David Martin Newman

There is a lot I could say about the wonderful experience I've had while working with David but the reviews speak for themselves. First of all, I have NEVER experienced such superb communication, starting with the initial consultation and ending with my rights being restored. Throughout the entire p...rocess I knew exactly when the petition was filed, when it was reviewed, when it was signed, sent off to various agencies for updates, etc., et. I have never waited more than half a day for a response to any of my inquiries or concerns. Having had a colorful past, having spent so much time and effort cleaning up the wreckage, I was very concerned and involved, yet David and his firm always made me feel as if I was their priority.... THAT to me is priceless. Because of a misdemeanor conviction almost 20 years ago, my Second Amendment rights were taken away. 4 months ago I called David and today I have my CPL and have made, and was approved for my first purchase. David thank you and your team for being so wonderful and making an otherwise rigorous process seem so seamless!

Mr. Newman offered expert consultation and review of my firearms rights restoration case. I accepted a deferred dismissal in A 10 year old California DV case. While not barring me in California, Washington law prohibited me from possesing a firearm. This was a surprise to me, as I had purchased sever...al firearms in California. I researched Washington law and spok3 to three other attorneys. Another "google" attorney who supposedely specializes in this field heard the word California and basically refused my case and would not even let me speak. She said "it's a CA problem". Some specialist. Mr. Newman spoke with me, listened to my circumstances, and explained the process. He reviewed the CA case, researched my eligibility for restoration, and advised me the enitire way. He was available throughout the process and always provided the answers I was needed. Not just an expert in his field but, a true gentleman. And of course once reviewing my eligibility, delivered the results he promised. I was able to purchase a pistol legally. I would recommend Mr. Newman highly to anyone.

My legal issues involved an incomplete criminal history record with the Washington State Patrol’s database and the loss of my rights to own a firearm dating back to a 1983 felony offense. I received a deferred sentence and in 1985 my “Guilty” plea was reversed to “Not Guilty.” When I attempted to p...urchase a firearm, the NICS system denied the transaction and I was informed that the State of Washington needed to restore my rights to own a firearm, which seemed like a daunting task since I now live in Texas. I reached out to the Rainier Law group from the positive reviews that I found for David Newman. We spoke on the phone and I answered his questions. He reported that I would not need to travel to Washington State. David kept me informed through every step of the process. He also emailed me with regular updates and copies of emails and court filings. Though over 2,000 miles away, I never felt uninformed through the entire process. David’s professionalism resulted in the updating of my criminal history records and the restoring of my rights to own a firearm. I highly recommend David Newman and most appreciate the service he provided me.

I found the Rainier Law group via a web search, I needed an expert and accomplished attorney to restore my firearms rights due to an issue going back more than 30 years. Doing due diligence via law review sites and various search engines returned many favorable responses concerning David M. Newman a...nd his Law Office, so I decided to contact him. And am I glad I did… Our brief phone conversation was professional, on topic and to the point… Mr. Newman answered all of my questions in a very helpful and easy to understand manner. Although we never even met (I live on one side of the state and his office is on the other), I decided to contract with his office for the legal services I needed. Throughout the process Mr. Newman kept me informed of every move forward, gave me clear options whenever a decision was required, and was available via email whenever I had question. In actually a shorter time frame than he had suggested it would take, he lead the process to a successful outcome, and I never even had to appear in court. Based on my experience, I highly recommend the Rainier Law Group.
