Our Historic Law Office

For the past twenty years, our law firm has resided in the historic building located at 304 East Jones Street in Raleigh. The building was built circa 1878 and is now formally known as the Lewis-Joyner House, named in part after James Y. Joyner, former superintendent and pioneer of education in North Carolina. Following the civil war, many of the then business and political leaders of North Carolina acquired and resided in homes in this area.

The building is a registered Raleigh Historic Landmark. Its originality sets it apart from other historic structures in the area, and the building is well recognized by many Wake County residents. A particularly distinguishing characteristic is the building’s cupola; a common detail found in the Victorian and Second Empire style homes of its era. Some of our guests enjoy venturing up the very steep set of stairs to take in a stunning view of the Capital City.

The Lewis-Joyner House still retains a blue porch ceiling to resemble the sky and, according to Southern folklore, to scare flies away. It sits directly southeast of the Executive Mansion, home of the Governor since it was built more than a decade after construction of 304 East Jones Street.

I had a great experience closing at this office! Elizabeth stepped in and successfully handled a transaction that my clients’ original attorney was unfamiliar with. Thanks to her knowledge, professionalism, and efficiency, we were able to close in less than a week! I truly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her services!

Our experience with Newman & Newman has been devastating. During a real estate closing handled by their office, a $571,000 loan payoff was misdirected following an email compromise, and the changed payoff information was not independently verified before the funds were wired. We are a small real estate development business, and the consequences of an error of this magnitude have been enormous. Four months later, this matter is still not resolved and we remain out a significant amount of money with a loan remaining unpaid accruing interest daily. What has made an already TERRIBLE situation even worse has been what we have experienced as a complete lack of urgency, proactive communication and accountability from the firm. Given the seriousness of what happened, we expected someone to take ownership of the situation, communicate with us consistently and do everything possible to bring it to a prompt resolution. Instead, we have repeatedly had to chase for information while months have passed. Mistakes can happen in any business. What matters enormously is how a business responds when something goes catastrophically wrong. Four months into this ordeal, we do not feel Newman & Newman has taken responsibility for the impact this has had on us or demonstrated the urgency this situation deserves. This has caused genuine financial and personal heartache and harm for us, and based on our experience, we simply cannot recommend this firm. We hope to be able to update this review with a better rating if we get this resolved in the near future.

I recently worked with Newman & Newman PLLC on the seller side of a transaction and really enjoyed working with their team. They were very responsive, followed up quickly, and made everything easy on my end. It’s always nice to work with people who communicate well and stay on top of things. I’d be happy to work with them again!

Love love love using Newman and Newman for real estate closings. Communication is always fantastic and they really take the time to help people understand what they’re signing. Hunter was amazing recently with clients of mine, walking them through a new construction contract before signing. And Elizabeth is never too busy to answer any questions I have!

I've been a Realtor since 2007 and Newman & Newman PLLC is the best closing firm there is! I cannot say enough good things about the Newmans and lead paralegal Cecil Bell. They always make time for my questions, take time to educate my clients, conduct closings thoroughly, explaining everything in detail to ensure my buyers and sellers feel completely comfortable. Their professionalism, patience, and expertise make even the most complex transactions seamless. Elizabeth is a bloodhound with title searches and survey review. I highly recommend their team to anyone looking for reliable, top-tier legal representation in North Carolina - with a very approachable and friendly southern charm! I just love Newman and Newman PLLC. Key Highlights of Their Service: * Unmatched expertise in real estate law and closings. * Exceptional communication and responsiveness to inquiries. * Strong commitment to client education throughout the transaction process. * Thorough and meticulous approach to document review and explanation. * Highly supportive and professional staff, specifically lead paralegal Cecil Bell.

My clients closed on the sale of their home and piggybacked on the buyer's chosen attorney for their deed and lien waiver prep. Meredith was perhaps the best part of the entire transaction, preparing the documents with accuracy and providing the opportunity to sign ahead of the closing date to meet the requirements of their move to SC. I was impressed by the communication and, moreover, by the professionalism with a dose of genuine kindness. Meredith engaged beautifully with their daughter about common interests and generally made the appointment pleasant and affable, which was a welcome surprise in real estate transactions. We are grateful to the firm for handling things so beautifully. After 16 years in the business, I was pleased to find a new firm to add to my list!

I have worked with Elizabeth and Cecil for years now and Newman & Newman has always been and will continue to be my go-to closing attorneys. They are proactive, responsive and above all caring. They want to see their clients succeed and achieve the goal of home-ownership. That is what I look for in a closing attorney when it comes to my buyer clients. As a real estate agent, I can rest assure that the final step in my client's milestone will be handled with care using Newman & Newman.

I have had the absolute pleasure and honor to work with Newman and Newman for years. As an agent that has been in the business for 20 years it s nice to have a law firm that you can call at any point and get straight and honest answers from at anytime of the day. They not only treat agents with the utmost respect but they treat our buyer and sellers clients as if they are the only clients they have that day. They never make you feel rushed, they never let you leave the conference room until all questions are answered and all partied fee good and confident with what has taken place. I highly reccomend this Law Firm!! Hands Down!

Elizabeth is a joy to work with. No matter the transaction both her and Cecil make sure you are taken care of. I have worked with them for years and they have closed many of my own personal transactions. If you ever need an attorney for any of your real estate needs, Elizabeth would be my Frist call!
