About Laurie L
Laurie L Newmark built a steady career in New Jersey family law. She is known in local legal circles for a long record of practice at one firm and for holding the state’s matrimonial law certification.
She earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1995 and completed her juris doctor at Seton Hall University School of Law in 1998. That academic path set her toward family law practice and local bar involvement soon after graduation.
Newmark began her legal career as an associate in 1999 at Cutler, Simeone & Townsend, L.L.C. She became a partner in 2004 when the firm’s name expanded to Cutler, Simeone, Townsend, Tomaio & Newmark, L.L.C. In 2009 she continued in private practice as a partner at Townsend, Tomaio & Newmark, L.L.C. Those roles have defined her professional life for more than two decades and shaped her courtroom and negotiation work.
She is licensed in both New Jersey and New York and is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Lawyer. That certification signals a formal recognition by the state of specific competence in matrimonial matters. She has been active in professional groups since the late 1990s, including membership in the American Trial Lawyers Association, the American Bar Association, the New Jersey State Bar Association, and county bar family law committees. Her work in local associations stretches across Morris County and, earlier, Essex County family law circles.
Colleagues describe Newmark as methodical in case preparation and pragmatic in settlement discussions. Her practice addresses the practical problems that arise in divorce and family disputes, including child custody and parenting time, child and spousal support, and equitable distribution of assets. She handles both negotiated resolutions and contested proceedings, drawing on experience developed over years of practice in state courts.
Outside the courtroom, Newmark has been a steady presence at local bar events and family law forums. Her long tenure at a single firm reflects a continuity of client relationships and institutional knowledge of family law practice in the region. She continues to serve clients from the Townsend, Tomaio & Newmark, L.L.C. office, concentrating on matrimonial and family law matters.
