Highly recommend Attorney Lewin

Attorney Lewin handled my drive after suspension case successfully. I had a minor accident last year, and was found that my license was suspended without myself knowing it. After talking to Attorney Lewin, he answered all my questions, explained my concerns, promptly collected all the necessary docum...ents, keep me updated on the progress, and presented in the hearing effectively. Thanks to his excellent work, the case is dismissed right at the hearing. I appreciate Attorney's high quality of work, knowledge of the field, effective communication, and all the responsibility along the process. I would recommend Attorney Lewin to everyone whenever there is a need for a great attorney.

if your looking for hope look no further !

Recently I was faced with the fear and uncertainty of handling a 11 year old warrent in another state related to a felony theft charge being accused of something I never would have the capacity to do ! Suffering from anxiety and depression and battling the humiliation of facing this or facing jail ti...me for something I’ve never done I put off Pursuing the case based off of possible outcomes my own fears I’d find on the internet that scared me and buried my head in the sand to ovoid it for an additional 3 years ! Time passed and I met my husband and found out we were pregnant i wanted to replace my drivers license and realized I couldn’t without getting arrested on the warrant I had been avoiding so I was faced with the choice of handling it once and for all and clearing my name and getting on with my life. And Thankgod that happened !!!!! I searched the internet high and low in the Massachusetts’s area for cases similar to mine with a mustard seed of faith in hopes of finding a answer and low and behold there was mr. Robert Lewin ! I was welcomed to a site flooded with COUNTLESS success cases with similar situations to mine and to my surprise every single one had a positive outcome ! Weather the case was dropped in a few days or cleared completely in a single day I was amazed that this many people not only sat in my shoes but walked free in those same shoes thanks to one man ! I instantly felt like things could potentially be overcome - but still feeling anxious I called once and got too scared to follow up again for the same reasons I avoided the case prior. Mr.Lewin called me every day to follow up with me. Asking about my pregnancy and encouraging me that this wasn’t the end of the road and this was his speciality and he was fully confident the not only outcome would be a positive one But In his words “I’m a paid worrier so you don’t have to be” . I finally with the encouragement of him and my mother decided to spend the money needed to repair my life and restore my normality and peace of mind once and for all and had Mr.Lewin represent me . I was living in another state and was worried I’d have to travel in the fog of covid to handle this 3 months pregnant. But Upon just minutes of starting my case Mr.Lewin got my court appearance moved to be a zoom meeting style court date and wrote the DA who got my case COMPLETLY THROWN OUT in just 4 days !!! I appeared briefly in a zoom court with Mr.Lewin waiting for my turn to get this wiped away , as I watched MANY others in that same virtual court either waiting on lawyers nervously to join the zoom or with lawyers who were un prepared or even worse - completely in there alone because there lawyer didn’t show Atall !!!! Not Mr. Lewin ! He was prepared and 5 minutes early ready to handle business !! I instantly knew I made the right choice and my advice to anyone dealing with this ! READ THE REVIEWS ! DO YOUR RESEARCH ! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR ! My lawyer was on time texting me words of encouragement leading up to one of the most prayed for moments of my life ! Mr. Lewin spoke on my behalf and within literal minutes my most feared moment was behind me, THE CASE WAS COMPLETELY THROWN OUT AND DROPPED ! I NEVER GOT ARRESTED - AND NOTHING WAS POSTED ON MY RECORD! AND THIS WAS A 11 YEAR OLD WARRANT FROM ANOTER STATE ! In just 4 days Mr.Lewin saved my future ! In 4 days !!!! I couldn’t be more thankful to him and My advice to anyone with anxiety or fear dealing with any legality to look no further ! This is your guardian angel , he is quick sharp knowledgeable and to the point and will advocate and be by your side like a true friend ! Your not alone ! You can figure this out with the right help ! It’s right here ! THANKYOU MR. LEWIN !

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
