William J. Newstad, Esq., Attorney and Counselor at Law
Member
Since I started my law practice in 1997, my intention has been to connect with my clients to fulfill their needs. I consider myself an average person fortunate to have the opportunity to master a profession that allows me to serve. I know that most average folks don’t have regular contact with attorneys or the court system, nor do they have an in-depth understanding of the law. I take seriously my role as educator, informing my clients of all pertinent aspects of the law that may affect their personal and business objectives. Only a fully informed client can make the best decision or commit to a necessary course of action. The title of my firm, William J. Newstad, Esq., Attorney and Counselor at Law, serves to remind me of the awesome responsibility I bear in service to you, my client.
