Jones, Simpson & Newton PA

Worst representation I have ever received. In 2014, I engaged Mr. Newton to represent me in a simple breach of contract suit against a local councilman. It took him almost 2 weeks to tell us he had run against him in a prior election but, we were assured it would not be an issue. Later, we were told by an attorney helping him we only stood a 50/50 chance of winning in the courts because we were moving from No VA and down here, they remember their history and heritage. When asked what that had to do with anything, he asked if we knew the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee. When I said no, he replied - Damn Yankees don't go home. I consider him unethical as he did not advise of his endorsement of the councilman which, had we known, would have resulted in us finding another attorne

I was against the compromise and adamant about filing suit even though you intimidated my wife about depositions and trial. I have been through depositions and trials many times and this was a simple breach of contract issue. As to the endors

Worst experience possible. Screwed up my closing by not adding proper transfers fees in final closing cost documents. Now my HOA is telling me I owe them over $500 that they disclosed to the attorney prior to closing. Asked attorney about the fee she simply said they forgot to add it the final paperwork (but they were aware of the transfer fee). I paid over $3,000 in attorney fees, they simply did not do their job. Not only was my attorney rude when she finally called back after 10 calls but she lied about trying to help fix the situation. Have called over 15 times since the last conversation when she promised she would call back with an answer, have not heard anything. Simply horrible business practices. I understand mistakes happen, but being rude and simply ignoring past clients is no w

This firm (specifically Mr. Newton) came highly recommended by a colleague. I filled out their website contact form, then left two subsequent VMs but no one ever replied. Guess I should have read the firm's Google reviews first 👎🏻
