An extremely thankful client.

Words can not begin to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for Eric Newman and his amazing work on our case. His opening and closing statements were nothing short of brilliant. And his thoughtful approach to a complex case and protracted litigation led to a fair and just decision.

Posted by Sue | April 13, 2012 | Lawsuits & Disputes

excellent attorney

Eric represented me in a long-term neighbor dispute. I was impressed with his consummate professionalism, and especially his sincere interest in making sure I understood what was happening and why. Eric combines brilliant legal strategy with common sense, resulting in successful resolution of his cas...es.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
