John Paul Lewandowski

My wife and I used John Lewandowski to complete our estate planning. Mr. Lewandowski was professional, friendly, a great communicator, and made things easily understandable for us as we made decisions regarding our estate. I would definitely use Mr. Lewandowski's services for future litigation needs....

John Lewandowski used an outdated form for the state of Ohio and also completed forms incorrectly for estate planning, causing the forms to be rejected by the end recipient. He also deleted the original documents He created and did not have them as a reference when I had follow up questions (less tha...n 2 months after initial correspondence and while we were still awaiting final confirmation/acceptance from the end recipient). I certainly understand and respect that mistakes can occur; the core issue was not the mistakes that were made, but his unwillingness and lack of professionalism to fix the issues and correct the forms. I had to find a new lawyer to finish the work he started--and that he was paid in full for--but that he did not complete correctly. He was unwilling to correct the forms based on the end recipient's feedback and instead said the end recipient was wrong. He was completely unaware of, and unwilling to accept, his own mistakes in creating and filling out the legal paperwork. Further, he was inflexible in his way of thinking and trouble shooting problems, following only one formula/approach--even when that approach /formula was rejected (forms returned) by the end recipient. He did not care at all about customer satisfaction and took no steps to try to "right" the situation when I let him know I was unhappy with his legal services. I felt that he only cared about a pay check and did not sense that he takes pride in his work and a job well done. John Lewandowski is the most difficult and unprofessional lawyer I have ever worked with and while he likely has other, happy, clients, I am not one of them. I would not recommend his services.

John updated our old wills, created a trust, and prepared living wills. He was very knowledgeable, offering suggestions when husband & I were unsure of how to handle some aspects, and he was very patient in explaining specific language and its intent. The process was an efficient, positive experien...ce, and it was handled with total professionalism. We now have peace of mind knowing our affairs are in order and our final wishes documented.

Both my parents died within three days of each other. My father died intestate my mother died with a poorly drawn out Will with a lot of credit card debt and a house with a transfer on death. John Lewandowski helped my siblings and me with the laws of probate. He was able to explain our options and... formulate a good plan so we settle our parents estates. I highly recommend him to anyone who is dealing with the loss of a loved one. He is knowledgeable in probate law. He has compassion and empathy for his client. He is honest and trustworthy. Which is hard to find in my experience. He will work hard for you too.
