amazing professional

I had an outstanding warrant for over 13 years and had no knowledge of it. I recently moved to NC and was in the process of obtaining a pistol permit when I was informed by the local sheriff that I had this warrant. I contacted several lawyers in the MA area and Mr. Lewin was the only one who respond...ed in a very timely manner. I informed him of the situation and he immediately got to work finding out the particulars. Once he spoke with the DA he contacted me and gave me a worst and best case scenario. Two days later he contacted me again and informed me that he had taken care of my legal troubles and that I would not have to take time out of my schedule to travel back north to deal with the situation. He took just four days (to include a sat. and sun.) to learn my story, contact all appropriate parties involved and have the case dismissed. The price he charged was lower than most consultation fees fro someones service. During these four days three other local attorney's that I left messages with contacted me with extraordinarily high costs to deal with the issue. All three informed me that I would also need to come back and take care of it in court. Robert has done an amazing job and I would undoubtedly refer him to anyone needing legal help, and praise him on his professionalism. This man will definitely be a great asset to anyone in the area who is in need of a lawyer. I give him 5 STARS for his work without question. AMAZING LAWYER TO HAVE IN YOUR CORNER!!

"Lewin the Litigating Legend"

You may think my review title is a bit of an exaggeration, however, if you decide to hire Attorney Lewin to represent you, you'll soon find out that he is nothing short of a legend when it comes to the law and making it work for you. Time and time again you hear people saying things like the Justice... system is terrible and we all heard of that one person who got a raw deal when it came to the final result of going to court. Let Mr. Lewin represent you and you will be quick to learn that there are no problems with our Justice system, there are however a lot of "so-called" lawyers out there that just barely passed the BAR exam, have little to no knowledge of the law, nor the ability to argue and/or negotiate a case like Attorney Lewin can. He is very smart and very well respected in his field. When we first met, I had no idea what to expect. I sat with him in his office and he started to ask me general questions about myself and then he had me tell him my story of events that pertained to my case. He listened silently and took notes as I spoke. When I was done giving him every detail he asked me specific questions and explained my story back to me. I could tell from that moment I was dealing with a professional who knew his stuff and was very thorough in his work and about making sure he understood my side of the story and how it went down. He explained the charges at great length, even went as far as printing out chapters and sections of the law that pertained to my case as well as explaining the possible outcomes and possible punishments that i could be facing. I will admit, this whole situation feasted on my nerves but after my consultation with Mr. Lewin, I felt better knowing that I was hiring a well educated, sharp and quick witted individual who could take on my case with a confident "Business As Usual" attitude. Mr. Lewin answered every question I had and even supplied me with his cell phone number if I had a question for him after business hours or on weekends. I dont know how he did it but he even got me to crack a smile when my life felt like it was going to pieces. The day of court arrived and I entered the courtroom with him and he assured me that the case would go well. Just to walk alongside such a well respected and educated professional within the legal community made me feel proud and honored. I knew I had made the right choice in choosing Lewin. Mr. Lewin is a class act all around. He made my life so much easier by advising, listening, knowing the actual laws, explaining everything, answering any and all questions, cracking a joke when appropriate, being available at any time I needed him, and devising a plan of action and strategy for my case. He is not just an exceptional attorney with an abundance of knowledge, he is an extraordinary human being that exudes class, finesse, intellect, tact and professionalism. The outcome of my case was a good one just as he assured me. I couldnt have asked for a better outcome and I know for certain it wouldnt have played out the way it did if it hadnt been for Mr. Lewin and his services. Do not hesitate to hire him for legal representation. This man knows his stuff and is always prepared to bring his clients to victory. He is simply the best of the best and I am honored to know him. It is unfortunate that I had to meet him under the circumstances in which I did but thats how life goes. The right people are put in your path at the precise moment you need them. If you are undecided on an attorney, I hope my recommendation will help with your decision. I am blessed to have met and worked with him and I believe I must pay it forward to you. I have been in your shoes, scared, confused, undecided and in disarray. Let me help you help yourself during this trying time, If you want win, pick Lewin. Good luck and warmest regards to all of you and a special thanks to Mr. Lewin.

great job

Mr Lewin did an excellent job with my son's indecent assault case. He made a very difficult situation much easier for the whole family. His kindness and professionalism before and during the trial was very impressive and appreciated. He kept us informed by email, mail,and phone through the whole pro...cess. He was articulate and to the point during the trial and painted a very simple picture of what actually happened,leaving no doubt to my son's innocence. Our case finished with a not guilty verdict, 18 minutes after the trial ended. We are very thankful to Mr Lewin for his hard work and extreme competence.
