By putting a good experience on a new home closing

What an incredible law firm. They have worked tirelessly with me for 10 years to meet any legal need my clients have. Julian Robb is amazing and so are all the other attorneys in this office. Whatever your needs, this is the firm for you!!!

Always friendly smiling faces ready to greet and help. Everyone at CJL&W makes clients and referral partners feel valued and appreciated. Thanks for all the support!

Nice

Hired for real estate purposes, to close on two properties. I was told $300 flat fee for each. Went fairly well, seemed professional. At the completion of the first deal, I was given a bill for $400 and was told no no no we cant do it for $300 sorry we lied. The second deal was a little more complicated and required communication with the estates lawyer. THIS IS WHEN IT FELL APART. ABSOLUTELY A NIGHTMARE TO GET A HOLD OF, RETURN PHONE CALLS TAKE WEEKS, I ENDED UP DOING MOST OF THE MINIMAL WORK, MAKING THE 30 SECOND PHONE CALLS BETWEEN LAWYERS LIKE A GAME OF TELEPHONE IN KINTERGARDEN, TO KEEP THINGS MOVING FORWARD. I would not recommend. Untrustworthy, unprofessional and as a business man who uses lawyers frequently, I am in shock of the complete lack of communication and disregard for there clients. ZERO STARS! What a waste of my time!

Our Experience with Lawson was that he was: Very unaccessible, unprepared and arrogant. He had our case for 8 months and did virtually nothing but bill us. We were in danger of losing our home to a civil suite and after 8 months he had done no discovery/interrogatories, no depositions, no research or citing of case law or case prep. It was very upsetting and extremely stressful for us unnecessarily because we were constantly in the dark, we could rarely get in touch with him because he was very often out of town refereeing basketball games, golfing or in the Cayman Islands. Routinely his office could not even get in touch with him. He constantly shot from the hip and arrogantly touted to us and even the judge during a hearing (where he also misrepresented the facts of our case) about his 34 years of experience. As far as our case was concerned he only made our bad situation worse by his total lack of concern and preparation and his egotistical attitude. For us it was an expensive and stressful nightmare. So, much so that we had to fire him and find a new attorney. We are very upset and disappointed by our experience with Lawson Newton and I would not recommend him for any litigation.
