My wife and I have been fostering two boys for about one year now. They are our joy and we love raising them in the beautiful city of Knoxville. When we aren't at the Zoo or the Muse you can find us downtown at the library enjoying a Dr. Seuss book!

I contacted Mr. Lewis regarding a custody issue. He listened to the specifics of my issue before explaining what would be necessary from a legal standpoint and before quoting me a rate. He was more thorough in gathering information about my issue before quoting a price than other attorneys with whom ...

I would recommend C.J. Lewis to represent anyone with a case they think is impossible to beat. He is very timely, explanatory, and above all honest. He will not make promises, he is just truthful.
"We don't handle criminal defense cases at my firm so I refer folks looking for a good one to C.J. Lewis. C.J. knows his way around the courthouse and has a keen instinct for when the D.A.'s case is strong and when it is not. He makes jail visits and keeps his clients informed about their cases. Those folks I refer continue to be satisfied with C.J.'s work. I recommend him to you."
"C.J. diligently represents his clients. I would seek out his representation. I endorse this lawyer."
"C.J. Lewis will provide outstanding legal representation to his clients. He will bring a high level of professionalism and passion to the court room. If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you every step of the way and be an excellent guide for you through the criminal process, then you should contact C.J. Lewis. As someone who had several trial advocacy classes with Mr. Lewis at the UT College of Law, I have no doubt that Mr. Lewis has exceptional trial advocacy skills that will be on display when he steps into courtrooms across East Tennessee."
"C.J. has provided thoughtful and helpful analysis to many of the legal issues presented to the AVVO community. I endorse this lawyer."
"I do not practice criminal law, but CJ does, and if I ever found myself in need of services in that area of the law, CJ would be at the top of my list to call. He is diligent, he is dedicated, he is very intelligent, and he works hard and effectively. I have seen him in many settings--researching, writing, arguing motions--and he is fantastic at everything he does. Also, and sadly not applicable to all lawyers, CJ is a fun guy to be around."
"I have known this attorney in many different capacities, first as a law student, but now as a colleague and a friend. I do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Lewis if you are facing legal difficulties. As a teacher of trial practice, I think myself in a particularly apt position to say that when I first met Mr. Lewis, I was thoroughly impressed with his mastery of the courtroom and his legal mind, and have only grown more impressed with the years. But beyond that, Mr. Lewis has always impressed me as a downright good guy, and I've yet to encounter an experience that would lead me to believe otherwise. Hire Mr. Lewis and you will be in good hands."
