Stephen Palmer and his team were amazing to work with. Stephen was always responsive and is definitely an expert in family law. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and their well being. He also is considerate of the opposing party and keeps you grounded when in a tough situation emotionally, financially, etc. If you're looking for an attorney to represent you that will be prompt, responsive, caring, and efficient then Stephen with Newberg Law is a great choice. Thank you Stephen for everything!!!!

Steve Palmer helped me with a stressful personal family matter and it all went so smoothly thanks to him.
He was calm, professional, very informative and efficient. He was very prompt to answer any questions and concerns I had. He calmed my nerves and gave excellent legal advice every step of the way.
The office staff was also very easy and professional to work with. I will go to them in the future for all legal matters! I really like the location out in a small town. So easy to get to and convenient and they were very safe with COVID concerns.

Steve Palmer was a breath of fresh air. After two previous attorneys, he helped tie up the loose ends and finish strong on behalf of me and my family. Extremely knowledgeable, thorough and professional. Cannot say enough.

I have used this firm since 2010. Working with both Steve Palmer and Loren Gaukroger. I highly recommend both of these attorneys. Always professional and respectful. They have made every crazy Custody modification experience bearable by having honest reliable advice. I can't imagine going through the past 10 years without them.

I had a difficult divorce a couple years back with 4 kids involved and wish I had contacted Stephen Palmer from the start. The emotional and financial strain really sent me for a spin. He helped me step by step with filling a supplemental judgement that really helped fix my situation. I highly recommend Newberg Law for any of your legal needs.

Just be aware that they apparently ONLY REPRESENT LANDLORDS!
I reached out to them bc their website specifically states, "Our real estate and land use attorneys represent property owners and managers, general contractors, subcontractors, commercial and residential landlords as well as tenants and single-family homeowners". I understood that to mean that they represent residential landlords and tenants. Well, they responded saying they only represent landlords. Then I went back to the website, clicked learn more under the real estate law section, & it says the same paragraph, but it says "commercial
