“Gary is confident, dependable, and personable.”

“Mr. Newland is a consummate professional. He is a highly skilled litigator. His arguments in court, before a judge or jury, are cogent and moving. Not only is he knowledgeable about the technicalities of the law, but he has the innate ability to relate to people on a human level, which makes his style of litigation that much more persuasive. Added to these qualities, he tenaciously fights for his clients’ rights to compensation. Mr. Newland’s attributes extend beyond the courtroom. He serves as a mentor to younger and less experienced attorneys, always answering questions, providing direction and sage advice.”
