Great lawyer, great job

Robert Lewis , handled our extremely complex case very professionally with great results. Personal service and very available. Robert knew exactly what to do and it showed with the results.

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.

Should not be practicing Probate Law

I hired him to handle a probate matter. Had no idea what schedules or format was required. Sent in incorrect paperwork that had to be corrected and sent back by the court on numerous occasions. Does not proofread, many typos. Case has now closed after 2 years. You have to chase him around to get h...im to do his job. Exhausting. Collects his money, and does not finish the work. Should not be practicing probate law.
