Professional, no fuss, no fluff. Just results!

I hired Barry R Lewis of Massachusetts to help me bring my divorce to an end after 6 arduous years. Barry was wonderfully informative at our 30 minute consultation. His intimate knowledge of the courts, processing times, and his decades of experience in Massachusetts Divorce was apparent and I felt n...o hesitation in selecting him as my lawyer. Once I paid my retainer, Barry made very swift progress with my paperwork, and secured a pre-trial date for me right away. Despite the other party in my divorce playing time-wasting games, Barry and Sue were able to keep us on-track, at a price my family could afford, and did not show any of the negative or unscrupulous behaviors often associated with lawyers, such as racking up unnecessary fees. On the day of court, Barry was truly a rockstar and had my case seen by the judge right away. He was swift, professional, stuck to the facts and spoke with authority on my case. I was able to walk away a free and divorced woman within 5 minutes of being up in front of the judge. His final bill was fair, and I do truly and heartily recommend him and his team for anyone seeking divorce in MA. Thank you Barry, Sue, and Kate. I am eternally grateful for your services!

The worst lawyer i have ever dealt with !!!!!Avoid!!!!

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"!!!!!!

A professional who listens and cares

I had been going through a divorce for almost 2 years, the case had delays and I was so tired and frustrated, that I fired my attorney. Someone recommended I call Barry, they had wonderful results. He listed to my concerns and knew the other lawyer and the judge. He specializes in divorce, and reall...y had great insight into the legal system. He offered a realistic approach, suggested we obtain a GAL to help me obtain custody of my children. He quickly moved on the case, and for the first time I felt there was hope. Within 6 months, my case was settled. Barry and his team were so caring, they know that family is everything. An honest attorney who you can trust, no games, just experience and professionalism. I owe him so much.

Experienced lawyer who knows divorce!

My divorce was turning ugly, and I knew I needed to change lawyers. Barry Lewis was recommended by a friend and from my first meeting I knew he would ensure my interests were met. He explained how the court time would work, reviewed my options for visitation and support. He was able to get temporary... orders for child support very quickly. His staff was very supportive. Emails and phone calls were answered promptly and he held meetings during evening hours and weekends, so I could manage this process while working full time. Once Attorney Lewis took over my case, things began moving quickly and my final settlement was more than I had anticipated, thanks to his experience in divorce. I am so grateful that I found an attorney that specializes in divorce. Hiring him made all the difference to my life.

So thankful I hired Attorney Lewis

Attorney Lewis and his staff are professional, considerate, and caring. In my situation they spent a good deal time of time explaining the process, assisting me through each step, and providing emotional support. If it wasn't for their expertise in divorce I don't know if I would have gotten the visi...tation I needed with my children. I can't speak highly enough of Mr. Lewis, and I would recommend his firm to anyone going through a difficult divorce.
