty and candor Jordan gave me. While trying to clean up the wreckage of my past, Jordan was an intrical part of that. While I didn't always like his answers, they were honest and upfront. In short, a very good man, and great attorney. Anyone who is privileged enough to hire Jordan will not be disillusioned, and will know first hand just what a great attorney he is. Kuddos Jordan!

Michael Schmidt, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 14, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Jordan and I both started out as Deputy District Attorneys in one of the busiest offices in the state, Multnomah County. It was common for attorneys in our position to have multiple trials per week, sometimes 3-4. Jordan had an impeccable trial record and a sterling reputation. Since leaving the District Attorney's office Jordan has broadened his area of practice handling family law and medical malpractice. I've known Jordan for over 7 years now, and I can say with confidence that his work and professionalism are of a very high quality.

Richard Oberdorfer
