A graduate of Ohio University and Capital University Law School, Joel founded The Newby Law Office in 2020. As the Managing Attorney, he represents clients in a wide range of matters with a focus on small business law, contract law, construction law, and civil litigation. He takes pride in helping individuals, entrepreneurs, and growing companies navigate legal challenges with confidence and clarity.
Outside of work, Joel enjoys the simple things in life—especially mowing the yard on a sunny morning and spending time outside playing with Cooper. Whether they're playing outside, hitting baseballs, or exploring Grove City's parks, those moments remind him why strong, connected communities matter.
When he's not practicing law or enjoying time with family, Joel follows local issues and supports initiatives that make Grove City a safer, smarter, and more vibrant place to live.- My career as an attorney has positioned me to understand the needs of Grove City and how to execute the goals of citizens.
- I will be a vocal advocate for the people of Grove City.
- I understand how laws and economic growth come together to cause roadblocks to city goals, so I know how to overcome those roadblocks.
I believe in actually listening to Grove City residents instead of ignoring their concerns.
