Newsome O'Donnell, LLC

One STAR is too many! Divorce is one of the worst things you can go through in your lifetime! You expect that your attorney will at least be in your corner. Lynn was the most abrasive, dismissive, and short tempered attorney's that I've ever worked with. She defiantly has a beef with men! The hourly $ rate was significant and she would put you off to her sub-standard assistant who made many errors in written documents. Lynn would never allow you to finish a sentence or thought without feeling the need to interrupt and make you feel stupid. I would urge anyone looking for a divorce attorney to stay away from this firm. CAUTION! BEWARE! DON'T DO IT!

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.

She will throw you under bus If advisory has council within Morris County. Does zero. States you will lose should you want to file b/c of noncompliance with orders on advisory’s side. Does not read a thing. Does not answer questions , but will attempt to use money in escrow b/c of courts order to pay anyone who asks. Just Do Not. Actually yells on phone because has no knowledge. Old boy network within Morris County that thank god for new judges will no longer be tolerated. Enjoy your fake award. It’s not gonna happen again. She sucks.

Carmen Diaz-Duncan is a highly experienced and skillful family law attorney. She has handled several of my clients and colleagues with great results. I highly recommend Carmen and Newsome O’Donnell.
