Darth was thorough and strategic throughout our case. He kept us updated and responded quickly to emails, regardless of the time of day. He made sure we were fully prepared for mediation and firmly advocated for us during the process. He helped us reach a settlement for the full amount owed to us, plus a portion of attorney fees. Would absolutely recommend.Posted on Google![]()

In 2021 I signed a poorly written contract with my partner that put me in a bad negotiating position. Darth was not only able to help me understand the actual circumstances of my position, he was also able to help develop and think through a favorable strategy. He had knowledge that can only come from experience as a successful litigator. He never painted a rosey picture of the situation, but did offer alternatives that allowed us to build a winning strategy. One of the best and final catches was to ensure the new contract would dissolve the old contract even if it was breached. I have no hesitation recommending Darth Newman if you are in a bad contract or need a successful way out of a hard and valuable business dispute.Posted on Google![]()

After having a very difficult time finding anyone to help answer my questions about an investigation I got caught up in, he not only gave me advice despite it not being his are of expertise, but also found someone for me to contact with decades of experience in the type of case I was involved with. He even contacted that lawyer to give a handoff of the specifics so my time with my lawyer was more streamlined. You won't regret reaching out to him!Posted on Google![]()

Recently, a nonprofit organization in which I am a board member encountered several serious issues relating to one of our members. Stressed and frustrated, attorney Newman’s involvement was nothing short of transformative. His engagement served as the turning point that led to a more peaceful and thoughtful resolution. By clearly articulating the profound implications regarding the situation —including the potential for lifetime suspension to the opposong party —he brought critical clarity to a tense situation. In essence, they quickly realized that it was in their best interest to cease and desist certain ongoing activity and cooperate. Attorney Newman not only helped the board reach a more informed and responsible path forward in resolving the situation, but also provided my family with a deep sense of reassurance during an incredibly difficult time. His integrity and unwavering commitment made an immeasurable difference, and I will remain deeply grateful for his counsel and presence throughout.Posted on Google![]()
