Integrity matters to Lewis

I had to find new legal counsel after my first lawyer's lack of experience became painfully obvious the first time in front of the judge. In my search for a new lawyer, Lewis Williams came highly recommended, and he made an immediate impact. My (now) ex-wife’s lawyer was loud, rude, aggressive, a...nd willing to present half-truths and outright lies in the courtroom. (My previous lawyer didn’t stand up to her, but just wilted.) After I hired Lewis, she became much more civil and showed him immediate respect. (He told me he had beaten her in the courtroom before, so that was a good sign.) My ex-wife worked very little during our 18-year marriage, had an affair, and faked a brain injury in her attempt to gain disability benefits. I had copious amounts of evidence for all this. Unfortunately, Tennessee state law apparently cares little about morality and ethics and mostly looks at income vs. need. Thus, I was vulnerable to paying extensive alimony due to my income and the length of our marriage. Lewis encouraged me to settle, even though he told me he would make up to $30,000 in more legal fees if we went to court. I was amazed at his honesty and integrity. On a side note, he is very prompt at returning emails and works through weekends, holidays, and even when he’s sick! There were times when I thought, “He needs to rest.”

The best

Round two with Lewis and his services are still unmatched! Seriously, the best attorney around. He's super responsive, knowledgeable and stands firm for you.

Lewis and his staff are the best, look no further for the team that has your best interest in mind

Lewis represented me in a contested divorce that was being drawn out longer than needed. He and his team have the quickest, straight forward communication you could ask for. Everyone is prompt to reply and address any new circumstances with a level head and your best interest in mind. Going through a... divorce is extremely stressful and I could not imagine having anyone else by my side, Lewis and Jaclin are the best team any client could ask for! If you're reading these, then your in the same boat I was, do not wait any longer wondering who would be best, give Lewis a call and he will get the path started as painless as possible with your best interest in mind. He knows the laws so you don't have to.

A winning attorney who cares

Lewis genuinely cares. If there is one thing that makes Lewis different that other attorneys I've engaged with, is his personal investment in your case and story and his superb instincts and knowledge. He worked tirelessly to understand my situation and worked diligently to prepare for our hearings. ...He was always available and responded to me after hour and on weekends. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney who practices family law in Nashville and Middle Tennessee.

Amazing Attorney

Lewis is absolutely the best , and I hate it took me so long to post a review about his expertise. He was my divorce attorney during one of the hardest times of my life and without his experience and knowledge of the legal system , I would have been at a loss. I recommend him above any other attorney... in Nashville , and not only is he a great attorney but a really good person, to this day if I had a legal question. I think he would be more than willing to offer advice.
