Barry R. Lewis

I often was left asking questions that received Zero answers. I paid $2000 flat for a uncontested divorce, and our introduction seemed great.but it took a couple months to get the ball rolling and I had to be persistent on asking for my ex spouses signature. Noone cares more about your situation than... you, so Im glad I was persistent. Otherwide it was going to continue moving at a snail pace. Almost every single email that I sent with a question , was completely unanswered or given random information that was not related to said question(s). Eventually I called and after talking for 7 minutes the call dropped mid sentence, I called back 4 times and followed up with emails and had ZERO response, acknowledgement or apology for them ending the call while they were in the middle of their sentence. Ironically it was in the middle of them answers the SAME QUESTIONS that were ignored via email. I happen to video record the whole call (i had it on speaker phone with a in person witness as well) and showed to another lawyer and asked for legal advice and if they could take over for me and they offered to do so. The only hold back was by this point I had a court date already set and didnt want to start the process over let alone pay for a whole new lawyer. By the end of it I was not provided a divorce decree and was told to get it myself from the court house even though it was agreed upon to be apart of what I hired a DIVORCE lawyer for. What divorce lawyer doesn’t have their client leave with a divorce decree? How hard is it to obtain the document and mail it to the client? Not to mention the incompetence to send email without typos…he even spell his own name wrong… how frustrating. My now husband and I had to wait so long to have my divorce officially happen from my abusive ex husband and half the time waited felt like it was due to these slow responses and lack of persistence. If i could go back I would spend the extra couple thousand to get a lawyer that listens to my concerns and answers questions rather than ghosting me at times. Good riddance to the ex husband and the ridiculous process it took to get through it.

At first he was very nice, when I visit his office, after that’s went my case came to court he always was late, the last day of court when I want to read my rights he hit my left arm and told me that’s I don’t had to do that because he did it, I don’t know anything about it and I did what he told me ...to do. I do not recommend this lawyer .

Txt him 6 weeks before my hearing. He texted me back the night before my hearing. Always took forever to answer me only after me trying multiple times. Then charges me for all the emails. On the hearing day he was late and didn't represent my interest right. No wonder that's what happens when you txt... someone back the night before the hearing and have no glue what's going on. Big big mistake hiring him. Lesson learned!!

I dealt with Atty. Lewis for almost 2 years. During that course of time my ex wife got everything she wanted every single time we went to court. He advised me not to pay a bill at on point and it caused me to be arrested!!!!! He came to court both disheveled and unkempt. At one point I was awarded a ...sizeable amount from a escrow account the exs attorney wrote the check to myself and lewis. Additionally the judgment did not mention my ex getting a nickel however he said nothing when her attorney gave her a check for the same amount and also refused to endorse my check until he got a nice chunk of it. He threatened on multiple occasions to withdraw from my case and finally did approximately 3 weeks before the trial. As a result of that I was forced to concede to all my ex wife's lawyers demands and basically lost everything I worked my entire life for. I felt at points during this two years of hell that Lewis was actually on my wifes lawyers payroll it was so bad. This was not my only experience with Atty Lewis, he also represented a close female friend of mine who under his representation lost everything as well. In a settlement she was awarded the house but due to Lewis's ineptness he never negotiated anything with the mortgage that was in her uncooperative ex husbands name so the mortgage company would not even talk to her or send her the bills, the house ended up going into foreclosure then her ex husband went into court and had her and her 2 kids kicked out of it. Also in that case her ex husband cashed in a retirement pension of over 120,000 forging her name to a document and by the time his office subpoenaed the records the money was gone the ex husband ended up with the house and all the retirement money he stole. Lewis never even asked for alimony for her in a 10 year plus marriage!!! In my case Lewis claimed that that's how the courts system treats men in divorce court and that by the luck of the draw I got a pro woman judge. Lewis represented both of us a man and a woman in two different courts before two different judges and we both lost everything. Atty. Barry Lewis does not care one iota about his clients, he has no sympathy for what they are going through his only concern is his fees and settling cases quickly and moving on to the next payday. Bottom Line..... "when the going gets tough Lewis bails"!!!!!!
