Lindsay Anne Lewis

She represented my 18 year old son with a mishap at college. I appreciate that she showed up and made a very difficult disappointing situation much less bad than it could have been. Her attention to detail, patience and the dedication in protecting his records made up for some lateness in completing ...the project. I would recommend her for parents looking to assist their college kids needing a criminal lawyer because she will protect them legally as best she can.

Ms. Lewis (henceforth described as L) was introduced to me when i approached the law firm of Joshua Dratel LLC for a felony charge. There was no dispute that a crime had been committed. My first 2-3 meetings with L were also attended by Mr. Dratel (henceworth described as D) as we went over the de...tails of the crime as well as an interview of my background as a non-criminal. The firm charged less for L's time than D's time. Despite that, L's approach was super professional and thorough. I am sure she discussed my case with D virtually every step of the way as she gathered the pertinent information and communicated with the prosecutor's office. The process required investigating the crime itself, my booking at the jail, information re: my medical history, and multiple conversations with the prosecutor's office. This latter phase was the most difficult since the prosecutor's office was so busy and often did not return phone calls and emails; none of which could be ascribed to lack of effort on L's side. We had multiple conversations about strategies and she clearly made every effort to figure out the most expeditious as well as the most effective to get my charge reduced. Of course, i would have loved a full dismissal but that was not realistic. For a first timer like me, the court appearances were especially intimidating. The idea was that we would eventually agree on an offer from the prosecutor's office once the charges were reduced. The first court appearance was effectively a bust since the prosecutor was not ready to make a solid offer; the excuse being they hadn't had the time to really think through the case. Hence my second court appearance was scheduled for 6 weeks later. At both appearances, L met with me a good 15 min before our scheduled time to go over her communications with the prosecutor's office and explained in detail the ramifications of what the ultimate agreement would mean. There are so many places one can land. Dismissal, dismissal with conditions, disorderly conduct, disorderly conduct with certain conditions, and other misdemeanors. Ultimately, i accepted a plea of disorderly conduct with conditions which in this case was better than dismissal with conditions. This would be the reverse of what one would think is better in the long run. But L explained to me in careful and patient detail why this choice was much better than the other choices. This whole judicial process can be very anxiety producing however having L represent me and be by my side all the way reduced the angst and turmoil. Having her explain the different nuances made it easy for me to accept the final judgement. Without doubt, I would turn to her again (God forbid) if I have another occasion to be in trouble.

I engaged Lindsay for my father- to help get his grand larceny sentenced reduced after meeting certain restitution conditions in his plea agreement. What should have been a simple exercise was anything but; complicated by a difficult cast of characters including a tough judge and various opposing for...ces. Prior counsel had spent months on this issue with no success. Lindsay wrangled these forces like a pro. Within days she was walking into a hearing with consent of the parties and, when it looked like the judge might balk, was prepared with the case law to substantiate her position. Lindsay got my father re-sentenced in a matter of days. Lindsay Lewis is a smart and capable attorney. And, unlike many other lawyers, returns phone calls. I could not recommend anyone more highly than I recommend Lindsay. I sincerely hope I never need to use Lindsay again, however, if I were ever to get into trouble myself, she would be my one phone call.

Ms. Lewis's active and diligent defense of my son allowed him to achieve the best outcome. She worked closely with him, clearly communicating his options and keeping him prepared. We found her easy to communicate with and an expert in her field. I hope we never need an attorney again--but if we do, w...e'll hire Ms. Lewis without hesitation.

I contacted Lindsay Lewis to help my get an early termination of probation in 2013, she did an excellent job at a very affordable price, and I got my probation terminated early in New York. Other attorneys I contacted told me it can not be done in the Federal District Court of New York, but she got i...t done without even meeting me in person. Excellent Attorney !
