DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER

*****BE AWARE OF BEN LEWIS****** I retained Ben Lewis with the promise of him advocating for Father's Rights and helping me win 50-50 custody of my children. He had a good sales pitch but that's it. He lacks professionalism, communication skills, and legal knowledge. Ben will take your money an...d you have to hound him or his secretary Emily to receive any kind of response or update. If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you and advocate your rights- DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN AND WASTE YOUR TIME! You will be filled with nothing but empty promises and be out of your hard earned money in the process. Due to his lack of knowledge, responsiveness, and professionalism I sought other counsel outside of this firm. My case was time sensitive and I went to seek an attorney that would clean up his mess. STAY AWAY FROM THIS LAWYER! It's a shame that McCarter East partners are not reading the multiple negative reviews of Ben Lewis. Scroll through and you will find the consistencies in complaints.

"Money talks louder than ethics."

Be aware Attorney Benjamin Lewis Delays Justice for Financial Gain. He was hired to represent a custody case, hoping he will provide efficient legal representation. However, he prioritized profit over justice, disregarding the emotional well-being of three innocent children and a desperate young fat...her. Benjamin Lewis demonstrated a glaring lack of interest in providing sound legal guidance and facilitating a smoother transition during our case. Instead of offering practical advice and working to streamline the legal process, he prioritized his own financial gains, neglecting our need for clarity and assistance. His disregard for our concerns and his failure to offer constructive solutions only added unnecessary stress and complications to an already difficult situation and delayed proceedings for eight months. Only when we turned to Attorney Scott Kimberley did we see progress. Kimberley delivered the results Lewis claimed were unattainable. Save yourself the headache and financial burden; avoid Benjamin Lewis if you value timely justice.

Aggressive and vigilant

Ben represented my son and his fiancé against a rogue DHS worker and revealed the truth in her and the ex husbands false accusations. He’s very knowledgeable and missed nothing.

Child Custody and Father's Rights

Both Ben Lewis and his assistant Ashlie has been a great help with my case. They have been reasonably responsive. Ben is sharp and knowledgeable in the law and any questions I needed answers for. He expressed care in my case and helped me with the best approach to the matter that which I was dealing ...with. Thank you for representing me.

New from the first hearing appearance we made a mistake

It's hard to cover it all in 4,000 words or less, but simply put, great aggressive client advocating sales pitch upfront but inexperience and shortcomings only followed. Made a change and it's been a weight lifted and opposing counsel hasn't been able to continue antics they were previously never cha...llenged on. Maybe experience and time will improve, but can't recommend this attorney for anything that is, or even could become complex.
