In 1983, David M. Newell graduated from Louisiana State University Law School and opened a law practice in Homer, La.    In 1988, his brother Daniel Newell joined him and the firm became known as Newell and Newell.  His father Paul Newell joined them in 1990.  In 1997, Daniel and Paul purchased the Newell and Newell firm and David formed The Newell Law Firm. The firm currently has three attorneys, David, Patrick Jefferson, and Charlie Bradshaw, and specializes in trial work.

We believe in the principles of Care and Concern for our clients and a desire to Work Hard.  We believe that success on behalf of our clients requires more than simply winning the case.  Success includes making our clients better off in all ways, including financially, being mentally and physically able to handle the rigors of trials, and winning the case.  While this is complicated, a client is not better off if we win the case and you are ruined financially or if your health suffers as a result.  We handle your case as if it was our own and make decisions and recommendations that are simply in your best interest.

We believe that success only comes through Hard Work. It is not rocket science, we attend to details. We receive your case, determine that it is legally correct and financially in your best interest to proceed, and sign an engagement letter with you.  We research the law for the latest cases that may influence a Judge’s decision.  We search for and study the evidence that either supports your position or does not.  We interview all witnesses and ask for statements from them that better prepare them for trial.  We analyze the case for its strengths and weaknesses, make offers of settlement, and prepare the case for trial.  We attempt to settle your case prior to trial, since this often times is a significant cost savings to you.  We enter into mediation or arbitration for all applicable cases, and as a last resort, take your case to trial.

We enjoy trial work, it is challenging, hard work, and combative, requiring us to be totally prepared.  It is what we trained for and we are very experienced.   We will win your case.
