Best Lawyer ever!

I briefly worked with Trisha Newman years ago when she was a public defender for juvenile court. Her depth of the law is astounding, and but watching her present her case and advocate for her clients was like poetry in motion. When I think about Trisha Newman's skills, I wonder if there were more... attorneys like her, how many innocent men and women who have served decades in prison could be free now had she represented them.

Thorough and Practical Counsellor

I am a practicing commercial attorney and had the pleasure of working opposite Trisha on a recent transaction. Though I was not her client, she made every effort to communicate and facilitate the negotiation, without compromising her own client's interests. She was able to keep the negotiation from b...ecoming adversarial, focusing on achieving a successful outcome for both parties.

Great attorney for small business owners and startups!

I am a fitness instructor who was recently started operating independently with very short notice. Although I had a very short lead time to get up and running, I wanted to do things correctly. I went to Ms. Newman to draft up a liability waiver and payment agreement for my clients. She worked quickly... on both the original drafts and revisions. She asked the right questions, answered mine, and gave me realistic and sound advice. I'm grateful to Ms. Newman for providing me with these much-needed legal documents and for the guidance she gave to help me get my business up and running!

New Business Client

My husband and I started a small business and used Trish Newman to help set up our corporation and handle copyright aspects. She was thorough, helpful, gave us the pros and cons as to which corp to use, and was able to break down the legalese to a level where we understood what we needed to do. She k...ept us up to date via email when paperwork was filed and when it was approved, which was great, as it helped us set up a "paper trail" for our own record keeping purposes. As our business continues, we will continue to utilize her services.

Great Attorney for a Startup!!

Trisha helped my business partner and I really get our corporate infrastructure in order. She has been crucial and prompt in handling our contractual documents with both clients and investors and has given us a peace of mind from day one. She is extremely responsive to our questions or concerns and w...hat she doesn't know she quickly figures out with the help of her extended network. I would tell anyone starting a new business to reach out to Trisha.
