Most professional attorney i have met

I had incidents in my past life over 20 years ago. I met with several attorneys but there was always something that didn't feel right. I finally looked up several websites and found Mr. Newman and decided I would try one more time, it was the best decision I made, he was overly patient and explained ...the process perfectly, every time I had a question and called in he would always take my call and answer all my concerns. He worked on my case before I even hired him and spent his time on my case and always gave it to me straight, he even recommended what not to do, even though it meant he was not going to make any money from me even after working on the case "on his own time". David is the true meaning of what an attorney should be and represents the best in Washington; He is not in it for the money, he is in it for the people, even if you don't become his client, he will always try and help. I would recommend him 100% to anyone looking for an honest and professional experienced attorney. Thank you Mr. Newman for making it easier on me during this difficult episode of my life. Be blessed!!

Best experience I've had with an attorney

Unfortunately in my lifetime I've made enough poor choices that I've come in contact with a handful of different attorneys in a few different fields that have represented me. Most have been fine, one or two I'd probably avoid in the future, and then David. David has just set the bar as high as one co...uld expect in his area of law. From the very beginning he spoke with knowledge on my topic and with a level of professionalism that is rare these days. He was able to differentiate his services from his competitions without bad mouthing them, another rare trait in this industry. He was honest with my situation and set realistic goals. He met all of them and exceeded my expectations on time and with the honesty to refund a few dollars that were left over when he accomplished what he said he would. A complete restoration of my firearm rights that MANY MANY attorneys had told me wasn't possible. If you have been told no by others please call David before accepting that answer. If he says he can't you're probably sunk but if there is ANY way it can legally be done, David is your man. David, thanks again for restoring my rights and allowing me a second opportunity I didn't think I'd ever get again. A job very well done indeed.

Gun rights restoration with special circumstnace

From the very first call to the completion of my firearm rights restoration, Mr. Newman exceeded my expectations of: communication, responsiveness, and professionalism. My case was not a normal firearms restoration case; I was original cited as a felon in possession of a firearm because my rights wer...e not restored and my lack of information on my current firearm status. This was very alarming considering that a felon in possession of a firearm has a mandatory five year sentence. I immediately got on the internet, started my research and called lawyers. The incident happened on Saturday, and I started calling lawyers on Monday. The responses I got to my case were across the board, from: “You’re pretty much screwed” to “You got nothing to worry about.” The later responses were reassuring; however, most did not come with a plan on how I should not worry. Then I called the Rainier Law Firm and spoke to Mr. David M. Newman, and he was courteous and listened to my case. He immediately recognized the potential severity of my situation and laid out a plan on how to alleviate my situation. I’m sure Mr. Newman had larger cases and with greater concern, but he made me feel that my case was his top priority, not only through communications, but through actions and consistent updates on my case status. His rates for my case were very reasonable, even before the unexpected refund! My experience with Mr. Newman has been exceptionally awesome, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in the same situation.

Gun Rights Restoration

I would highly recommend David Newman to anyone who has their gun rights revoked. (in fact I already have) At our first meeting he outlined in detail the procedure, timeline and different scenarios that may effect the outcome. His retainer was more than fair and he accomplished my restoration rights ...well within the timeline he had originally proposed, There were left over funds from the restoration retainer which was promptly returned. He kept me very informed throughout the process and answered all my questions as they arose. He knows the procedure very well and had every answer to any questions I had asked. His billing was concise and very detailed and very easy to understand. I saw where all my retainer funds went and had no questions. I have hired several attorneys in the past and I was leery that if I had a question I had would be billed for his answer. Not the case here. He is what all attorneys should be. Fair, honest, trustworthy, professional and extremely qualified. If anyone needs their gun rights restored, David Newman is the one. Highly recommended. If needed I would without doubt hire him again. rw
