We Empower Our Clients to Stand Up for their Rights


    "They Speak My Language"
    Tom Newkirk and his firm are experts on the state of college athletics and the type of bias that coaches and especially female coaches deal with on daily bases. They speak a language that anyone can understand.
    - Petra M.
    "They Truly Cared"
    I was represented by both Jill Zwagerman and Newkirk Zwagerman Law Firm better than I could have ever imagined. Over two years they prepared me to the fullest degree. They truly cared about my needs and opinions.
    - Stephanie T.
    "They Helped Return my Faith in Humanity"

    They helped me through an exhaustive process and understand things that even I found confusing as a physician. They not only had a lasting effect on my life, but every patient I will treat in the future...ever!

    - Catherine H.
    "Fighting the Good Fight"
    Tom is passionate about exposing biases and helping women fight the good fight. Without his guidance, I have no doubt I would not be sitting in where I am now. He made sure that I was prepared.

    "No One I'd Recommend More"
    We came to Jill Zwagerman and were met with compassion, calm, intelligence and a fierce dedication to legally hold our offenders accountable.  Jill walked us through the entire process leading us with confidence and compence.
