Why Choose Us

There are many criminal defense firms to choose from. Some may be cheaper, while others may make grand promises of verdicts or inside connections. At The Law Offices of John P. Newton we prefer to represent your interests with exceptional skill and creative strategy, rather than false promises and hidden fees.

Communication

Your calls will be returned as soon as possible by an attorney who is knowledgeable about your case. We will always keep you updated, and will continuously revise your options as the situation changes.

Promises

No attorney can promise you a "not guilty" verdict. Sadly, there are some who will promise definite outcomes, hoping to turn a quick profit at their clients' expense. We will never make promises that we cannot keep. You can expect us to defend you zealously,  and to aggressively pursue the best possible outcome.

Connections

Like many criminal defense attorneys, we have personal ties within some DA's offices. When used properly these connections can help convince a prosecutor to stop and listen to reason. However, political pressure and an active news media tend to ensure that these ties do not improperly influence cases. Attorneys who claim anything else will simply add to your legal problems, and to their fees.

Fee

There is nothing more expensive than a bad attorney. We do not charge bargain basement fees, however, we are not in the business of price gauging our clients either. We will charge a reasonable fee based on the complexity of your case and the stakes attached to your circumstances. You will understand all of your fees up-front after your free consultation.
