I have successfully worked with Atty. Newton in orchestrating an Operating Agreement to govern a partnership for my dental practice in Orlando. There have been other matters that have come up since then which have been completely and professionally resolved. I have always found Mr. Newton to be very knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely interested in an amicable outcome. I highly recommend Newton’s Law for their legal services. Richard C. Rampi, DMD
