Posted by Mark | October 01, 2014 | Lawsuits & Disputes

A very smart and creative attorney.

I contacted Mark Lewis regarding a very complicated case. He very quickly understood all the moving parts and boiled my case down to its essence and identified the strongest arguments. I connected with him because he is also a writer, and that was attractive because writers can think both abstractl...y and analytically. Mark's 10.0 Avvo rating impressed me before I contacted him. He put in the effort to review the documents and understand my case which inspired further confidence in me. Mark is knowledgeable and seasoned while still being energetic. If you are unlucky enough to need an attorney, I hope you will be lucky enough to find one like Mr. Lewis.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
