Highly focused, energentic attorney who you will want on your side!

Mr. Lewis is representing me in a child custody matter. He is an energetic, highly focused professional who always has my interest in mind. He is an excellent listener and is able to prepare a clear and concise case from the hundreds of pieces of information presented to him. His experience and d...rive has seen me through the many challenges that have arisen during my case. His focus was evident from our first meeting and I highly recommend Mr. Lewis to anyone who is looking for a child custody attorney.

Excellent, pragmatic representation

David Lewis did an excellent job preparing for and representing me in my ongoing divorce and custody proceedings. I appreciate his ability to focus on the important aspects of the case as well as his straight-forward approach to weeding out the emotional conflict that, in legal regard, has little to ...no bearing on my case. David's approach to my case has been pragmatic. He is reasonable and direct and, more importantly, he has great instincts during proceedings. He knows when to press an issue, summarize an issue, and when to let something go. His focus is not on dragging things out but on resolving issues. I am confident that David has worked at trying to get the best resolution as it relates to me but more importantly as it relates to the well-being of my child.

Best lawyer to have on your side. HIGHLY Recommended.

Hands down the best lawyer to have on your side. David is straight to the point and informative, so all billed time in my case was progress being made. He also speaks with a confidence that is unlike any other in my experience. So, for problems that weigh so heavily they seem unbearable... please ...read my story about how this man can do more than just the job you need him to do. One day I caught my spouse cheating, so I left her. Immediately afterwards, rather than coming to an agreement, I find myself fighting for my right to see my children. I couldn't eat or sleep. I took a couple days off work and scheduled six consultations to find a lawyer to handle my case. After four consultations I had a rough understanding of the situation and the action that needed to be taken. Then, I consulted with David. He had an immediate answer for every question I asked, and he never once turned to a book or computer for assistance finding information. He knew the court system like it was the back of his hand. Upon leaving his office I canceled the remaining consultation and informed the previous lawyers I had decided on an attorney. I paid his retainer to begin taking action and felt such relief that for the first time in three days I was able to eat a meal. Not only did David have the information, he gave it with a strong and resonating confidence. That confidence helped me rest at ease, because every time I presented him with a problem or new obstacle with my case I would leave his office knowing that everything that could be done, was being done. And, if something was uncertain or had low chance of happening he would clearly state exactly that. There was never any false hope, just straight-forward information. Several times there were challenges brought on by my spouse to deny me of my children even going as far as to file a PFA based on a story she had fabricated. I gave David all the information I had and he quickly spotted the flaws with her PFA. The PFA restricting me from raising my children was undone after ONE WEEK. I continued to work with David for my child custody and divorce. I now live happily with my children and owe it to him that I did not miss out on years of their life.

David Lewis Review

David was very straight forward. He was very specific with the way things would progress and what I would have to do each step of the way. I appreciated his honesty and candid way of explaining what would take place and what we could do.

Amazing Lawyer

Mr. Lewis filled in for my lawyer during my first divorce for one hearing and that was all it took. When I started to have problems in my second marriage I called and hired Mr. Lewis immediately. He is a very professional and passion driven lawyer. He makes himself available all hours of the day and ...treats his clients with the utmost respect no matter how menial an issue/problem is. I would recommend his services to anyone who wants a excellent lawyer.
