EDITORIAL REVIEW

Newman defended Yahoo, Agilent and Cypress Semiconductor in high-profile employment matters.

VISITOR RATINGS (on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being best)

LAURA LEE NORRIS, Solo Practitioner, Former Vice President at Cypress Semiconductor

relationship: represented me (Employment Related Litigation)

rates/fees: His rates are very fair in comparison with the industry and geography.

comments: Brad is an excellent litigator. He is able to communicate complex legal concepts well to a jury and judge. He also works very well with the CEO, CFO, and other company management. I have observed that he is well respected by the legal profession, including the judges and arbitrators he has argued in front of. He diligently studies the case facts and gains an in-depth knowledge of documents and transcripts, providing him credibility and agility in hearings and trial. He is well worth his rates.
