Please read all poor reviews They are spot on!

Will tell you what you want to hear and when the retainer is cleared your out 5k. If the case requires him to do anything other than show up for the court date your on your own. You will be your own paralegal and still that will not be enough. And when it came time for litigation everything that we s...aid we agreed upon and agreement that was met with other party involved was not the same as the agreement letter written so I did not sign and return. I was then called by him asking why I would not sign the papers and I told him I didn’t agree to what was in the papers he then tried to say that was what was agreed upon and if I didn’t sign them he would no longer represent me and I’d be out the money I already paid him. Not only did he take my money and run with it the attorney that referred him to me took 2k as well just for referring him.

John Lewandowski extremely helpful very knowledgeable probate attorney

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.

Super attorney honest and helpful with probate and estate law

My sister died with a will and a Transfer on Death, and Pay on Death. She lived in Toledo, Ohio. I live in Dayton, Ohio. My sister the named executor, lied about the estate and didn't probate our deceased sisters will. It was a real mess. I retained John Lewandowski to help find out what was really g...oing on with her estate. My dishonest sister took all the money and sold the house and kept the money for herself. We were all named beneficiaries in the will. But because my dead sister didn't put all our names on the T.O.D., and the P.O.D. we got none of the bulk of her estate. John Lewandowski investigated the estate, explained our options, and gave us sound legal advise. He was fair and honest with us. He helped us understand the laws of probate. I found his council very helpful. I have not come across an attorney with such high integrity, honesty, and compassion. He has empathy for his clients. He took my case and worked with us so we didn't have to travel three hours one way just to meet with him. I called several other attorneys who did not want to help us without the hours of travel. He went above and beyond to help us. I know if you retain him as we did, you will be satisfied and pleasantly surprised. As we were.

Refused to file the lawsuit I hired him to file

I was a client of John Lewandowski. I hired him to file a lawsuit. Instead of filing the lawsuit he pressured me into signing a settlement offer that was not only against my best interests but could expose me to a lifetime of financial and criminal liablity. He argued forcefully for me to agree to a ...deal that in my opinion, strongly favored the other side and had no upside for me. 10 months after hiring John Lewandowki, he quit after I finally demanded that he file the lawsuit he was hired to file. He told me that filing this lawsuit was "foolish and a waste of time " and that he "wanted no part of it". but thats not what he told me before I hired him and paid his 5k retainer which was almost all spent on his failed settlement talks which I were opposed to for many reasons. (He did refund me approximately 1k of the 5k retainer balance). Before I hired him he said, in writing, that I had a good case and a good argument and that he felt confident he could achieve in litigation what I hoped to achieve.
