Very disappointing

I was given Mr. Lewis' name by one of his family members and at our consultation he had a lot of seemingly good strategies. My ex did not want the divorce and my children did not want to spend time with their father when he moved out. The case took quite awhile to resolve. I am sad to say that the... case did not end as Mr Lewis had told me it would. His strategies did not work and just cost me lots of money. My children were forced to visit their dad despite my having submitted evidence of abuse from him from the childrens' doctor. I also only received a small amount of limited alimony even though my husband and i had agreed that i should not work once we had children. I should have received indefinite alimony. In the end my children did crazy things because Mr Lewis didn't protect them and I spent a lot of money and my ex didn't have to pay any of it despite the fact that he was the one who kept filing all the motions. The bottom line is that he didn't protect with my children or myself and i was left with very little income with which to raise my children since i received so little child support and alimony from a long marriage.

Proceed With Caution!!!!!

I hired Lewis for what was to be a contentious divorce. He laid out a game plan and told me what he anticipated would happen although he did not follow the course of action that he said he would. He lied to me on numerous occasions and I lost significant money because of his poor judgement. He ...seemed more concerned with revenge than getting the results he had lied to me about. He did the opposite of what he said he would do and made phone calls and sent correspondence making consessions without ever discussing them with me. I got nothing I wanted or deserved and ended up with a huge bill with nothing to show for it.

This review is inaccurate and unfortunately reflects the bitterness of someone who had unrealistic expectations and refused to listens when told that the expectations were unrealistic. It is hard to respond to because I cannot think of someone who has experienced the type of result this person claims to have experienced. We try very hard to be realistic and mange client expectations, but no one has a crystal ball. If it is who I suspect it is, the case was resolved almost a year and not all of as the person describes.

Alec Lewis truly put my best interest at heart

After finalizing my divorce several years ago with another law firm, I found myself reaching out to the courts in an effort to have them enforce the original agreement. I was having no success until I hired Alec. He really took his time to explain my options and the best course of action. After just ...a couple meetings I felt like I had traction and was moving in the right direction. His calm and empathetic demeanor really help guide me through this frustrating and emotional time. I wouldnt hesistate to hire Alec Lewis again.

Alec Lewis is someone you can trust. He has my full faith and confidence

I hired Alec for my divorce. I heard of Alec because he was providing free advise on a broad range of community issues and knew then he had good intentions for the community and was someone I could trust. I discovered Alec was easy to communicate with. He understands the legal system and is very kn...owledgeable on the law and helped me understand the process. Probably the best thing about Alec Lewis he is someone I can trust. Alec Lewis is someone you can trust. He has my full faith and confidence. I started the divorce process without an attorney. I'm so glad I found Alec Lewis because it was more complicated than I expected. I highly recommend Alec Lewis.

Horrible

Mr Lewis represented me but was not truthful about I could expect the results to be in my case. He kept coming up with new proposed strategies to fix the previous ones that didn’t work all the while costing me 10a of 1000s of dollars. He was sarcastic and hurtful to me and I felt very disrespected ...wasted alot of money which got me nothing but more problems. Beware of his sales pitch !!
