CLIENT REVIEWS

Listed Below are Client Testimonials from 89 of
Attorney Newell’s PA Dog Attack Clients

I used to be of the opinion personal injury lawyers were getting rich by taking advantage whenever and wherever possible, “ambulance chasers.” Today, at 58 years old, Thomas Newell has completely altered that opinion. I called Thomas for assistance after being attacked by an angry dog. Tom asked the questions, investigated every aspect of the injury, and handled my case with 100% integrity.

Mr. Newell is a straight-shooter, honest, reliable, and extremely on top of his field. I was expecting a meager settlement to cover future medical needs that may be necessary but what I received is far more. Attorney Newell is proof that the feelings I held for 58 years couldn’t have been further from the truth.  I wouldn’t consider contacting another after my wonderful experience. If you or a loved one is ever injured by someone’s pet, I recommend you contact Thomas J. Newell, Esquire.

Steve
Ottsville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania Dog Attack Victim

******************************

I 100% recommend Thomas Newell, Esquire for any type of dog attack case you find yourself the victim in. I was attacked by a neighbor’s unleashed dog last year and the dog was not up-to-date with its rabies shots. This meant I went through the rabies treatment which was very painful and it took multiple visits and multiple rabies shots before I was done.

I called Attorney Newell for many reasons but mostly because of his record of success in these cases. I made the right choice as Attorney Thomas Newell fought for me and was able to get everything settled outside of court. Me and my family are forever grateful to Thomas Newell and again highly recommend him.

Samuel

He answered every phone call personally to ensure that I, as his client, had no question that had no answer for long.

Stroudsburg, Monroe County Pennsylvania Dog Attack Victim

******************************

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness and Value!  I cannot thank Attorney Newell and his team enough for how they handled my son’s dog bite case. Attorney Newell briefed me on the process from the start to finish and what the probable outcome would be.

My son’s dog bite took place in Pennsylvania but my son and I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He followed up with me over the course of 5 years to keep me updated and our communication was clear and concise. They were very organized and gave clear instructions on all paperwork.

Attorney Newell has a no-nonsense type of approach (which we could appreciate) and was focused on being my son’s advocate in this entire process.  This was my first interaction with an attorney/dog bite and all I can say is that I am thankful that we had Attorney Newell on our side! If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Attorney Newell and his team!

Chynel
Reading, Berks County Mother of PA Bite Victim

******************************

I was the victim of a dog bite. I was afraid and humiliated. My husband found an attorney that not only took on my case, he fought for me and he won! With Covid and the whole shutdown I didn’t expect Attorney Newell to constantly reach out to me, keep me informed and up-to-date on my case status, but he did. When situations arose or I was in need of a question being answered, I could call directly to Attorney Newell or even email him and receive prompt responses.

Thank you so much for not only settling this for me, but for doing so at such a rough time in the world!  Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value!

Attorney Newell is assertive, wise, extremely knowledgeable with the laws and skillful in all he does. I couldn’t be more thankful that our paths have crossed and we were able to claim justice for our son.

Brandon
Doylestown, Bucks County PA Dog Bite Victim

******************************

After my daughter was bitten by a friend’s dog on her face, I was recommended to use a big firm in the city.  I got nowhere and felt ignored for 2 years. Finally, I was recommended by a better friend to call Thomas Newell. He told me he could have the case wrapped up in 6 months and with a much larger settlement than I was told by the big firm.  I was very doubtful at first that he could accomplish  these goals.  He was 100% correct and delivered on his word. I highly recommend Mr. Newell.  He was very efficient, professional, responsive and confident.

Melissa

Responsiveness! When something unexpected happens, like a dog attack, it’s both terrifying as well as disconcerting. Not knowing where to begin after medical treatments, based on the reference of a friend, I called Attorney Newell. He was courteous and professional at the very onset. He never wavered showing diligence and vigilance on my case’s behalf.

Taking matters as far as they could go, Attorney Newell helped me receive a settlement that both compensated me for what I lost and did so in an expeditious manner. Do what he says, listen carefully, and you will have something to show for it all in the end.

I called Attorney Newell on that Saturday and he personally returned my phone call in less than an hour. On that call back, he requested that I start gathering items and information before we could schedule a face to face meeting to discuss the case.

The process was explained clearly and he was responsive to questions both my husband and I had. There were no surprises at all during the process. If I had a question or concern, either Attorney Newell or his paralegal responded to me. If I left a message, the call was returned within the hour.

I must say that Mr. Newell fought hard for us at the same time he remained caring and compassionate. I highly recommend Attorney Thomas J. Newell if you are looking for a dog bite attorney.

Amber
Easton, Northampton County, PA Dog Bite Victim’s Mother

******************************

First time using a lawyer for personal injury. My wife was attacked by a dog while trying to protect our dog. The dog owner was a renter. Thomas was straight with us from the start, and he told us renters do not usually have insurance. Moreover, trying to sue someone who owns nothing is usually pointless.  So we were prepared to see nothing.

Yet he was able to get an insurance claim against the property owner’s policy and get us a modest amount. Even though his portion was likely not worth his time, he still pursued it to the end and got us a little something which is better than nothing at all. I really appreciate his honesty and effort.

Sean
Harleysville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Dog Attack Victim’s Husband

******************************

I was injured while at work when I was attacked by 3 dogs. I never had to use a lawyer for an injury, but I spoke to someone and they recommended that I speak to Atty Newell. I am so glad I did!

He was very informative about what to do and his in-home consultation was wonderful. He kept me informed with every aspect of my case as it went. He was very easy to reach if I had any questions or issues.  I would recommend Attorney Thomas Newell if you ever need the BEST LAWYER for you or a family member!! He is the greatest……!

Barbara
Exeter, Luzerne County, PA Dog Bite Victim

******************************

Attorney Newell did an amazing job on my case, he . . .

  • was on top of things
  • took no BS from anyone
  • made sure I was given what was right
  • did not drag on my case
  • was always available when I needed him

But, above all this, he was thoughtful and respectful of my case.  He never once treated it as a dollar sign.  He did what he thought was right and what he thought would be in my best interests.  I would definitely recommend him to anyone and vouch for his work.

Thank you Attorney Newell.  I’m happy the case is over but saddened that our journey is done.

Erika
Stroudsburg, Monroe County, Pennsylvania Personal Injury Victim

******************************

I hired Attorney Thomas Newell to resolve a matter concerning a dog attack. I am impressed with his knowledge of the process. Attorney Newell made every contact needed to demonstrate my injuries. He coordinated every aspect of my case and negotiated on my behalf.

It would be inappropriate for me to comment on the settlement, but I will say that I received three times more than I expected! Mr. Newell’s decades of experience certainly paid off for me. Hire him!!

David
Bangor, Carbon County, PA Dog Attack Victim

******************************

Attorney Newell went out of his way to help me and was able to get a much larger settlement than originally anticipated. My case was relatively small compared to the typical cases that Attorney Newell handles. That did not matter to him. He provided me with the same professionalism and spent just as much time on my case regardless of the settlement amount.

I believe that I would not have had the same outcome with the settlement without his representation. I would highly recommend Attorney Newell and can’t thank him enough!!!

Deb
Richlandtown, Bucks County, PA Dog Bite Victim

I hope I never need his services again, but should my loved ones or I need a lawyer, Attorney Newell will be my first phone call without a doubt!

Attorney Newell gave 100% to my case. He made sure I understood everything. I was very pleased with the outcome. Couldn’t thank him enough. I would highly recommend Attorney Newell to my friends, family and anyone who may be in need of an attorney. He truly cares about his clients!

******************************

THANK YOU ATTORNEY THOMAS J. NEWELL!

I am not sure where to begin, but I feel compelled to share our daughter’s story. On December 17, 2017, the week before Christmas, our phone rang at 2 am waking us from a sound sleep notifying us that our 21 year old daughter was being rushed from one hospital to another hospital for emergency reconstructive surgery to her face. It was a pit bull attack and the pit bull didn’t want to let go of our daughter’s face until someone wrenched the dog’s jaw open. Our daughter endured a 2 1/2 hour emergency plastic surgery on her face. The painful range of emotions and confusion felt by our family from the moment the phone rang telling us what happened through the subsequent months of recuperating has been agonizing.

We had never needed an attorney’s advice or to retain an attorney as a family – but this time we did. A close family friend told us Attorney Thomas Newell is the only person to call and would not let us hesitate one minute in calling him. She even said repeatedly told us “don’t consider anyone else but Thomas Newell, as it would be a big mistake to not have him help us with our horrific situation.” Several months later, we trust understood why our dear friend insisted that we retain Attorney Newell.

From the beginning, Attorney Newell drove out to meet us and compassionately reassured our daughter to focus on recuperation and getting well.  He stated that he would take care of the rest. As the weeks and months progressed, we felt profoundly reassured by Attorney Newell’s methodical preparation as he developed our case with precision. His no nonsense handling and execution of our daughter’s case was very reassuring during this dark time for our family. There wasn’t a stone unturned and not one single moment wasted in the way Attorney Newell handled our case.

Attorney Newell safe-guarded our daughter’s case with TLC and defended her as if she were his own daughter. Throughout this ordeal, it was very clear to our family that our daughter’s well-being was all he was concerned about, as well as putting our worried minds at ease. Throughout the process of being represented by Attorney Newell until the resolution of our daughter’s case, we cried with sadness and cried and smiled with a feeling of reassurance as the case was seen through to a conclusion.

The conclusion and settlement results of our case exemplified Attorney Newell’s authority, powerful presence and expertise in dealing with these matters. We are forever very grateful for his razor-like focus, paramount selfless devotion and generosity in expeditiously handling and winning our daughter’s case.

Douglas
Father of Pennsylvania Dog Attack Victim

******************************

Thomas J. Newell represented my daughter’s case better than we could ever imagine. While we were recovering from pain and all the stress, Mr. Newell and his team worked hard to make sure that we didn’t have to worry about any finances and outrageous doctor’s bills.

He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a GREAT outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Thanks you all so much for your hard work.

Monica
Monroe County, PA Dog Bite Victim

******************************

“I cannot speak highly enough of Attorney Newell’s ability to fight for individuals that are the victims of dog bite/personal injury cases. His communication, professionalism and tenacity for his clients are top-notch and unparalleled. Throughout the entire process, I was kept in the loop via email or phone call.

Being the victim of a vicious dog bite attack is never ideal, and the added stress of rising medical bills and a lawsuit could’ve easily compounded upon that. However, my family and I made the BEST decision when we chose Attorney Newell. He put our minds at ease and was present and more than helpful from the very beginning – until the case was settled.

I cannot recommend Attorney Newell enough to those that are victims of dog bite attacks or personal injury cases.  Thank you, sir!”

Jesse
Bucks County, Pennsylvania Dog Attack Victim

******************************

Attorney Thomas J. Newell obtained a settlement for my wife after she was viciously attacked by an unrestrained dog while walking in the housing development adjacent to our own. Attorney Newell kept us informed of what was going on and how long everything should take to resolve.

Our medical insurance company had a clause in our insurance that allowed them to be reimbursed for their payouts related to the dog attack. But, they tried to get more money than they were entitled to. Attorney Newell caught this and kept their payment to what they were truly owed.

I cannot speak highly enough of Attorney Newell and would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice w/ regard to a dog attack or personal injury case.

Rob
Bucks County, PA Dog Bite Victim

Attorney Newell,

I want to thank you for the professional service you provided to me with my dog bite case. I know it was no easy task – as the owner of the dog left the area. Thank you again for your time and help.

Attorney Newell was very professional and passionate about making sure our child, who had been bitten by a dog, received fair compensation. He came to our house and explained everything we needed to know. After that, he handled our case in a tireless manner.

We are very pleased with the work he has done for us and would not have been able to do any of this without him.  We highly recommend him and his office for the successful work they have done.  Thank you, Mr. Newell!

After being bitten by a neighbor’s dog and realizing that my medical bills would be higher than I expected (and not sure they would be covered by promises by the neighbor), I needed a good lawyer.  I found Thomas Newell’s website and was impressed by his other clients’ testimonials about his expertise.  He proved to be very competent in getting me a settlement that was more than I expected!

I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer for a fair compensation in cases like mine.

Attorney Newell’s client dedication and down to earth personality was a pleasure to work with.  Attorney Newell put things into perspective and he was also honest.  I strongly recommend hiring Attorney Newell and would use his services again.

With much appreciation I thank Attorney Thomas J. Newell for his help in settling my dog bite case. As a letter carrier who finds dogs to be difficult and dangerous at times, Attorney Newell’s expertise was certainly helpful.

He personally kept to the task and informed me numerous times as to the progress of the case. He also made a point to push for greater consideration of previous difficulties with the owner’s dog. Thus, providing better compensation in the final closing of the settlement. I am thankful for Thomas Newell’s office and commitment to my case.

Dear Attorney Newell:

It was not the first time the neighbor’s German Shepherd had attacked my two small terriers, but this time he had bitten me too.  As an animal lover, I had not reported the first incident because the neighbors had pleaded with me to give their dog a “second chance.”

The dangerous dog law might seem to be clear-cut and well defined.  In my situation it seemed to be based more on the opinions of the police, the animal control officer and the neighbor’s insurance claim adjuster.  To them this was just another dog attack case.  But not to me.  It involved far more than merely receiving compensation for the medical bills, vet bills and lost wages.  The decision regarding this case was going to affect the rest of my life, my future safety and that of my dogs.

Attorney Newell, who has 30 years of experience with dealing with victims of dog attacks, understood all this.  I wonder how different the outcome might have been had he not represented me.  Without his experience, caring and knowledge of the law, I might have been twice a victim: one for the attack and the other for a settlement that did not fully consider my fears and concerns.

I am extremely grateful to Attorney Newell.  I place the highest regard on his insight and willingness to litigate a case that had more to it than cold, hard facts.  Every time I look at the scar on my hand I will be reminded, and forever grateful, that he brought me the thing I wanted most: peace of mind.

Attorney Newell,

Well, it certainly was fantastic to get your telephone call yesterday.  All day long my scar from the dog bite was itching like crazy.  So, then to get your message to call you was really a coincidence.  I want you to know that I do really appreciate you sticking with me and following through to the end.

I hope that the winter hasn’t been too cruel to you down your way and I wish for you and your family a healthy rest of 2014.  And, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

In April 2011, our 6 year old daughter was viciously attacked by a neighbor’s pit bull.  After a few months of trying to handle things on our own, we found Attorney Newell through his blog.  We decided he was the man to handle our daughter’s case.

He drove over 2 hours to meet with our entire family in our home.  He listened to our story, was kind and gentle with our children and explained the entire process to us.  I will never forget the closing comment he made to us, ”Your job is to take care of your daughter and family. My job is to right this wrong and handle everything else.” A huge weight was lifted that day for us.

He kept us informed with updates quite regularly. He contacted all the doctors and hospitals for medical records. He worked with the Dog Warden, police and other local officials. He again drove over 2 hours to attend the hearing on the dog charges. He sat with us and supported us during the entire ordeal. Partially due to his assistance, the D.A. secured a conviction on both charges. Assistance, I might add, that went above and beyond his legal responsibilities.

He cares for his clients and becomes invested in their future well-being, not just the outcome of the case. We never felt like a case number or one of a long list of clients. Attorney Newell always knew who I was when I called and never needed to “grab the file” to refresh his memory. He makes you feel like he lives and breathes only your case! There were many times I received phone calls and emails late in the evening when most people would be home with their families. He sacrificed so much to ensure our daughter received the best outcome possible for her situation. His assistant, Patti, does tireless work behind the scenes as well. They make a wonderful team!!

I always sheepishly refer to Attorney Newell as “The Pit Bull of Attorneys!” He truly is a fighter and advocate. He knows the laws inside and out, and I don’t think there is anyone out there with half the knowledge he has.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank Attorney Newell for all of his hard work! He took an incredibly traumatic situation and found a resolution that minimized the stress & pain for our daughter and entire family. We would recommend him to anyone who unfortunately finds themselves in this or similar situation.

Attorney Newell is top notch and our hero!!!

After my twelve year old son was attacked by a pit bull, I contacted Thomas J. Newell, Esq. He is the best in the business. His tireless work ethic, attention to detail, knowledge of the law and commitment to our case was outstanding. I was impressed with his constant communication and updates almost weekly. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel as to the positive outcome of this case and “thank you” seems suboptimal. My son is doing well and justice has been served. I highly recommend Attorney Newell. He is definitely one of the good guys.

My sincerest “Thank You.”

My daughter was attacked by a pair of dogs belonging to my wife’s aunt two years ago. As a father of three, I was living through something every parent fears but hopes never happens. One minute I was brokenhearted seeing my little girl suffer, the next minute I was feeling rage at the owners of the dogs.

I was approached by the homeowners insurance company representing my wife’s aunt the day after the attack and was offered compensation for the incident. I could have agreed to their offer given my state of mind, wanting to get past the horror of what happened. Instead, I decided to hire an attorney. I found Thomas J. Newell’s website and began reading the testimonials of dog attack victims that he had represented.

I contacted Thomas via email and promptly received an email back. My wife and I met with Attorney Newell in our home and he explained exactly what he could do for us and what to expect regarding a case involving family members. My wife had hesitations because it was her side of the family that was involved. Attorney Newell was well aware of these concerns and was able to put her mind at ease. We both stressed to him that we did not want the family member’s personal assets involved in the lawsuit and, that we were only interested in the insurance company paying for my daughter’s injuries.

I am happy to say that the case is now settled and Thomas J. Newell, Esquire was outstanding as our attorney. He was able to get the insurance company to settle my daughter’s case for an amount that we couldn’t be happier with. This great settlement was entirely because of Attorney Newell’s work in representing our interests in this case.

I found Attorney Newell to be a very assertive and confident lawyer while handling my son’s case. He took full control in the collection of evidence and the presentation of our case. All communications regarding the case were done directly by Mr. Newell. I was kept in constant communication about updates to the situation and every step of the way every call I made was received by Mr. Newell himself.

He is very knowledgeable about dog law and is very clear in his explanations about all of the details pertaining to our case. He was present at court dates that were not necessarily required for him to be in attendance. However, he did so in support of my son which was greatly appreciated.

Dear Thomas Newell,

I would like to thank you for handling my dog bite claim. Throughout the duration of my case, you kept me informed and updated with the process every step of the way. I am extremely thrilled with the outcome of the case, and couldn’t ask for a better experience in working with you. I will highly recommend you to anyone who needs a good, aggressive lawyer.

Thank you.

Dear Attorney Newell:

William Arthur Ward once said, “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and never giving it.” This is why I wanted to take a moment of your time to thank you personally for the time and effort you put into my court case. Words cannot express how much I appreciated your advice, as well as the compassion that you displayed throughout the legal process.

With all the emotions this court case has triggered, I was very grateful that you and Patti were there every step of the way to guide me legally, as well as emotionally. This was a very traumatic time and I will always be eternally grateful that I did not have to go through it alone.

I do not believe that I would have made it through this particular time in my life without your support. I would highly recommend your legal services to anyone in need of them. You give your heart and soul to your cases. Thank you very much for always being there.

Sincerely,
Brenda

Attorney Newell,

I have given it a lot of thought and there truly are not enough words to accurately express how fortunate we were to have found you as our attorney. Now that life has officially settled down, I have been able to realize how much was going on. For 27 months, I didn’t want to deal with anything other than what I had to do at that exact moment. Knowing you and Patti were working on our case always made my days a little brighter.

I have never met anyone as thorough as you and for that I am most grateful. Knowing if I needed something or had a question, I could pick up the phone and get the answer, brought more peace of mind than I realized. If you weren’t in the office, I would always get a call back from you in a timely manner.

The two times you drove to Connecticut were above and beyond the expectations of an attorney. As for Patti, she was always a delight and would respond to me as if we had known each other for many years. Between the two of you, you made my nightmare less frightening and in a time of fear, that is more precious to me than you can imagine.

My list could go on and on, but what I am trying to say is “thank you!” The best of success to you in all of your endeavors. You have both been a blessing to me and my son and that will forever warm my heart.

Dear Attorney Newell:

As the parents of a six year old little boy who suffered an unprovoked and vicious attack by a family member’s Rottweiler, we can tell you how heartbreaking and tragic this experience was. Although we will never get over the emotional and physical trauma of this experience, we sought compensation for our son’s injuries by contacting Attorney Thomas Newell.

While his reputation and expertise in this particular area of the law was extremely impressive, it was his professionalism, sensitivity and sincerity that we respect the most. He worked tirelessly on our son’s case and in the end settled with the insurance company for an amount that exceeded even his own expectations.

We always knew you were very busy handling dog bite cases in many different counties, but thank you Thomas for always making us feel as if our son’s case was your only one.

Respectfully,
Chris and Jenny, parents of

Thomas:
Attorney Newell represented me after my dog and I were attacked on our own property. What a traumatic experience for anyone to have to go through. But on top of it, I had to worry about how I would be compensated for my losses.

Attorney Newell was very knowledgeable and persistent with my case and he took that worry from me. He made all the phone calls, letters and obtained all necessary documents needed to bring justice and compensation to my case, while keeping me posted of the progress. I would recommend Attorney Newell to anyone who was looking for the best possible service and outcome for their case.

Dear Attorney Newell:

My wife and I would like to thank you for all the time and effort you put into reaching a successful conclusion with our case. We really appreciate how well you kept us informed. From the initial home visit to the final settlement, we always knew the status of our case.

In addition, you went the extra mile by appearing at court proceedings which were outside of your formal scope of responsibility. The best part is, that we couldn’t be happier with the settlement amount reached – which by the way was much more than we anticipated.

We would highly recommend you to anyone who finds themselves in need of your specialized services. Again, thank you for everything.

Attorney Newell:

When my mother first fell and broke her ankle, we didn’t really think about pursuing compensation from the lady whose dog my mother tripped over. But when she ended up in a nursing home and her ankle was not healing properly, we decided to contact an attorney. I was not even sure that we even had a case until personally talking with Attorney Newell who is quite knowledgeable about dog laws.

I learned that the owner was at fault. Attorney Newell was willing to take his own time to pursue the lady to find out if she even had homeowner’s insurance. I was very impressed with the amount of contact I received from Attorney Newell. He is the one who answers the phone when you call, even when it is not during regular business hours. I was kept informed of every action that was taken and why. I had regular phone calls updating me on the status of the case. I was never left out in the dark.

The case was resolved as quickly as possible to ensure that my mother received some compensation for her injury. I have been involved in my own settlement in the past with a different law firm. They had minimal contact with me, were not easily accessible by phone and never even attempted e-mail contacts with updates. My case was drawn out for almost 2 years.

Dealing with Attorney Newell made me realize that there are attorneys out there who care about their clients. If you are pursuing compensation for an injury and in need of an attorney, I would strongly recommend Attorney Newell for his knowledge about the laws, his personal contact with clients and his ability to get the compensation that you deserve as quickly as possible.

Thank you for all you have done in handling my mother’s case.

Dear Mr. Newell:

Thanks for your excellent efforts and professionalism in the handling of my wife’s case. After the dog bite, she was very upset, sad and confused. But with your excellent and knowledgeable help, she felt that she was in good hands. Attorney Newell, you have treated my wife with respect and courtesy.

I believe that no other attorney would have done the hard work like you did. You did everything according to the law and with proper understanding. You treated my wife as if she was your best client. She was really proud to have an attorney like yourself.

If we are in need of a good attorney in the future, you are the one. Also, I will tell all my friends and relatives to use your help if they need it. I can’t thank you enough for your hard work. You are the best lawyer around. God bless you all the time.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for handling my wife’s dog bite claim so quickly and thoroughly. After the incident, we did not know where to turn with our questions and an initial consult with another attorney only confused us more.

After finding out that you were willing to meet with us at our home to discuss the case, we are glad that we did. I appreciate your focus and follow through on my wife’s case. We will be happy to recommend you as you made this process very straightforward for us.
Thanks again.
