Excellent Attorney

In the last few years I have dealt with multiple attorneys and I find Carl Moeller Newman to be very trustworthy and extremely responsive . Any email I sent to him was answered within hours , no phone call was left unreturned . My case has been very complicated and when you deal with case that affect...s every aspect of your life you tend to be very emotional and sometimes frustrated . Carl was very patient and understanding and took time explaining all the aspects of the case and various approaches to my legal issues. While in court , Carl was very knowledgeable and eloquent. I was sad when Carl left the DVC but I know that he is helping somebody else now.

"I worked with Carl on a variety of federal criminal defense matters under the Criminal Justice Act regarding white collar fraud. Carl is a quick study and writes exceptionally well. While he is knowledgable in procedure and constitutional law, he also knows when to ask questions. It has always been a pleasure working with him."

Family lawyer | Oct 30

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Carl is a brilliant lawyer and a wonderful person. Even though he was a newer attorney when he worked for me, he hit the ground running. Carl knows the law forwards and backwards. Carl is also a very relaxed and easy going person who gets along with everyone. We will miss him. Carl's public interest clients should know how lucky they are. They are have one of the best lawyers available representing them."

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.
