Excellent Lawyer Experience

A friend had recommended Mr. Roberts when I needed to file bankruptcy. I recently had a negative attorney experience, so I was a little hesitant. Immediately after my first meeting with Lewis, I knew I was in good hands. He explained the entire process, guided me with all my questions and made a d...ifficult situation manageable. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and was always looking out for my best interest. What a concept! We did encounter a challenge towards the end (related to a separate prior divorce). Lewis went the extra mile for me and resolved what could have been a major problem. That's when you know you're in the right hands! Needless to say, it is with total confidence that I can say Lewis Roberts will be the best decision you can make!

Best Lawyer in Orlando area

My house was facing foreclosure and the only way to save it was to file bankruptcy. Lewis walked me through the prices sand was ready to answer my questions at any time of day or night even on weekends. He is very knowledgable, efficient and considerable at all times to your situation. Lewis always... kept me informed of any steps that he took or things that had to be complete. He made it easy for me through this difficult time. Lewis is very personable and he fights for you the consumer. He made me feel secure and comfortable and I knew that as long as he works on my case I'm in safe hands. I have worked with different attorneys and if I had to recommend or pick only one tha would be Lewis Roberts. His staff is also absolutely amazing. They help you with everything even little tiny details of making copies or mailing documents. Me and my family are greatful that we got opportunity to get to know Lewis and work with him. Today it is very hard to find the lawyer who wants to work for you because it is the right thing to do. Most of the time all you hear about attorneys are the fees that they charge and not the work that they do for you. Lewis Roberts is there for you and your family. If you have any difficulty, facing hard time in yor life - he is the key to your relief, success and peace. Thank you Lewis and your staff for all you do on daily basis, you are more than just appreciated. You saved my home for my family and if you change one persons life you changed the whole world!

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.

Excellent beginning to end

We contacted Mr. Roberts' office because we needed a bankruptcy attorney, and he was recommended by a well-known realtor in Orange County. Mr. Roberts and his staff explained the steps of the bankruptcy and everything we needed to provide and by when. They were always gracious and quick to respond.... We received answers to E-mails on Saturday even though we expected to receive answers when the office opened on Monday. When they said they would take care of something, they did--quickly and efficiently. We never had the pleasure of meeting him or his staff, but we felt a positive professional relationship be it on the phone or through E-mail. We would definitely recommend Mr. Roberts to anyone needing his expertise.
