Did Not Deliver

Hired him to represent me in a TPO hearing. He was arrogant and primarily focused on billable hours. Talked a good game but in my opinion his defense was inadequate at best.

Replied last October 02, 2018

Because I resolve approximately 200 criminal matters every year, and the criticism is posted anonymously, it is difficult to figure out who posted the comment, or why. I am always open to criticism, but I find most of the on-line comments are from people who phoned the office and did not like the fact that I do not offer free consultations. I do not worry about billable hours in a TPO, because I have always charged a flat fee. I have charged $ 2500 for a TPO for the last ten (10) years. If the TPO takes two hours it is $ 2500. IF the TPO takes fifteen hours, it is $ 2500. So, the comment about my focus on billable hours is bizarre, and leads me to believe that this person was never a client. Again I recommend that folks visit the courthouse where their matter will be addressed and ask the staff at that courthouse for a recommendation of four to five attorneys. That way, you know you are being led in the right direction by folks that have seen the attorneys in action.

TPO case dismissed

My next door neighbor took out a temporary protection order on me. She said I was stalking,verbally abusing,threatening to kill her,as well as hit her vehicle with my car. She had two family witnesses along with a neighbor who lives across the street as a witness. My lawyer Mr. Lawrence Lewis was so ...amazing! He discredited the plaintiff and "ALL" the witnesses and used their own words against them. He was "Awsome"!! I never had to say a word...i never had to take the stand...he represented me thoroughly and I will hire him again if I need a lawyer in the future. This man goes hard at the opposition. If Lawrence Lewis is representing you...relax your mind cause you've already won!!
