You probably have a consultation with us coming up. Here is our founder’s answer, and why, before your call.

Our founder, Gordon Newton, has spent more than two decades working with timeshare owners. His answer is yes. Below is why, in his own words.
Every situation is different, and your consultation looks at yours. But the question to ask any company is the same: who does the attorney actually represent?
If you are trying to get out of a timeshare, I believe you should have an attorney who personally represents you from the beginning.
Your attorney. Representing you, the timeshare owner. From the beginning.
A timeshare isn’t simply a vacation product you no longer want. At the center of the ownership is a legally binding agreement that can involve contractual obligations, financing, maintenance fees, deeds, real estate interests and other legal documents.
The agreement is legally binding from the beginning. The value of having an attorney represent you begins there too.
Timeshare developers have lawyers. Those lawyers protect the developer’s interests. They do not represent the timeshare owner.
In my opinion, the owner should have an attorney whose professional duties are owed directly to the owner.
But when you become an attorney’s client, the relationship is different. The attorney’s professional duties are owed directly to you. That includes duties involving loyalty, confidentiality and independent professional judgment within the scope of the representation.
Attorney involvement is not the same as attorney representation. Access to a lawyer is not the same as having your own lawyer.
A salesperson can make you a promise. Your lawyer owes you a professional duty to protect and prioritize your interests throughout the exit process.
And that is why my answer is yes.
Every client enters a separate attorney-client relationship with a licensed attorney at the leading timeshare consumer-rights law firm that shares common ownership with Newton Group.
You receive a written Letter of Representation, so there is no guessing about who represents you.
In Gordon Newton’s words: duties involving loyalty, confidentiality and independent professional judgment within the scope of the representation.
Your attorney represents you. Not Newton Group, and not the sales team.
Your timeshare contract is legally binding and generally carries real financial obligations. Here is the difference between attorney involvement and attorney representation.
| Standard exit company model: ask them | Newton Group model | |
|---|---|---|
| Attorney-client agreement in writing? | Ask to see it | Yes, a written Letter of Representation |
| Who discusses the legal issues? | Ask if they are licensed | Your attorney |
| How is it priced? | Ask what each layer costs | Fewer layers, a guaranteed better price* |
Stronger protection, better service and a guaranteed better price.
*Bring us a qualifying written quote for comparable services and we will beat it by 20% or more, guaranteed.
These depend on your own ownership and situation, so they are answered one to one, not on a web page.
You may get a text or a call from us before your consultation. Reply or pick up and you are all set.
Your resort, how you bought, what you pay each year, whether there is a loan, and what you want to happen next.
You will hear plainly which options may fit your ownership and whether we think our process is right for you.
If you decide to move forward, the full cost comes to you in writing before you commit to anything, and you sign a separate engagement with a licensed attorney who represents you.
A real advisor answers, Monday to Friday. If your time no longer works, call and we will move it. Already had your call? We are glad to go over anything again.
