Unfortunately I've had quite a few lawyers in my life for different reasons and George was definitely very professional and always did whatever he said he was going to do, always told me what to expect and ALWAYS answered my calls or returned them very quickly.. I have some horror stories with a few attorneys but I can honestly say that there isn't one bad thing that I could say about George.. hopefully I will never need him again but if so there's no doubt in my mind who I will be using!! Keep up the good work buddy
I was referred to George by a friend and I'm glad I was! I wasn't facing any great options but George guided me to the best possible solution for me and my family! I had talked to multiple attorneys and found his fee reasonable from the initial free consultation. His value to me got even better as he was always available to me and my family especially during the most stressful times! Thanks George!
Newman is the best ever. He saved my life in federal court. Was facing years in prison -- he walked me out.
Barrister George Newman is an experienced Attorney in Philadelphia and licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Attorney Newman did everything to protect my rights when the Government considered violating them. Mr. Newman was very explanatory through every process. His proper discreditation of charges made: and thorough litigation made all my problems go away. That simple. The fact that some people in Philadelphia would insult Mr. Newman makes us all "consider the source." I have known Mr. Newman for many years and he certainly went out of his way to protect me, my rights and my career path. Hire Attorney Newman. Joe , DDS, MD
My case is high profile and very complicated. I researched many attorneys for their specialty in ineffective counsel claims, many attorneys don’t like to handle cases against other attorneys, making my search for a great attorney that much more challenging. George Newman was recommended repeatedly in the circles I was investigating. When I initially spoke with Mr. Newman he was not on board with representing me. He informed me that he does not understandably take ineffective assistance of counsel lightly. He asked to review my case without any obligations before he made a decision. After reviewing my case Mr. Newman recognized the miscarriage of justice and would represent me. He worked tirelessly, returned all my calls—nights and weekends, he vetted all my witnesses, reviewed my case with me, and prepared me for my case. He was not afraid to challenge my prior attorney and in fact got him to agree to the facts of my claims. I did not get the outcome I sought, BUT that was not because Mr. Newman did not present an excellent case—UNFORTUNATELY as former Attorney General Eric Holder and President OBAMA said in the past, our system is seriously broken. The one CLEAR message I can impart throughout this entire process about Mr. Newman’s integrity is that he is brutally honest. He told me I had a strong case but nothing is guaranteed in this system. On more than one occasion he told me he did not want to take my money on subsequent appeals as the chances of winning are slimmer through each proceeding appellate process. That is priceless, he could have taken my money with ease, but he chose integrity and his reputation. In my 25 years as a law enforcement officer George Newman stands out as one of the few attorneys with impeccable work ethics. I have recommended Mr. Newman to others. You should as well.
Mr. Newman was an excellent attorney. He was always prepared and available whenever I needed to contact him His knowledge of the law was stellar and I felt very confident that he represented me to the best of his ability.
I hired Mr. Newman to represent my son on a felony charge. He was always available for consultation without billing me for every call and question - and the fee was quite fair. He just about performed a miracle, leading to the best outcome possible, one which was actually beneficial for my son. He is incredibly familiar with the legal system and able to work closely with the DA's office to ensure a fair outcome.
I won't stop stating my OPINION of this lawyer. Notice he responded to one review but thought it was me. Little attention to detail Neuman, I never fired you but wish I was smart as that person and found a more credible attorney. Since my review he has threatened with a defamation lawsuit. He, in my OPINION, is a joke and I can not recommend hiring him.
I hired George and he constantly harrased me for money but could never discuss any type of strategy. At trial it was clear he was unprepared. The DA was 100% prepared and made George look like a rookie. Im upset for not going with my first mind and firing him for a more competent attorney that wasnt preoccupied with his federal case. I would not recommend hiring him at all
I had to fire him, his strategy lacked merit and he seemed preoccupied with a federal case because that's all he mentioned every time I spoke with him.
