Bretta Marie Zimmer Lewis

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!

Bretta is by the best lawyer my partner and I have ever experienced. We had an extremely high conflict custody case, in which the mother was alienating the father from the kids life and moved to another state. Bretta worked tirelessly to ensure no stone was unturned, and all of the lies were brou...ght to light. Bretta was able to settle the case the night before the trial —saving everyone time and money. My partner, the father, was given primary custody. It truly was a roller coaster of a case — and Bretta did the ABSOLUTE best that she could, and it showed. The child can finally have stability — and we thank Bretta so much for it. She will always be honest — and it may not be the news you want to hear. But, she sets you up for the best result possible. Pick Bretta if you want the best shot!!

If you're looking for an aggressive, knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate lawyer she's the one. I switched counsel halfway through a custody battle and she completely turned my case around and she managed to settle it outside of court. Bretta is THE divorce lawyer in Hampton Roads!! Her assista...nt Faatimah is also one of the kindest and sweetest women you'll ever meet!

Bretta was extremely knowledgeable, communicative, and moral throughout my 1.5+ year custody case. Her guidance was incredibly accurate and she went above and beyond to help me and my children. She truly cares about this work. She is able to combine that with an incredible depth of legal knowledge an...d a strong work ethic. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney for my case that she helped me win. Because of her, my children have a chance at growing up normal shielded from their abusive mother.
