  • Detroit, MI (1888PressRelease) July 20, 2011 - H. Joel Newman, a high-profile attorney who has successfully litigated some of the largest shareholder and partnership disputes in Michigan, two involving more than $1 billion in assets, has established a new law firm that bears his name and specializes in complex cases such as commercial litigation, attorney malpractice and stockbroker fraud.

    Newman, a founding member and shareholder of Hyman Lippitt PC, has won multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements for his clients, including the defense of an automotive company in a case brought by two major mobile home manufacturers seeking more than $1 billion in damages. Newman secured dismissal of more than 90 percent of the claims and settled the remainder for nuisance value.

    "At this point in my career, I am grateful that I now have the ability to focus my work solely on trials and litigation and less on management," Newman said.

    Newman is a University of Michigan Law School graduate and holds a bachelor's degree from Wayne State University, where he was selected to join Phi Beta Kappa, a prestigious academic honor society that promotes excellence in liberal arts and sciences at American universities and colleges.

    He is a member of the State Bar of Michigan (Masters, Business Law, Litigation and Real Property Sections), the American Constitution Society, and the Oakland County Bar Association.
