| Description | Mr. Newman is a unique trial lawyer in that he has substantial experience as both a plaintiff’s lawyer and a defense lawyer. Prior to starting his own law firm, Mr. Newman worked at three law law firms: (1) a firm that represented both plaintiffs and defendants; (2) a large insurance defense firm that exclusively represents defendants; and (3) a law firm that exclusively represents plaintiffs who were injured or damaged by the acts and/or omissions of defendants. While working at this large defense firm, Mr. Newman defended international corporations, domestic corporations, insurance companies, doctors and other licensed healthcare professionals and he also learned the tactics that insurance companies and its insureds use to prevent Plaintiffs from obtaining monetary damages. Mr. Newman now fights against these massive insurance companies and self-insured corporations to help his clients obtain the justice that they deserve. Mr. Newman is a proud lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). At age 17, Mr. Newman was emancipated so he could join the United States Marine Corps. He worked as a hydraulics and air frame structural mechanic on F/A-18 Hornets with VMFA-142 and later joined HMLA-773 and worked on AH-1 SuperCobras and UH-1 Hueys. In 2005, right after completing combat training at Camp Geiger and aviation schools in Pensacola, FL and Oceana, VA and within two weeks of joining his new fighter jet squadron, Mr. Newman deployed to Al Asad Airbase, Al Anbar, Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. While deployed he worked 12-15 hours per day, 7 days per week for over 6 months in very intense and chaotic conditions. His military training and experience has enabled Mr. Newman to perform exceptionally well in extremely stressful and highly intense situations. Mr. Newman is married, has two sons and lives in Nolensville. He enjoys traveling, snowboarding, fishing and hunting. Since he met his wife in law school, they always enjoy a lively debate. While Mr. Newman no longer fights on the physical battlefield, he now fights for his clients on the battlefields of ideas by crafting lawsuits, in conference rooms by deposing key witnesses and extracting key information to use as evidence against his opponents and in the courtroom as he fights for his clients’ to secure the justice that they deserve. Even today as he crusades for justice on behalf of his clients, Mr. Newman retains the Marine Corps values of honor, courage and commitment. We believe that our values and vision for your case will help you secure the justice that you deserve. We would love to fight alongside you in your quest for justice. We encourage you to contact us today to see if we can help.

Drafted a strong Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings in a tortious interference of business expectations case and the Plaintiff non-suited (dismissed her case) prior to oral arguments on the motion.
