Education and career

She became a partner in the matrimonial law and divorce law firm in 2005 at the age of 31, and eventually a marquee partner, resulting in the firm's renaming as Berkman Bottger Newman & Rodd.[2][3][4] She has worked as the hiring manager for the firm[5] and is currently the Managing Partner.[6] She has also taught seminars at The Center for Understanding Conflict in New York City,[7] the Redwoods Initiative, as well as classes in matrimonial law at Fordham University School of Law.[3]

Media

Newman has been interviewed regarding common mistakes spouses make during divorce by publications including MSN.com[8] and Woman's Day, where she warned that using an attorney versed in family law instead of one specializing in a different form of law is important when choosing a divorce lawyer.[9] In the Huffington Post Newman warned against the use of social media to berate one's spouse during or after a divorce, in order to avoid unintended financial consequences.[10] The Post also interviewed her regarding the strange things some couples argue over during divorce proceedings.[11] In 2010 she was named one of the New York's Women Leaders in the Law by New York Magazine[12] and in 2012 she was a featured lawyer in Super Lawyers Magazine.[3] She has also been featured on AOL on Business, where she discussed the use of prenuptial agreements[13] and in Glamour Magazine.[14]
