Amazing work, out of state, no travel, resolved almost instantly!

OK...Atty Lewin was AMAZING! I am originally from MA but moved to FL in 2002. Have never had a license issue, but when I went to renew, I had a stop based on the driver registry for a warrant out of Woburn, MA. from 15 years ago. I called a few ATTY's and all said I had to go to MA, sorry can't ...help you. NOT ATTY LEWIN. Spoke with him on a late Friday and he was straight forward and confident that he would resolve this matter for me. Just speaking to Atty Lewin you knew he was good and knew what he was doing. A couple of emails later he was retained, I wired his fee Friday afternoon. He said he would go to Woburn court Monday morning and present to the Judge/Court a motion to waive my appearance, have the warrant recalled, and my case dismissed. HERES THE Reality......by 9:30 A.M. on Monday morning, HE HAD ALL OF THE ISSUES RESOLVED AS HE SAID! My appearance waived so no trip back to Woburn, MA! Warrant recalled! Case dismissed! License reinstated! NO COURT COSTS! Atty Lewin is as prompt, professional and knowledgeable an atty as you could want. He backed up what he said he would do and did it........just as described. just speaking to him made me confident that he was THE RIGHT ATTY. Great job and thanks for the great work.

Amazing attorney. Bob Lewin is a mensch!

We lived in another state hundred of miles away when we received the dreaded call our son was in trouble. We found Bob Lewin by divine intervention. He promised me that he would treat our son like one of his own sons and that we would be happy with the outcome. He is an amazing attorney. He is profes...sional, highly intelligent and caring. He kept us informed at all times. If you can afford his fee and he takes your case you will be in good hands. My only regret is that he is not licensed to practice law in the state in which we reside. -- a grateful mother

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!!

If you need a lawyer, he is your guy

We all dislike lawyers until we actually need one. So should life's complexities and challenges lead to you to need a lawyer, I would highly recommend Robert Lewin from Lewin & Lewin. In the summer of 2014, I was served a harassment order by Somerville District Court which was initiated by my former ...roommate. Subsequently, I was arrested for allegedly violating the harassment order which I refuted, then and now. I met with Mr. Lewin at his North Andover office to discuss my case. He took his time to evaluate my case and gave me a fixed price for case preparation and each court appearance. Before coming to Mr. Lewin, I met with six other lawyers to discuss my case and assess how much they would charge me. On average, their fees were roughly 5x higher compared to Mr. Lewin. On the trial date, Mr. Lewin was able to have my case was dismissed. He didn't drag his feet to prolong the case. As a former prosecutor, now a criminal defense lawyer, I found Mr. Lewin to be thorough, well experienced and successfully brought a satisfactory conclusion to my case. I highly recommend him.

Unknown Warrant 36 Years Later

I completed the Brady Background check for the purchase of a firearm. I was very surprised that I failed the background check due to a Warrant in Lawrence, MA. 36 years ago I was stopped by the police, and did not have my license on me. When I drove away it was my understanding that I had received... a warning. Robert Lewin took on my case, and had the Warrant dismissed in a day. I was very appreciative as I did not want to from from Denver, CO to Massachusetts to manage this issue. In the long run hiring Robert saved me time and money. I would recommend his services to my best friend!
