Darth was thorough and strategic throughout our case. He kept us updated and responded quickly to emails, regardless of the time of day. He made sure we were fully prepared for mediation and firmly advocated for us during the process. He helped us reach a settlement for the full amount owed to us, plus a portion of attorney fees. Would absolutely recommend.Posted on Google![]()

In 2021 I signed a poorly written contract with my partner that put me in a bad negotiating position. Darth was not only able to help me understand the actual circumstances of my position, he was also able to help develop and think through a favorable strategy. He had knowledge that can only come from experience as a successful litigator. He never painted a rosey picture of the situation, but did offer alternatives that allowed us to build a winning strategy. One of the best and final catches was to ensure the new contract would dissolve the old contract even if it was breached. I have no hesitation recommending Darth Newman if you are in a bad contract or need a successful way out of a hard and valuable business dispute.Posted on Google![]()

After having a very difficult time finding anyone to help answer my questions about an investigation I got caught up in, he not only gave me advice despite it not being his are of expertise, but also found someone for me to contact with decades of experience in the type of case I was involved with. He even contacted that lawyer to give a handoff of the specifics so my time with my lawyer was more streamlined. You won't regret reaching out to him!Posted on Google![]()

I have had A LOT of law firms in my career and even personal life. Darth Newman has easily ranked up there as a top firm in my experience. Prompt, understanding, helpful, knowledgeable, competent, and professional... it would be hard to do better.

Gregg Gillaugh533 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Recently, a nonprofit organization in which I am a board member encountered several serious issues relating to one of our members. Stressed and frustrated, attorney Newman’s involvement was nothing short of transformative. His engagement served as the turning point that led to a more peaceful and thoughtful resolution. By clearly articulating the profound implications regarding the situation —including the potential for lifetime suspension to the opposong party —he brought critical clarity to a tense situation. In essence, they quickly realized that it was in their best interest to cease and desist certain ongoing activity and cooperate. Attorney Newman not only helped the board reach a more informed and responsible path forward in resolving the situation, but also provided my family with a deep sense of reassurance during an incredibly difficult time. His integrity and unwavering commitment made an immeasurable difference, and I will remain deeply grateful for his counsel and presence throughout.Posted on Google![]()

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the most common questions we hear. For additional questions, contact us to discuss your unique situation.
Yes, False Claims Act cases are one of the very few areas of law for which every plaintiff must have a lawyer in order to proceed. It is very important to choose a lawyer with experience handling these complicated and procedurally complex cases and working collaboratively with state and federal investigative and enforcement authorities.
While arbitration often presents a less formal setting than court, having a business litigation lawyer can significantly enhance your ability to effectively present your case. For example, while the rules of evidence in arbitration are more relaxed than in a courtroom, there are still rules and procedures for introducing evidence to support your claim. As your lawyer, we will prepare your case, represent you during the arbitration proceedings, and protect your legal rights throughout the process. This support is particularly valuable in disputes involving substantial legal or financial concerns.
Yes. The False Claims Act provides that whistleblowers are entitled to a share of the government’s recovery in qui tam cases. This share is set by the court and (except in rare cases) ranges from 15% to 25% when the government intervenes, and from 25% to 30% if the government declines to intervene.
The False Claims Act (FCA) enables private citizens to take action against all manner of fraud (not including tax fraud) involving any federal monies. Common schemes include Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud, government procurement fraud, customs fraud, PPP loan fraud, as well as grant, loan and cyber security fraud. Telling lies to receive federal money is generally actionable. A majority of states have similar laws which permit citizens to bring cases to recover state money as well.
Yes, in many cases, even if a contract is partially performed, you may still have grounds for a breach of contract claim. The nature of the breach(es) will determine the amount of any possible recovery so it is important to have your case evaluated by an experienced complex commercial litigator before committing to an expensive and lengthy litigation process.
