Reviews
I was extremely lucky to be represented by Kim Newton. Besides being a smart attorney who is very knowledgeable and resourceful, Kim is an amazing person whose supportive communication gave me a huge confidence in myself while going through a very stressful time. Kim always took her time to thoroughly research the details of my case and respond to opposing counsel in direct and undoubted way. She was always ready to discuss any questions I had regarding my case. The outcome of my case was very satisfying and it is all thanks to Kim’s efforts and her professional skills. I would highly recommend Kim Newton as an outstanding attorney.

Kim was a human first, lawyer second. She was empathetic to my situation, and laid out everything in terms that I could understand.”
Former Client – August 2020, Yelp Review
Even after everything was said and done, she checked up on me, wishing me well. I truly wish I could describe how phenomenal Kim is, but I can’t even begin to scratch the surface.
