Best Decision For Representation I Could Have Made

I was charged with assault and battery on a household member. After searching for a local attorney I picked a few to call and have consultations with and Mr. Lewin was my first appointment. After speaking with him for over an hour during our consultation (his consultations are free of charge), I left... knowing full well I would be hiring Mr. Lewin for my representation. He was thorough in speaking with me and the charges I was facing. We went over my case; my story and statement, the police report, as well as the multiple possibilities of outcome. Mr. Lewin made it clear that it is extremely difficult for a man to have an assault and battery on household member (or as we commonly refer to as domestic violence) charge dismissed during pretrial. However the professionalism, drive, and straight forwardness he showed towards me made me confident that he was going to work hard and with my best interests as number one priority. Robert informed me that he believed we had a good case for the victim on record to have a 5th amendment right. Mr. Lewin made himself available at all times and called me on multiple occasions to not only update me on the case but also check in on me. Robert was at courthouse early and ready to meet with me before going in. He was again beyond thorough and informative of the stages of events that will happen for that date and his demeanor and professionalism put me at ease for the last time. In court proceedings he continued with his professionalism and knowledge of the law. Mr. Lewin pushed and continued fighting for a dismissal even when it was obvious the State did not want to settle case that day. As a result of this persistence, Mr. Lewin was able to have the Massachusetts DA admit to lack of evidence to continue the charges against me while having the alleged victim use her Fifth Amendment Right to seal the deal and get my case completely DISMISSED at pretrial. A feat that does not happen regularly with the charges I was facing. My writing is not on par with how much Attorney Lewin provided for me. He is hands down the best decision I could have made for counsel. From the beginning to the end he was there for me. He knew what he was doing and you will see that from the first time you meet with him. Mr. Lewin did everything and more than I imagined and am forever grateful for his work. Thank you Bob. Sincerely, thank you!

Professional and highly respected by Judges and Prosecutors alike!

I highly recommend Attorney Lewin for all criminal proceedings. I was charged with identity fraud and credit card fraud and at the end my case received a VERY favorable disposition which allowed me to retain my no guilty plea without admission. At the beginning I was afraid and confused of what may h...appen but Attorney Lewin provided me with a clear understanding of what options I will have, understand the entire process clearly and most importantly his time whenever I had a question. He was very responsive and flexible with his time, which few times included late night meetings to accommodate my schedule. Attorney Lewin is a true professional, highly respected by fellow attorneys, judges and prosecutors which I personally observed. Mistakes happen, investing in a highly knowledgable and professional attorney is priceless! Bob Lewin is the attorney you want on your side! Thank you Attorney Lewin for all of your help! -BP

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

Cant thank Bob enough

I was involved in a car crash which ended up totaling my car. I was drunk at the time and had made a false statement to the office at the time about who was operating my car and also relayed the same information onto the insurance guys which technically made it insurance fraud. A letter from the poli...ce worried me so I contacted Bob. He spoke so professionally with me for about an hour and explained my situation very calmly and told me that he would act on it first thing in the morning and will try to keep matters out of court. I stopped by the next morning with the documents. He explained to me how we will handle the situation and after 15 minutes of me leaving his office, he gave me a call giving me the good news that the police are not pressing charges against me. He even called up my insurance company and got them to agree to take a second statement from me and they even agreed to pay out. Don't know what Bob said to them but it worked. What I appreciate about Bob the most is his professionalism. That can only be found in someone who has been playing this game for a very long time. I Thank you very much, Bob and I thank all the lucky stars I walked away from all of this without a single scratch.

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!!
