Amazing Job

I’d highly recommend Jazmin newton and her team. They did an amazing job with both my custody battles. Very knowledgeable, helpful and always quick to respond to any question I had. They make sure your up to date on everything going on with your case and make sure you understand what’s going on and what’s steps to take next. Jazmin newton is hands down the best lawyer around and I'm glad I chose her and her team to represent me in the courtroom. she an absolute beast in the court room and goes above and beyond in court. Her cross examination had my opposing side speechless and at loss for words and even a few lies told. she made sure she got her point across, and everyone was on the same page. My baby momma ended up settling outside of court and understanding her rights. so, if you don’t want to end up on the wrong side hire this amazing team of woman before your ex reads this and does.

Highly Recommend

Jazmin represented my brother, and won him joint custody of his son, in a lengthy parenting time battle, with the mother of his child. My brother went into this battle with only getting to see his son every other weekend, once during the week and interchanging holidays. However, the mother of his child did withhold the child on countless occasions, which is what prompted him to seek legal representation and to take her back to court. Jazmin was very strategic with her game plan on how she was going to handle this case. She had the right amount of aggressiveness and paid attention to detail, which ultimately lead her to a HUGE win for my brother and his son! My brother, his son, myself and our family are very thankful for her and for the future that she had a hand in creating for my nephew. We only get so much time on this earth and my nephew being able to have his dad in his life is priceless! I know God was on my brothers side and justice was served, we HIGHLY recommend Jazmin.

Professional & Knowledgeable

Jazmin was highly recommended by an old co-worker. So glad he did because she was just what my aunt needed for her divorce! She is professional, kind, honest, extremely knowledgeable and when needed, very funny! She can see through bull**** and can probably smell it a mile away. My aunt says that everyone at the firm was very kind and prompt as well. I will recommend her to everyone who is in need of her services. She’s an irecracker in the courtroom! Thank you all for standing by my aunt during her very difficult time!

Above and Beyond

Jazmin was amazing at fighting an uphill battle for me. I had previously been misrepresented by a local attorney before being referred to Newton-Butt Law. She went above and beyond in working my case, even working some very late nights with/for me.  Jazmin did a great job of explaining things to me. She didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear, but often explained details of the worst and the best-case scenarios, so outcomes did not surprise me. Additionally, Jazmin was easy to talk to. Even when legal jargon got hard, Jazmin made sure I understood what was going on. We faced an unprofessional attorney, but Jazmin always remained professional. It was because of Jazmin that I came out on top when I felt like I was the underdog. Thank you, Jazmin!

Absolutely Amazing

I would highly recommend Jazmin to anyone seeking legal help. I just finished my divorce/custody case with her and she was absolutely amazing. I previously had my case worked on by a different attorney in town. I ended up stopping the proceedings and waited a long time to attempt to finish my case because I was so upset with the services I had previously received. I was left feeling like my case was not important and feeling quite hopeless at times. When I started to work with Jazmin I immediately knew the experience was going to be different. She was very thorough and up front with me every step of the process. She is always honest with you even if it’s not what you want to hear so she knows you are prepared every step. My case was difficult and would not be finished if it wasn’t for her help. She was able to help me get the outcomes I was hoping for and most importantly got what was best for my son. She is truly one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her office staff are very friendly as well and are always willing to answer your questions when needed. Everybody in the office gave me such a different experience I feel truly blessed to have found them.
