Misogynistic

Sides with estranged, abusive men to take children away from their mothers. Takes advantage of vulnerable women and coerces them into agreements.

Stay AWAY!

2 lengthy reviews left the exact same day talking how great Tim Lewis is...yea ok! do not hire him for anything ESPECIALLY a custody case. He is as inept as they come. He will ruin your families life and then take no accountability.

We understand that family law matters are deeply personal and often very emotional. While our attorneys work diligently to advocate for our clients, outcomes in these cases depend on many factors, including client reasonableness, and no specific results can ever be guaranteed. We are committed to providing honest guidance and professional representation throughout the process. Because we cannot verify this anonymous review, we encourage anyone with concerns to contact us directly at 828-354-4300 so we may address them personally.

Thankful

Working with Timothy R. Lewis on my estate planning was an absolute relief during a process I was honestly dreading. I had no idea where to start, and the thought of organizing everything felt overwhelming. Tim made the whole experience straightforward, approachable, and even comforting. From the ...start, he took the time to really listen to my concerns and what I wanted for my family’s future. He broke everything down into simple terms without making me feel lost in legal jargon. I never felt rushed or like my questions were silly—he was patient and always willing to explain things in a way I could understand. What stood out the most was his attention to detail and how much he genuinely cared about making sure everything was set up exactly the way I wanted. He covered all the bases—my will, a trust, and even some things I hadn’t thought of, like a power of attorney and healthcare directives. He thought ahead for things I never would have, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Tim was also incredibly organized and efficient. He didn’t waste my time but still made sure I was comfortable with every step. By the end, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders knowing everything was in place for my family’s future.

Excellent

My experience with Timothy R. Lewis during my legal proceedings was vastly different from one claim here. I found Mr. Lewis to be a dedicated and knowledgeable attorney who approached my case with professionalism and care. His ability to remain calm under pressure and methodically build a strong argu...ment was invaluable during an emotionally charged custody matter. Contrary to claims of negligence or passivity, Mr. Lewis was thoroughly prepared and actively engaged throughout the process. During cross-examinations, his note-taking was not a sign of inaction but rather a deliberate strategy to counter key points effectively when it was his turn to speak. His measured approach allowed him to craft well-reasoned responses, rather than reacting impulsively, which ultimately worked to my benefit. What stood out most about Mr. Lewis was his unwavering commitment to ensuring that the child’s best interests remained at the forefront of every discussion. He was proactive in addressing potential safety concerns and ensured that all relevant evidence was presented clearly and persuasively. His ability to navigate the complexities of family law with empathy and precision made a challenging situation more manageable. Custody cases are emotionally and legally challenging, and while outcomes are never guaranteed, I firmly believe Mr. Lewis gave my case the time, attention, and expertise it required. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate advocate in a custody matter.

DO NOT HIRE HIM

He was completely inadequate to handle my custody matter. Because of him & his extremely poor representation, my daughter is in danger. He has no clue what he's doing. He will not stand up for you. He will sit there and scribble notes while you're on the stand getting torn apart by the opposing party.... Do NOT use him. If my daughter were to get abused again, Tim will be part to blame for that.
