Bright, young and aggressive

Todd has the experience, wisdom and guts to go up against the big boys. He is relentless and is an active litigator.

It’s not how many times you fall, but how many times your get back up!!

I had medical and emotional issues that had been brought on by the devastating housing market collapse. Our whole world was crashing down all around us. Everywhere we turned, there was more trouble rearing its ugly head. We ended up having two homes foreclosed, medical and regular bills were pilin...g up and my family of 4 was literally homeless! Our wonderful neighbor opened her home to us and was truly our angel in our time of tribulation. We were experiencing very serious and life changing issues which none of the things were of our own doing. Todd Lewis was referred to us by a family friend. We didn’t know what to do or whom to ask to know what to do! It was a very scary and humbling time, the darkest days I have ever experienced. But Todd was a breath of fresh air. He educated and encouraged us and helped us to remember that bad things do happen to good people. His direct approached helped us tremendously to stay focused and not dwell on the negativity of the circumstance but to look forward, take one day at a time and focus of “fixing” our situation to move forward in a positive manner. Todd may have started out as our lawyer, but he quickly became our trusted friend!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Hard working, Honest, Expectional Negotiator and knows how to get the job done.

I recently built a house in northern VA and I had a problem where a utility pole was in the front middle of my property that had three big utility companies wires on it (1 electric, 2 coax and 4 fiber cables). The pole was pretty much an eyesore. I tried to work with the utility companies for 2 years... to get them to remove it since they didn't have an easement but that did not go anywhere until I retained Mr. Todd Lewis to represent me. Thanks to Todd, all three utility company were gone off the pole and the pole was removed. The cost to get that done was less than 15% of what I would have to pay only one company to remove it. He did all this without having to go to court. Thank you Todd. PS. I used to think that many lawyers just want to take your money until I worked with Todd. I am a true that lawyer like Todd will get your more for your buck, Todd proved it. Also, let's face it, not everyone can be a lawyer. Not only does Todd know the case laws, he also has the negotiations and mitigation skills that was required for my complicated case. This review does not really do Todd justice. What he did and the pressure he put on those companies was phenomenal and saved me a lot of money.

Dedicated Advocate

Tenacious, diligent, aggressive and highly effective. Mr. Lewis displayed the highest level of expertise and client advocacy in a very difficult bankruptcy situation caused by poor advice by previous counsel. In addition, Mr. Lewis displayed intense dedication in getting out from under extreme deadli...nes, putting in the extra hours as necessary. Remarkably easy to work with and informative throughout the entire process. Mr. Lewis succeeding in pulling our S-Corp out of Chapter 11 and Trustee oversight and working through the system in remarkable time despite being brought in late. Can not recommend highly enough for effective, aggressive, tough and fair representation and thorough advocacy above and beyond the ordinary.

Great Job!

Mr. Lewis handled my Chap. 13 with expertise. Although my case was not especially difficult or involving a huge sum of money, debt or assets, it was a tremendous emotional burden for me. We even managed to win a settlement from my creditor who violated the Stay. ( Obviously, I cannot discuss it). ... Mr. Lewis is however, a one-man team. I think he gets overwhelmed sometimes, mixes up cases--or simply forgets. This did occur several times. I took it upon myself to remind him. As long as he was on board, he would take to the next level--in his own words..." We're going to "Death-Con 5" (as a an ex military service person--this did make me chuckle. But it worked).
