Bretta Lewis is a Rockstar Attorney!

Bretta Lewis was highly recommended by dozens of attorneys, due to her extensive experience, to help us win our custody case and she worked her magic to do just that! She was a force to be reckoned with from day 1! She not only helped my family and I get justice for my son, but she also helped inst...ill better communications and accountability on my part so that my path forward will be a more amicable one. Bretta is thoughtful, intense, intelligent, and puts everyone involved in there place, including her client - so you can put your best foot forward and win your case! She is able to adapt to the unexpected and read people to bring out the truth! I admired the tremendous respect she has for her team, the courts, Judges, and profession at large. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a family lawyer. She taught me as much about recognizing my own faults as she did about the law and I am forever grateful to her!

YOU CANNOT GO WRONG!

Bretta Lewis has been a Godsend. She took on a difficult and emotional case, long after the case began. She faced a challenge when other attorneys would not. The hearing continued for another year and Ms. Lewis put her heart and soul in to it. Ms. Lewis was forthright from the beginning. She is a str...aight shooter but yet compassionate. She does not give you false hope, but she will fight to the bitter end and it paid off. She never waivered, she worked extremely hard, and she WON THE CASE!!!! I have the utmost respect and admiration for her. I do not think I can say enough about Ms. Lewis to convey how great of an attorney and person she is nor am I able to express my gratitude enough for what she put into this case. Bretta Lewis is truly an AMAZING attorney and you CANNOT go wrong hiring her. My only regret...I DID NOT HIRE HER SOONER!!!

Ms.

Bretta Lewis is HORRIBLE! She took 10,000+ of my dollars… Did not have my back at all!! Did not handle my case well at all! She was more invested in beating my exes lawyer because of a personal beef she had with her! She never even met me face-to-face! Avoid at all cost!

Would prefer to leave no stars

Bretta Lewis is rude, inpatient and incompetent. The way she handled my case was apprehensible. I would not recommend.

Doesn’t deserve any stars

Bretta Lewis is one of the rudest people I’ve ever met. She can be quite hateful at times. She is not humble, patient, or understanding.
