extremely unprofessional. worst lawyer I have ever worked with.

John Lewandowski used an outdated form for the state of Ohio and also completed forms incorrectly for estate planning, causing the forms to be rejected by the end recipient.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.

Dr.

John was hired as co-counsel for a will contest against my brother and sister here in Youngstown/Mahoning County. He was here numerous times, was always available via cell phone or email and kept me constantly updated. This was over a 6 month period. He also kept in regular contact with the atty here... in town. The trial against my evil siblings was settled out of court as I could not have asked for anything better. Do not believe any negative reviews against Atty Lewandowski. I spent a considerable amount of money on attorney fees and depositions but it was well worth it. The decision ended up favorably for me mainly due to this man's tireless efforts. We will continue the friendship that developed between us and plan on keeping in touch and visiting regularly.

Very Positive Experience

We hired John to help us after my brother-in-law died without a will. There was a lot of bickering between the siblings, especially when we found out that one sister had convinced my brother-in-law (who had dementia) to put everything in her name. John met with us to gather the information, and the...n he patiently walked us through each step. It was kind of a mess but John was calm throughout the entire process and helped us get everything straightened out. We are very happy with the service he provided. Everyone at his office is friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend John and his law firm to anyone needing a lawyer.

Made a mess of my case

A very big mistake, absolutely terrible representation. John was never was up to date with the details of my case, every conversation was a repeat of the same information that he was previously given, as he seemed to have retained nothing and was prepared for nothing. His inattentiveness to the case ...was truly beyond the pale. if you need a lawyer who can stay on top of your case and not do most the work yourself, look elsewhere. I ended up doing most of the work myself and ultimately had to hire another lawyer to fix his very costly mistakes. Of course it always makes you look bad when you switch lawyers.

Disapointing

My experience with John P. Lewandowski and his law firm has been a disappointing experience from nearly the moment he was retained. . I hired John Lewandowski to negotiate a business dispute in the summer of 2017 . The lack of his ability to retain/comprehend information and properly communic...ate with me is truly unimaginable. I would not want anyone to experience the many months of frustration that I have endured. This matter is still not resolved but they have all my money. I have tried numerous time to contact and communicate with John's Law Firm with no meaningful response. It's hard for me to understand that anyone that dedicates themselves to passing the bar exam would conduct themselves in this manner.
