Jared Cranston

I’m truly thankful for Phil Newman, Andrea McCoy, Lauren Moss and their entire team for the guidance and support throughout this process. Phil and Andrea are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional. Their accessibility and insight were calming during what can be an overwhelming experience at times. They were consistently responsive and understanding – listening to my concerns and making sure I felt comfortable both legally and personally. Phil’s approachability and diligence gave me assurance I’d be on solid ground moving forward. He truly cared about what was important to me through, and post-divorce. I sincerely appreciated Lauren’s expertise and availability for mediation. She stepped in with Phil and delivered on a challenging day. They have an amazing staff with Julie, Alisha and Rachel – help making this difficult situation as easy to navigate as possible.
I’d highly recommend a conversation – great firm with better people who truly care.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Phil Newman at Puryear, Newman and Morton. He is a force to be reckoned with during mediation, and also takes time to get to know you personally to serve as the best advocate for you! I can't say enough good things! Advice is given with care and concern, and while sometimes hard to process, everything turned out 100% as Phil said it would. Trust the process. Trust Phil. He explains everything thoroughly and I finished this divorce process feeling happy, empowered, and strong - thanks so much to Phil and his amazing team!

I was referred to Phil by a family friend, and I'm so grateful for the recommendation. Phil and his team—Julie, Andrea, and Rachel—were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. They always took the time to answer my questions and explain things clearly, which made a difficult situation much easier to handle. I felt supported and confident with Phil and his team by my side. If you're looking for a compassionate and skilled divorce lawyer, I highly recommend Phil and his team!

Phil Newman was recommended to me by a lawyer in Maury County. I scheduled an appointment and met with Phil. He was down to earth and was truly concerned about my impending divorce. The process was started and I met his 3 paralegals, Andrea McCoy, Rachel Oglesby and Julie Ennis. During the process I mainly worked with Phil and Andrea. I knew that I could reach out to any of them with questions and concerns and I would be contacted that day. At times the process was emotionally draining but they were always concerned and willing to coach me through it. It was a team effort and they felt like family to me. I HIGHLY recommend Phil, Andrea and crew.

STRONG REFERRAL - as in I followed the advice of a dear and trusted friend to use Phil as my divorce attorney. I'm grateful that I followed this good, orderly advice/direction.
Phil and his team's expertise, acumen, experience, professionalism, diligent efforts, and sincere care for me came together to give me a measure of peace during a time of extraordinary turmoil. Phil, Andrea, Julie and Rachel were all tremendous from the beginning. Always going over and above the call of duty - without the slightest need for prompting.
The best services anywhere in the world are those that secure their business through word of mouth/referral. Phil and his team are simply exceptional.

Kate Jacks

I can’t count the number of times through the divorce process where I could hear Phil’s voice, his calm, assertive but rational advice, guiding me through the really hard times.
Phil’s entire team provided amazing support, response times, availability, wisdom and results. They are simply the best.

When I needed a lawyer for my divorce, I knew Phil Newman was the right choice. Not only did I know him by his reputation but I had several friends who were very happy with the work he had done for them. Phil’s team, Andrea McCoy, Rachel Oglesby and Julie Ennis are all excellent to work with and had the necessary knowledge that guided me through the divorce process. Each of them took the time to educate me on the process and to help me compile the information I needed. My hours were often difficult to work with and Andrea went above and beyond in accommodating me. Julie and Rachel kept me informed and were always willing to answer any questions I had. Phil has been a pleasure to work with, always attentive to my needs and questions. He went out of his way to make time for me, recognizing my busy schedule. He guided me through the divorce process with kindness and patience and he worked hard to get my case settled with a reasonable solution for both parties. I would recommend Phil and his exceptional team to anyone without hesitation.

I RECOMMEND PURYEAR, NEWMAN, AND MORTON WITHOUT RESERVATION.

Phil Newman was my legal counsel throughout a divorce that lasted more than two years (through no fault of Phil’s). It was one of the most difficult seasons of my adult life. Throughout the entire process, literally every time I left a meeting with Phil, I was less stressed than I was going in. He consistently told me “Jim, this is what’s going to happen” and he was right every single time. He was tough but also respectful and fair to everyone I saw him interact with. Perhaps most importantly, in addition to being a great lawyer he is a good man. I liked the way he treated his family, co-workers, and even the opposing attorneys and by the end of my time with him I had developed a 100% trust in him and his advice (something I can say about very very few people).

Andrea McCoy is also a top-notch attorney. She is tough, extremely intelligent, thoughtful, and confidence inspiring. She represented me in court on the day of my divorce hearing and if I ever have to walk into a courtroom again for any reason, I would be happy to have her represent me.

Chas Morton, Julie Ennis, Rachel Oglesby and the rest of the Puryear, Newman, and Morton team were also amazing to interact with. Thank you all!!!
