A Professional and a Friend

Mr. Lewis originally represented me in Bankruptcy court, when I was CEO of a mortgage marketing firm. He was flawless in his ability to clearly show the insanely aggressive court trustee that I did not owe any of the creditors a penny. I was given a totally clear Chapter 7 without having to pay a p...enny. Mr. Lewis then (four years later) represented me for my divorce (after 29 years of marriage) and was able to overcome a slew of false allegations (including Protection Orders) and eventually award me maintenance and unsupervised visitation. He was always available and even gave me his cellphone - which he amazingly always found time to pick up (unless he was in court) and respond immediately (and I called him from 7am till 11pm!). The man was patient beyond belief, and showed a great deal of empathy for my situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Lewis.

Real Estate client in South Nyack, NY

I found Robert Lewis to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. My transaction was time sensitive. He was very attentive and responded to my questions in a timely fashion. I basically showed up at the closing and he handled everything else. My real estate purchase was a... pleasant experience thanks to Robert Lewis. I would highly recommend him.

Great results

Robert S. Lewis knows his practice. I am a service-disabled Veteran and unfortunately had to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. No one wants to do this, but Mr. Lewis has plenty of experience in this area and knows the rules and procedures. He appeared in Court with me and handled everything for a very rea...sonable fee.

Professional misconduct

Censured issued in NY, 2000

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
