Holtey Brown Newsom - Portland, Oregon

Nathan was exceptional. His whole team Kassandra Jewett and Solveig were wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about them.

I had been a stay at mom for my whole adult life and was scared, insecure and filled with uncertainty when thinking about going through with a divorce. I had filed for divorce twice with two different attorneys previously and was very unhappy with them. On my search for a 3rd attorney I came across Nathan on a random google search.

Nathan really fought for me, Nathan was able to prove in a room full of professionals that years of abuse had occurred in my marriage.

Nathan was very direct and straight forward with telling me what I could expect during the process and what I would probably receive as far as assets, alimony and child support and he was spot on. Nathan had a deep understanding for my situation and was empathetic toward me because he knew how scared, anxious and nervous I was. Nathan and Kassandra were very responsive immediately even when I had questions outside of appointments. I had so many questions and my anxiety was through the roof during the process. Nathan constantly reassured me that everything was going to be ok, he was genuinely concerned about mine and my kids well being and I trusted him with my complex situation. He exceeded my expectations. You will be in great hands with Nathan and his team I highly recommend him!

Andy Newsom and Jessy Morris have helped tremendously with a very complex high stake, high emotion divorce and appeal case. They have been extremely kind, patient, thorough and realistic. They are both very knowledgeable and personable. They are also easy to understand and have offered me a great deal of help, hope and peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend both of them to anyone seeking legal advise/ counsel. They are honest genuine and upfront, which can be extremely hard to find when seeking legal counsel. Every person I have ever spoken to in their office has always been a positive interaction. I have worked with several different attorneys and law firms over the years and these guys are by far the best I have dealt with!

When it came time to call around for divorce attorneys, they all had a relatively common refrain: essentially, "abandon all hope and resign yourself to eternal suffering--you're ed."

With the notable exception of Jessy from Hotley Law!

When Jessy returned my call, she came PREPARED. Wanted all the details, listened extremely attentively, and laid out what the legal strategy, costs, benefits, etc were in proceeding.

I can't thank Jessy and Solveig from Hotley Law enough. They handled all my questions, took care of the paperwork and any potential loose ends, and turned, well, let's be honest, a not-so-great experience into a 5-star one!

For reals, thank you to Jessy, Solveig, and the team at Hotley Law from me and my kid for helping us get past this chapter and onto to the rest of our lives.

I deeply appreciate Andy Newsom, Amy, his legal assistant, and the entire team. The other reviews here on Andy's compassion, brilliance, work-ethic, and expertise, were all true to my experience as he worked on my appeal case for 2 years. Like many other clients here, I had my fair share of working with several family law attorneys before I met Andy. During the interview, I knew he was different, and my time working with him had proven that to me. He took my appeal case to victory, and helped resolve the conflict through very skillful negotiation at the end of the journey. I honestly do not think that I would have the results I have, without Andy and Amy's help. I highly recommend Andy to anyone needing a family law attorney, and especially as an appeals attorney. I would say Andy epitomizes someone who combines his Mind and Heart in his work, and this is a very rare attribute.

I am beyond thankful for Michael Schaffer and his paralegal assistant, Amy.
Michael went above and beyond, every time. He always kept me grounded by being honest, and gave me the strength to keep going. He’s kind and thoughtful of everyone who is involved. I have always appreciated his honesty and his perspective. He never gave me false hope. He took his time and really explained everything, he never rushed me, and gave me the validation I needed.
Amy is so organized and efficient. She welcomed phone calls and emails, and she helped calm a lot of fears.
I never would have made it through the last year and a half without Michael and Amy. I will never be able to thank them enough for everything they’ve both done.
In a time where life has been so unknown and scary - they helped take the fear with encouragement and honestly - and for the first time in a long time, I was heard.
Thank you Michael and Amy for everything!

Nate is incredible. I came to him at a very difficult point in my life. Nate was direct, knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate. He helped me navigate a challenging spot I never wanted to be in with clarity and just rock solid advice. He had my back every step of the way, and I continue to seek out his counsel years after the settlement he helped me secure that exceeded my expectation. If I could give him six stars I would.

5 stars does not do justice for Andrew Newsome and his team.

Andrew took on a divorce case, after my first attorney retired, filled with challenges that had already been going on for three years. From a trial court whose findings did not match the final decision, an appeals court that helped fixed those decisions to a respondent that has a “my way or the highway” attitude no matter the financial cost, who filed for a second appeal.

Andrew fought hard for me through the heartbreaking and frustrating loss at the appeals court level all the way to the Supreme Court of the State of Oregon.

From the first day of meeting him, I knew my case was in capable, compassionate, and confident hands. Andrew was very straightforward on what to expect and what should happen, while never promising any outcome. He and his team communicated each step of the process and any questions I had were quickly answered.

Andrew and his team did their homework, never being afraid to reach out to others more experienced in case law whether it was other lawyers or judges.

I will never be able to convey how thankful I am that I retained Andrew and trusted him to go on a nearly seven-year journey with him. I will always be thankful to him and his team for believing in me and fighting so hard for me.

I highly recommend Andrew Newsome and his team.

I had the extreme pleasure of working with Allison today and I must say, she is very knowledgeable about her field and is a very welcoming and warm person. I reached out to a few firms while researching who I wanted to go with, and I’m glad I picked this firm. Most firms are overwhelming but not here. From our consultation over the phone to when we met in person, it was educational and a pleasure all around. It’s refreshing to have a such a young and talented individual on your team and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for any legal help you need. Thank you so much Allison i really appreciated your time today and look forward to using your services moving forward 😁
