I had the privilege' of retaining Pat to represent my case. There were many complicated pension and property issues involved. Pat's experience in these matters proved invaluable in slicing through difficult issues. She brings a wealth of knowledge and resources to the table. If there is an area where we needed additional experts she has a great deal of contacts in specialized fields (QUADRO, Actuary... ) to draw from. She knows the players in the field and is aware of how an opposing council may utilize a particular resource. Ultimately this case was settled and I would recommend Pat for any family law needs.

Better late than never. I was cleaning out my desk procrastinating any way possible to keep from jumping into my taxes. When I ran across my Divorce file from 2005. Patricia A Newman handled my divorce and it was a pleasure to work with a person with her level of professionalism. She out maneuvered the opposing Attorney a every juncture and we attained a conclusion better than I ever thought possible. I called Patricia and told her how I appreciated her hard work all those years ago. She was a little overwhelmed but I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I hope this review is of some help to some poor chap that is in that dark place that I was in so many years ago.

Patricia knows her stuff. Insights into the local system and specific judges are invaluable, as well as her intellect in approaching cases.

My case was literally referred to by the judge and his assistant as "the case that would never end." I was referred to Pat by a very close friend. He said to me, "listen to her, because I didn't and lost custody of my kids." My friend was referred to Pat because "Pat was the opposing council and she completely destroyed my attorney." Pat defended me against my former wife on a number of issues; custody, bogus restraining order(s), DHS involvement, spousal support termination, attorney fees, a baseless appeal and mediation just to name a few. In the end, Pat won everything, even full attorney fees. In the judge's final judgement, he scolded my former wife and her attorney for their behavior and "reckless" use of the family protection act among other things too long to mention. In closing, I have referred Pat several times and will continue to do so. She leaves no stone unturned and will fight for her client until justice is served. Do yourself a favor and look no further than Pat because no one will represent you the way she will.

Patricia was a calming voice of reason. She understands how to navigate the court system and knows many of the personnel by name throughout. Excellent at creating a game plan and executing efficiently. Highly recommended.

My divorce would be Hell if it wasn't for Patricia. It was difficult case since my X is self-employed , Pat rocked it all the way ... no matter what my X threw my way she handled it in my BEST interest .... she was my rock to the end .... Thank you Pat again .... as always you are Best of the Best .

Nobody likes to hear the words "I am in love with another woman" especially not after 17 years of marriage. Pat was such a solid voice of reason for me at a tough and very emotional time. She was just the right amount of smart, tough and compassionate. I consider myself very lucky to have had her on my team. She knows her stuff and was good at presenting things as a lay person could understand. I truly felt through the whole process she genuinely cared about me and getting an outcome I would be happy with. She succeeded and was very fairly priced as well. She gets high recommendations from me!

My divorce was a very difficult case as there was domestic violence involved, but nothing Patricia Newman couldn't handle. Before I hired her, I had lost all hope that I would win custody and that my ex's parenting time would be reduced so I would know and have peace of mind that my child was safe. Patricia really became my crusader and helped me stand up to my ex when I felt too afraid. She really cared about the safety of, not only my son, but for me as well. Needless to say, I not only won my case but I got far more than I had asked for. If you’re going through a divorce where there is domestic violence involved, Patricia Newman is VERY well versed and knows how to handle these types of cases. I have recommended her to several people going through similar situations and will continue to recommend her in the future.

I cannot give enough praise for Patricia Newman. I had given up all hope in obtaining equal visitation to see my child and she delivered! If you want someone who will fight for you, she is the one for you. She doesn't sit idly by. She is very informative, active, and listens to your input and opinions. But more importantly she is honest and won't let you say or do anything emotional that can damage your case. She will keep you level headed at a time when you need to be! YOU will not regret hiring her as your attorney!

I cannot say enough about Pat Newman and how she handled my divorce. She brought me out of this mess with the least possible damage – and it could very well have been a disaster for the rest of my life had she not been as skilled, professional, knowledgeable, and tough as she is -- she knows her stuff! She is able to analyze a situation with broad thinking and looks at every possible angle. This was a nasty case where I would, in all likelihood, have been paying spousal support INDEFINITELY (I did consult other attorneys) even though the marriage was only 12 years in duration and we had no children together. But Pat was tenacious in her work -- she will not accept the status quo when she advocates for her clients. Thanks to her creativity and high expectations, we were able to reach a settlement that saved me thousands, and most importantly, has allowed me to go on with my life untethered. She definitely proved to me that she can and will deliver.

Patricia Newman represented me against my son's father in a very nasty custody battle. She's hardworking, diligent, extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in her area of expertise. I feel blessed each night when I put my young son to bed that I was referred to her. Pat was available to me nearly always and when she wasn't available she'd get back to me within the same business day. Pat seems to pour her heart into her work and seems to enjoy what she does. She never made me feel inadequate for asking questions, sometimes the same question repeatedly. I found her to be friendly and honest, which is hard to find. She prepared me for worst case scenario, yet remained optimistic and kept me feeling positive as well. I highly recommend Pat Newman to anyone in need of assistance. When other issues arouse in my case that was not her area of expertise she referred me to the appropriate attorneys necessary to satisfy all areas of legal work that were necessary in my life due to the separation from my child's father. After my son's father hired an attorney of his own, she was extremely professional in the manner in which she dealt with his attorney. Pat was also very professional in dealing with doctors that became involved in our case that were less than accommodating and quite frankly difficult to deal with, yet she again maintained her professionalism. While waiting for appointments, I'd notice other clients leaving her office seeming as satisfied with her as I am. I pray I will never need her assistance again; however, if need be I wouldn't consider calling anyone BUT her. Pat's dedication to my case paid off and I have custody of my young son. If you're looking for an attorney that will work hard and give all of herself to your case do not hesitate contact Patricia Newman.

I was devastated when my wife walked out on me. I was also not completely rational, and would have been inclined to give away far more than I should have. Pat saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and probably saved my house. Thanks to her guidance and experience, I was able to make it through one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Pat was able to help me see things that I'm sure many other attorneys would have missed. (I interviewed several before hiring her.) Her attention to detail was amazing. Her understanding of complex financial and technical issues was exceptional. Her overall skill as an attorney is outstanding. She allowed me to complete the process and retain my dignity; a difficult accomplishment in such a toxic environment. I cannot say enough about her; she was truly an excellent advocate.
