About

Let my experience as both a defense attorney and prosecutor give you peace of mind.After I graduated cum laude from Boston University School of Law, I took a position at a national firm in Boston, Goodwin Proctor, LLP. My role there was as a complex commercial litigator and it gave me the opportunity to build a defense for several of our nation's largest companies.My career then took me to New York City where I worked as an Assistant District Attorney (ADA). After prosecuting thousands of cases, I moved back to the area where my career began. I accepted an ADA position with the District Attorney’s office in Boston, was subsequently promoted to a Supervisor ADA, and later served as a NH State Police prosecutor.I have since opened The Newton Law Firm where I provide 5-star service to clients just like you.

I retained David for representation on a restraining order and subsequent magistrate hearing. David was excellent in both situations resulting in favorable judgements. David has terrific experience with the local courts and knows the key players. He’s very attentive and does a great job explaining the situation, options and potential outcomes.

David is AMAZING! He surpassed what I thought a lawyer could be. He made sure that I was not stressing out and was very professional. It was easy to tell he knew what he was doing, he has lots of experience. He was very diligent and precise and made sure I was happy before he moved forward with anything.

David is an former Marine which tells you a great deal about his abilities as an attorney, and a person. He is tough, but also smart, and cares about his clients. David wants the best outcome he can possibly achieve for the individuals he represents. He is very accessible, always quickly responding to questions and concerns. He has great attention to detail, which is important because the little things can come back to you as major obstacles later in life. David is approachable and honest in terms of what you can expect and what is achievable in the court of law. I am thankful I had his help during my divorce. He made a very difficult situation less painful because of his expertise.

I reached out to Attorney Newton after learning I had a summons to appear as a defendant in an upcoming harassment prevention order hearing. This claim was part of an ongoing divorce, that has been contentious and extremely stressful for going over 2 years. Dave was able to work on short notice and get the case dismissed with less than a week to prepare for the hearing. Not only did Attorney Newton provide me with the court hearing result I needed, he also gave me hope that the court & legal system eventually favors the good people and all this will be behind me soon. Dave's knowledge of case law and how it applied to my ongoing dispute/divorce proceedings was second to none. He was able to sort through 2 years of history very quickly and come up with a winning strategy that was direct, simple, and put the burden back on the plaintiff.

Dave is a good guy and a good lawyer. He's a no-nonsense, straight shooter and I expected nothing less from an ex-Marine Veteran! He did me right and I'd hire him again in a heartbeat...but hopefully I won't have to! Semper Fi.

I found myself in a very difficult situation follow getting arrested and I was in a tight spot looking for help very quickly. David was fantastic! Very helpful, fully explained everything to me, was available very quickly, and relieved a lot of the anxiety I had about my situation. If you are looking for someone who is very professional but will also make you feel at ease about your situation I would highly recommend David Newton.

From the first time i told him my story, he made me comfortable / there was no judgment cast by him.. He listened and told me what and how things were going to... My experience with David will always be a 10... Thanks David for being there in every aspect. I owe you way more than you think... Thanks you..thanks you.

David was very helpful with my complicated situation for child support/ joint custody order. He is very attentive with the situation and was able to support me with my case with very little hassle on my end. Not to mention was more affordable than others I looked into. Very happy with my decision to hire him.

I had a temporary restraining order filed against me that was full of lies and exaggerated statements. David listened to my concerns, guided me through the process of preparing for the hearing, then handled himself with grace, kindness, and an obviously seasoned and skilled approach at the hearing. The order was dismissed. I felt the truth came out. I am so thankful for David's expertise and approach.

David is a excellent lawyer! He is very professional and handles each case very carefully and will not let you down. I was lucky years ago when I almost got a DUI and he was my court appointed lawyer, and let me tell you he is a shark, he will not let you down. This time I hired him and I'm telling you he is worth every penny you spend on him. Unlike most lawyers David has always ANSWERED my calls and responded too me very fast , even if he is in court he gets right back too you. I'm assuming most people like myself panick when the court system is involved but David makes you feel comfortable and walks you right through it. Hands down, you need someone too help you win you're case it's David.
