5-STAR REVIEW
I have had the privilege of consulting with Ms. Newman on two different occasions, on a personally difficult issue. Ms. Newman is easy to build a relationship of trust with. The first time we met, I had sent her a large file on a morning when she was to be in court for the day. She graciously met with me that evening after 5:OO PM, and by that time she had found time to read everything I had sent her, and was so knowledgeable that she put me at ease right away. She is very thorough and professional in her work, and when she is discussing your case with you, she puts things in terms that are easily understood, and therefore she really helps to light the way, and point one in the right direction! I am very grateful for her assistance and support, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs legal counsel in the area of Labor and Employment.

Professionalism. I contacted several different attorneys before speaking with Ms. Newman. The other attorneys turned my case away. Ms. Newman, on the otherhand was confident justice would prevail, and it did. I cannot thank you enough!

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value, Amazing experience! It can be extremely scary going against an employer, but Annette Newman is the BEST choice for legal counsel. When I was in a battle with my previous employer, Annette was in my corner every step of the way. I don't where I would be without her. I highly recommend!

"Attorney Annette Newman was great to work with. She followed through with promises and followed up with correspondence. She represented me in an EEOC discrimination case against a former employer and having her knowledge and calming presence on my team was invaluable. Attorney Newman was able to answer all of my questions, providing me with accurate information and strategic intelligence every step of the way. I was very confident about my EEOC mediation as it unfolded almost exactly as Attorney Newman indicated it would. I can go on and on about my experience but I think that the title sums it up. Attorney Newman is not only a Professional to the highest order but she is a very experienced Employment Attorney and I would highly recommend using her services."

AWESOME ATTORNEY
"I hired Ms.Newman to assist me with an EEOC complaint against my employer. Ms. Newman was prompt, effecient and offered a reasonable flat fee for her service. Ms. Newman went the extra mile and continued to assist me throughout the entire EEOC process which resulted into an extended period of time of one year more than our anticipated agreement. Ms. Newman's representation resulted in a positive outcome for me. My employment was reinstated and our initial contract agreement was satisfied. Ms. Newman has high integrity and is a woman of her word. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for any LEGAL ASSISTANCE."

Annette Newman for your Unemployment Compensation Attorney
"Annette Newman is an educated attorney and very knowledgable. I found that her experience from working in the workforce for many years was why I chose Annette Newman to represent me with the unemployment appeal that I needed representation with. From working as a District Director and years of Management she knew the employment laws so she had all that knowledge and went a step further to better her career as a Lawyer. In my opinion Annette Newman is a very Professional Attorney. I hope I won't need an attorney again but if I do her loyalty will bring me back to her."
