  I can’t say enough good things about Zak Newman and his team. I was in a really difficult situation that could have dragged on for months, maybe even years—but Zak made the impossible happen. He worked quickly, fought hard for me, and made sure everything was handled so I could focus on what truly mattered—seeing my dad before he passes away. Zak isn’t just a great attorney—he’s a genuinely good person who cares about his clients and their lives beyond the courtroom. He treated my case with compassion, urgency, and determination. I’ll always be grateful for what he did for me and my family. If you ever find yourself in a tough legal situation, I can’t recommend Zak Newman enough. He truly goes above and beyond.

  I hired Zak Newman to handle an expungement in McMinn County. This was for a series of 30+ year felony convictions, including one class B Cocaine felony. Zak traveled two counties over outside of his practice region to help me. Zak filed a 26-page comprehensive petition with exhibits under section H of the statute. The petition far exceeded my expectations. Zak left no doubt in the judge's mind and the DA's office filed no objection. The Criminal Court of McMinn County found the petition well taken and ordered all eight convictions to be expunged and the records destroyed, including the class B felony. For more than 30 years I had lived on the edges of society as a convicted felon. Obtaining the expungement was a new lease on life and it profoundly changed my future. I recently verified with TDOC and the TBI that the convictions were in fact erased. I registered to vote and even obtained a firearms permit after a national fingerprint background check. Zak Newman is an attentive listener and tremendous communicator. Client/attorney compatibility is of high importance to anyone seeking to hire an attorney. Sometimes you need to be quiet and follow the attorney's lead. Sometimes the attorney needs you to step up to the plate and do some of the heavy lifting. Zak makes this process acceptable for everyone. He is a centered person who understands your emotions can get elevated. But he is an ordinary man who connects with ordinary people. Zak keeps his ego in check and gets down to business with a rational approach that puts you at ease. I honestly think the Lord directed me to him to get things done right. Zak Newman is simply a very special person. I'm glad I met him.
