Disputes and Litigation Lawyer in Brooklyn, New York

Newman Litigation PLLC is a firm that cares about delivering results for clients.  Many of our clients are plaintiffs, like businesses whose partners breach their contracts, executives whose employers violate the law, investors who need to assert their rights, and creditors who are entitled to collect assets.  And many of our clients are defendants, businesses and individuals who need to respond to unfounded claims and to vindicate their reputations.

The firm does more than draft papers and appear in court.  It advises clients on the law, helping them avoid disputes and litigation, to decide when and how to litigate, to discern which claims are worth the time and expense, and to consider all available options and perspectives.

The firm is proud of its work.  Some lawyers let ChatGPT do the work, or submit sloppy filings, or fail to meaningfully prepare for hearings.  Some lawyers take unreasonable positions or are too afraid to tell the client difficult truths.  And some struggle to properly respond directly to arguments and questions.  Newman Litigation PLLC holds itself to a higher standard, thoroughly researching the applicable law, filing persuasive submissions that explain not only why the client should succeed but also why the adversary is wrong, and asserting arguments designed to meet the client’s objective and protect the client’s credibility in disputes and litigation.

The results speak for themselves.  Lawyers at the firm have helped:

• An investor obtain an asset freezing order over the objection of a large publicly traded corporation represented by a large law firm;

• A manufacturer obtain a multimillion dollar settlement in a products liability dispute;

• A business defeat false advertising claims raised by a competitor;

• A business and its employee prevail in a dispute arising from a non-competition agreement;

• A startup defeat an employment discrimination claim at arbitration;

• An individual defeat a defamation claim raising hurtful accusations about his character; and

• A business dismiss numerous claims against it brought by a competing business.

Why Clients Choose the Firm

While there are a lot of litigators in the country, it can be hard to find one that is the right fit for a particular client.  Many bill more than $1,500 per hour.  Many are uncomfortable and unable to litigate cases outside of their narrow band of experience.  And many have not earned a reputation for being reliable and capable.

Many clients come to the firm because of word-of-mouth referrals.  Good lawyers earn reputations.

This firm aims to give clients value for the fees they pay.  No firm can guarantee results, and this firm is no exception.  And litigation can be an expensive process.  But the firm aims to make sure that clients get the highest quality of representation for less money than many other firms in New York would charge. 

Moreover, since Newman Litigation is a small firm.  It is not a factory that churns out small cases with minimal attention given to each.  It represents select clients and every case gets personal attention from Will Newman, the principal.   Together with his colleagues, Will can provide:

• Litigation experience: Not only has Will litigated cases for 18 years, but he works with colleagues who have clerked for multiple federal judges and who have together handled hundreds of matters.

• Recognition in the world of litigation: Will writes a popular blog on litigation, wrote a law review article about arbitration, has been quoted in newspapers about litigation, and is an editor of an American Bar Association magazine about litigation.

• A polished courtroom presentation: One of Will’s key strengths is his courtroom presentations.  Many lawyers think they are great public speakers, but Will takes pride in his oral arguments and jury presentations.

• Clear communication: Clients receive updates and guidance throughout the litigation process.

• Focused advocacy: The firm pursues practical solutions while protecting our clients’ financial and professional interests.

The firm’s work in disputes and litigation often involves assisting clients before litigation formally begins. Early legal guidance during negotiations or pre-lawsuit disputes may help resolve issues before they escalate into expensive and time-consuming court proceedings.

Business and financial disputes often involve sensitive relationships and substantial stakes. Having experienced representation can help clients approach negotiations and litigation with greater confidence and preparation.
