Doug Newborn Law Firm, PLLC

Rene was exceptionally courteous,very knowledgeable and patient. I was put at ease right away. I'm very grateful for the help. Would highly recommend them for your legal matters. greg.

This firm was amazing representing my wife and her sister in a case that seemed doomed early on. We found Doug and his team and it changed everything. Thanks to all @ the firm. Great people.

Rene was very caring and informative. He patiently answered our questions and told us what was to come through the probate process.

What a legal journey. My sister and I were appointed a fiduciary who was difficult in the extreme. We wrestled long and hard over legal representation. Many calls to Doug and staff. The patience with us (and the case) displayed by Doug and his staff was exemplary. Once we hired Doug my stress levels subsided. More important was his skill before the court. Like watching an episode of Law & Order. Amazing. We are grateful to have had him in our corner. Most important, he won the case. Thank you Doug and staff.

I was on telephone call only because I'm in California. They were very helpful and answered all my questions

Rene helped me understand my situation by looking up and explaining my paperwork to me. So I’m a bit more hopeful in my circumstances.

Worst firm ever! I regret hiring them. They are not supportive. They’re rude and can’t remember anything. The paralegal does things out of anger. To threaten their own client is insane work.

During a difficult time in my family’s life after losing a loved one, we reached out to Rene Baca and his firm. From the very beginning, they were compassionate, understanding, and incredibly easy to work with. Rene Baca was professional, responsive, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, giving us peace of mind when we needed it most. We are truly grateful for his guidance and support. I highly recommend Rene Baca and his firm to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy attorney.

If you happen to be going through a divorce and want to write a new will that removes your ex as a beneficiary or a medical power of attorney holder or a living will trustee, DO NOT use this firm. I was wanting to remove my soon-to-be ex husband from these things to ensure he didn't benefit from my death, nor see to it that I did die. His lawyers answer to that was that I needed to wait because he would only get half and my children would get the other half after going through the stress and expense of probate. I'm sure he would volunteer to handle that probate and eat up as much of my estate as he could.

I had a consultation with Daniel Ahn today, and unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience. He was polite, but I didn’t find the conversation very insightful. I had one specific question I was hoping to get clarity on, and I had to keep redirecting the discussion back to it, as we spent a lot of time on topics we were already aware of and informed about. I tend to communicate in a direct and to-the-point manner, and I think that may have come across as rude, which was not my intention. I was simply trying to focus on the reason for my call. Again, he was kind and professional, but the conversation felt unfocused and not as productive as I had hoped.

Rene was great. To the point, informative and very knowledgeable.

I have used Douglas’s services on more than one occasion. I am an attorney practicing in another state, but he was most helpful, knowledgeable and effective in handling some probate matters for my mother who lived in Arizona. I highly recommend him and his firm.

I had a consultation 10/1/2025. I was told they required a 7K retainer to do guardianship case for very disabled brother. I was encouraged to download Clio app for messaging. After several messages, phone calls and emails NOTHING has happened and no explanation. Not sure but appears to be a scam! Thought we were referred to legit practice by reputable family estate attorney

Rene was of immense help in summarizing and advising me of my legal options.

Thank you Doug for being very thorough while explaining my options. In addition to, letting me know that you are willing to fight for me to have the best outcome regarding my situation.

UPDATE: After speaking to the office they were apologetic regarding the lack of communication and information. I explained my position and they were understanding and stated that they would look into the issues regarding the delay of information. Very pleased with their response. I went with this law firm to help with a deed transfer upon death and so far I have to say the communication has been terrible. They stated they were going to send an email confirming the details of what was going to happen before the call, which they did not do. I even called to see if the email address was wrong but it was not. Then they stated that they would send the email of the paperwork so I can hire a notary to have it completed but still nothing yet. They were quick to take my $450, but will not respond when there is a question. Sooo disappointed with the whole thing. My family is already going through alot and to add this to the pile is just the cherry on the Sunday. All we were asking for is communication but unfortunately thats not how they operate. If you are looking for someone to help with estate issues I recommend looking else where.

Have no issue with the firm as a whole even though they ended up dropping my case. I think they did a great job for no money up front so props for that. Doug tried to work with me regarding payments. After I did not read the contract for probate guardianship as well as I should have before signing(read closely). Which I take full accountability for. Also, Suzanne took a lot of her time to answer all questions I had and was very detailed. Thanks to the firm for your hard work. I’m sorry there were issues with the payment regarding my mom’s business account, and the decision not to sell the home. Everything will get squared away soon with the payment. Have a happy new year.

Dear Mr. Newborn, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the guidance and support I’ve received from Mr. Rumsley and the support staff (Laura, Amanda and Salina) as we work through the estate matters. Their responsiveness and steady assistance have made a challenging process much more manageable, and I am grateful for the clarity and professionalism they’ve provided. It’s not over by any means but wanted you to know how much I value the leadership and structure that you’ve put in place. It’s been reassuring to have such a capable team walking alongside me during this process. Thank you again for your oversight and for ensuring that the estate is handled with care and diligence. Warm regards, Robert A. McAllister-Personal Rep

Outstanding law firm. They helped our family during a very challenging time. Thank you, Doug!
