Reviews
My elderly father hired Atty. Newborn to resolve a breach of a verbal agreement between himself and his son where his son took a significant amount of money not owed to him after the sale of my fathers property. Atty. Newborns assistant Isaiah researched case law due to the nature of this particular incident and along with other factors in this case helped my father *win* his case. Atty. Newborn and the office personnel were always professional. Our calls were returned if we had questions and my father was kept current about case progression. *The down side to this case, which has nothing to do with Atty. Newborn who did a fantastic job, is that my father will probably never recover his money because the COURT SYSTEM/LAWS do not protect the victim/plaintiff from defendants who liquidate assets to avoid liens or collection of payment and or disappear prior to the case being decided in court. How does a victim recover his stolen money from the unscrupulous defendant? Something to think about if pursuing a defendant in a civil case where money is involved. These laws need to be changed to protect the victims. Yes my father won which is great - but on paper only.
Tenant -landlord dispute Mr.Newborn is highly proffesional , informative and available for questions. Mr.Newborn won our case and we would highly reccomend him to anyone!Thank you Doug for your help
I asked mr. Newborn a few questions about an auto accident that was minor but anyways I did what he suggested an a few days later I got a check from the insurance . Thank u
He helped me out and guided me to a better solution. Will recommend him to many. Awesome job Douglas!!
Knowledgeable and prompt response to this situation Landlord/tenant
He makes a painful situation easy to live with thank you for your patience
Mr. Newborn provided important information and support when I called him (upon referral by the PCBA LRS) regarding a bad last-minute situation in my potential purchase of a house. He confirmed my legal rights with normal layperson's terms and an understanding approach. A few days later, I hired him to send a letter ASAP to the parties concerned. He responded with unusual timeliness, and the excellent letter which clearly stated the relevant facts of the matter and my legal rights went out just a short time after our phone consultations about it. This may not always be able to be the case, but it revealed that he knew, and cared, that time is of the essence in this particular case. I don't yet know what the outcome may be! But if successful, I'm sure that Mr. Newborn's expertise and straightforward presentation deserve the credit. If unsuccessful, well, I know he wrote the best possible letter and there was just no way that the other party would comply as per the law stated to them. Of course I hope to receive good news soon, and have a successful outcome re the house purchase scheduled in just 3 days. We shall soon see. Thank you, Mr. Newborn, for being a GOOD lawyer!
I contacted Mr. Newborn via email asking if an estaot worth 40,000 was subject to probate. He answered my question immediately. Nadine
Regardless of my finances presently Mr Newborn took the time to review my semi-detailed description of a looming financial disaster and wrote back of a general plan getting from today to when I can reasonably expect to have the funds to initiate filing for bankruptcy. He also kept his door open by allowing me to send him pertinent information along the way. Mr. Newborn is interested in professional lasting results. I've met some attorneys who are interested in the quickest route to their next pay ~ Mr Newborn is not like that.
Doug is an excellent attorney! Very knowledgeable and hard working. Responds very quickly to emails and phone calls. Doug will definitely fight for you and get any issue resolved. Thank you for your service
