Newsome O'Donnell, Llc

I have recommended a few people to Carmen Diaz-Duncan, who was my attorney a few years back. It's hard not to find someone more caring and professional

This firm doesn’t even deserve 1 Star! I had the worst experience with this firm. They over charged me on everything compared to my husbands attorney and they did very little for my case and in fact gave me a horrible custody agreement which was pretty much all they accomplished. My lawyer was Ed ODonnell so perhaps the others are decent but I had a Very bad experience with that man and had to switch attorneys in the midst of my divorce which was the best decision I made. He is very good About charging though! That is his specialty and he charges a lot of money for a lack of his time/advice/work.

The only reason I'm giving 1 star is because that is the only way to get the review to post. Do not hire this firm. I hired Newsome O'Donnell for a child support modification motion and gave them a retainer of $5,000. Once they had my money, I was ignored - emails not responded too etc. More than 1 month went by with no response and no word from Lynn Newsome, who was my attorney. Ultimately, I had to discharge this firm for inaction and unresponsiveness. It took them a month to return my money and that was accompanied by an invoice for approximately $1500. Not a single piece of paper was ever filed with any court. I letter to negotiate with my ex-husband was never written. I did not leave with even a consistent legal advice on my case. Now, 4-months later, I'm trying to get my money back and being ignored.

I had a consultation with one of the partners and felt heard and taken care of. I was provided with clear action steps in a high conflict custody matter. It was a positive experience.
