Friendly and very helpful

Ms. Newman provided me guidance and support during a very difficult time in my life. With her assistance I was able to come to a much better agreement with my former employer. The fees for her service was very reasonable. I hope to never go through this sort of situation again but if I do, I would no... doubt ask for her assistance again. Thank you for everything Ms. Newman!!

Honest, Hard Working, Listens, and Empowering

Ms Newman has the compassion, knowledge and drive of no other attorney I’ve met. She took my case knowing it would not be easy. She guided me through the whole process, helping me make all the right decisions while empowering me, a women and a new mom, to rise up for what’s right. Ms. Newman is profe...ssional and prompt when it comes to communication. She is so intelligent and well informed about employment law she really makes you feel at ease. All in all I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Ms Newman for any of your legal needs.

Excellent!

I am SO glad I found Elizabeth (Liza). She truly felt like a friend of our family. She was always available, very responsive and extremely patient. She is very knowledgeable in her area of expertise (employment law) - which is VERY important when you're dealing with a legal system that isn't always e...asy to navigate (to say the least). Going through a lawsuit is so scary. I know I would not have made it out the other side without Liza's guidance and support. She was a beacon of hope during a very difficult time. My family and I are eternally grateful for her service and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Liza without ANY reservations!

Wonderful Professional: Knowledgable, Accessible, Expert

Ms. Newman is a wonderful attorney. She was able to make a very complex, emotional and long process not just understandable, but she empowered me to make decisions and choices that were best for me. Ms. Newman made the points of law that applied to my case understandable and was invested in my unde...rstanding what was going on so that I was comfortable with the steps we took. She brought her experience and the experience of FMR to the discussions in a way that was very helpful and clarifying. Every time I had a question or was unsure about the case she was patient and confident in her explanations without being dismissive or overbearing. We prevailed in my case and I am 100% positive that is because of her attention to detail, knowledge and ability to work with both sides. Ms. Newman was always responsive and available and made a difficult and stressful situation as easy as is possible. What a great professional!

Harassment and Discrimination in the Workplace

Liza was very empathetic, personable, and direct with me about my case. She was professional and knowledgeable In regards to the rules and guidelines for employment law. Liza was always available if I had questions or concerns. If she didn’t answer her phone she was very prompt with return calls.... She made me feel comfortable in a difficult situation. I’m forever thankful and will always consider Liza a friend. I highly recommend her for any employment law situations.

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.
