I reached out to Richard when an action was filed against me by the FTC. As we discussed my case, he quickly went over the steps that had to be taken and gave me a clear outline of my options. His vast knowledge of the affiliate marketing industry and experience with FTC matters led me to believe my defense was in good hands. I felt at ease for the first time and quickly retained his services. During the year long case, it was like Richard was fighting for a friend, as well as a client. He was candid and kept me well informed at every step. His guidance helped me make informed decisions that were clearly going to impact my future. He handled everything efficiently and generously gave of his time to travel and prepare me for my hearing testimony - which without his help - I would not have been comfortable providing. Simply put, Richard is a powerhouse lawyer with unmatched knowledge of internet advertising law. His good working relationships with FTC staff attorneys were also apparent, as it seemed they were always courteous and willing to consider his requests. This was extremely beneficial for the ultimate outcome of my case. I am glad he was in my corner to aggressively defend me. I strongly recommend his services to anyone in the digital marketing space. Especially in the case of an FTC matter - or if you require highly ethical and professional guidance from a lawyer that is generous with his time. Richard, I am pleased with the results you delivered and sincerely appreciate everything you have done. Thank you!

Richard Newman came highly recommended by my transaction attorney when I was served a CID by the FTC. Within the first 10 minutes of speaking with him on the phone, I knew he was the best lawyer to represent me in the FTC investigation because he's extremely knowledgeable about FTC matters and is passionate about defending clients in FTC cases. Upon engaging his services, I relied on his expert advice in successfully navigating the precarious regulatory landscape and its potential land mines -- and that reduced my stress levels considerably because I knew we were proceeding in the best possible path. Richard speaks truthfully, and I particularly admire that he always acts in good faith. I also liked the fact that he was always mindful about minimizing his billable hours because he's 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 to navigate the terrain and negotiate on my behalf. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome -- Richard is a rockstar!
