"Richard is your secret weapon in defending against FTC & AG inquiries...and comes highly-recommended. He helped our industry leading online education business to obtain a favorable resolution and closure of an aggressive agency investigation within our modest budget and without a penalty or further action. ‎His government investigation and regulatory defense insights are second to none.”

"Richard Newman came highly recommended when I was served a CID by the FTC. He is extremely knowledgeable about FTC matters and is passionate about defending clients in FTC cases. Richard speaks truthfully, and I particularly admire that he always acts in good faith.  He was  always mindful about minimizing his billable hours because he is so considerate of his clients' legal expenses. The best part is that my case with the FTC resulted in a settlement amount that was a small fraction of what it would have been if I had not had Richard. I am extremely pleased with the outcome --  Richard is a rockstar!"

Digital Marketer

"Richard Newman really cares. I came to him as a result of a CID from the FTC. I carefully read reviews of multiple attorneys and found that Richard appeared to have the most experience in this field … During our first call he immediately demonstrated to me that he knew this territory well. He took time to explain what the process was, and his ways of approaching similar cases in the past. I was reassured by the breadth and depth of knowledge in this area … Through the four months of the response to the CID, Richard lawyered, wordsmithed and performed general magicry that somehow transformed my clumsy responses into beautifully presented effective legal narratives. Richard both cared and took incredible pride in his work. He was in the trenches with me and fought for me above and beyond my expectations. The end result was a home run – the investigation was closed. My experience with Richard was truly life changing … Rest assured that Richard has the experience, motivation and heart to get you through this."
