Competent and compassionate legal representation

Lewis helped my family file a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy; during that process, he provided "wise" and "competent" legal counsel. He was prompt in replying to my many questions, always with an answer I could understand. I found him to be an extraordinary attorney and compassionate person.

Superb service and professionalism!

Lewis kept me informed throughout the legal process of my case. He was very responsive and even emailed me on weekends. No bad surprises! Philip and Lisa were very helpful also. It all went incredibly smoothly. I would recommend this firm very stongly. Also protected me from unwanted harassment.

You have changed my life.

Mr. Roberts took my Bankruptcy case in February 2008. Having to file for Bankruptcy was the most humiliating experience I've ever had to deal with. I lost everything, including my self-esteem. However, Mr. Roberts -- with his extreme knowledge of BR laws -- put my fears to rest by assuring me that... I was one of thousands of people in the same situaton and that I would get through this, build my credit up and soon be able to qualify for a home again. He was always right there for me every step of the way. His advice was always spot on, and continues to be -- I just closed on my beautiful new home! I believe people are placed in your life for many different reasons, and Mr. Roberts was there to show me the light at the end of the tunnel. I will never be able to express how grateful I am to Lewis Roberts. Without him and his professional guidance I just don't know where I'd be today. I have referred him to several friends in need of legal advice and they all feel the same way I do. He's the BEST!!

Excellent Counsel

Everything that could happen in a bankruptcy was explained. I was given recommendations with options and enough information to make good decisions. When issues came up they were dealt with before I called and asked. Proactive and professional are two words that come to mind. It is good to have a qual...ity professional to work with when you are dealing with the unknown, and let's face it, most people have not been through this in their lifetime. I always feel like Lewis has my best interest in mind, and would highly recommend his service if you are going through financial difficulties.

very unhappy

i consulted and put 500 down to do a bankruptcy (acknowledging i still owed 1250,but in my line of work (the trucking industry )i left shortly after our consultation and was gone for 3 months upon my returnlast week i arrived to a letter that i would consider a scare tactic , i immediately called the...re office and left a mmessage for lisa roberts to return my call,when i didnt hear bac i called again and left a message for lisa roberts to call me ,to this day i havent heard a word from her or th office,,they have my phone number and if they actually knew me on a client basis they would know i have probably been out f town,.her is how ahlf the letter reads,(if we dont hear from you by may 23rd 2012,then we will assume you dont want to file a case any longer.your file will bee close and i will stop working on your case (what work have they done maybe pulled my credit bureau ) i have all the paper work.anyway it goes on to sayi will also inform any of your creditors that contact our office that you are no longer represented by our office and they can begin contacting me directly again.no refund will b given as per your retainer agreement.there will also be a 500 dollar fee to reopen your file once closed.i will be happy to email anyone a copy of this letter i can be reached at [email protected] this really the kind of office you want representing you,in my opinion it seems to be run more like a puppy mill then a law office that knows you on a individual basis,and its not like i didnt come home with the money i still owed and the intention to go down and finish paying them,but after not getting any return calls to my messages i will seek out representation else where

I have had more than one person from my office try to contact you. But we never receive a response. We have to take the next step of sending you a letter to verify you want to continue with the bankruptcy process. We cannot sit on your file forever, due to the nature of changed circumstances with clients (income, assets, expenses, potential lawsuits). My retainer agreement clearly states no refunds of the flat fee agreement and that you are to remain in contact with my office. I have plenty of clients who tell me they cannot file until a date in the future and we have no problem waiting on them. But with no feedback at all from some clients, we have to pull contact out of them. I am sorry you feel the letter was harsh. As everyone can see from my other ratings, my office is not run as a mill.
