I had an absolutely amazing experience with Erik. He is not only a competent lawyer but is a pleasure to work with. He gets what you need done, and more, with zero hassle or stress. I highly recommend placing your trust in him if you’re looking for a dental lawyer.

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
