The best lawyer(s) out there!

Randy Lewis and his team are the best lawyers out there you’re going to find. Take it from me I had a 15 year felony and they really saved my life on this case. I worked with both Randy Lewis and Jessica hollan. They both took this case personally and went above and beyond to committing their all, No...t only their time to helping me get a more lenient sentence. That 15 year felony became a sentence of 4 weekends, to be served consecutively in a three step reduction. I just can’t say it any other way, they are the best you will find in Michigan! Day or night rain or shine, Randy and his team are happy to take your call and help you with the legal council you deserve. Give them a call today!!! You can’t put a price on your life, so why trust anyone else with your future and overall quality of life? No matter the case they’re not afraid to win, and they WILL NOT let you down.

Not all superheroes wear capes!

I had called several lawyers prior to engaging Lewis & Dickstein. They were all awful. They only seemed interested in the money, I was just another number and wouldn't fight for me or my family. My husband happened to come across several reviews on Lewis & Dickstein which prompted us to have a call w...ith them. The call led to an in-person meeting. Once I met Mr. Lewis, I felt instantly comforted knowing he had my back and best intentions at heart and would fight for me. Mr. Lewis exceeded expectations. From the first time I spoke with him he told me "I won't let you down, I won't let anything happen to you"...and indeed, he did not. I was charged with drunk driving with high BAC. It was my first offence. I was beyond scared. I was facing possible jail time, lengthy probation and rigorous alcohol testing. Mr. Lewis guided me every step of the way. Advising on what to do and not what to do. He was always available, and responded to every question and worry I had. He was firm but fair with me, no BS. The Judge assigned to my case was widely known for her strict stance on DUI. This did not phase Mr. Lewis one bit, he often reiterated "he won't let anything happen to me". Mr. Lewis was able to negotiate a lower charge of operating while intoxicated, which I plead guilty to. This all happened in a short period of time - it felt like forever - but I was assured this was a quick turnaround. Days before sentencing, I had a violation by missing one of my three daily test times. I was not aware I missed it. As soon as I was aware I went for a urine test, but was outside the allocated 12 hour time frame. This was terrifying. I had been so diligent throughout the process and to miss one right before sentencing was beyond frightening as I knew this would not look good to the Judge. Mr. Lewis and I may have had a few cross words following this incident, it was all in my best interest, and he continued to fight hard for me. At sentencing, Mr. Lewis not only had my testing violation dismissed, he miraculously got me NO jail time, NO probation, no therapy or AA. All I had to pay were some fines. This outcome went beyond my husband and my expectations. It was truly unbelievable. My family and I are eternally grateful to Mr. Lewis! Thank you Randy.

An attorney who gets amazing results

Randy was such a wonderful lawyer. He was available when needed and returned calls and e-mails promptly. He achieved nothing short of a miracle(even the judge agreed) keeping my case in district, avoiding circuit court altogether and getting the charges reduced, ultimately getting a period of probati...on instead of jail. I could not be happier with the results and it's all because of Randy and his capable team. Do not hesitate to consult with or hire this firm as they are well respected and extremely influential in court. If you are facing charges in Royal Oak or anywhere in Oakland county this firm is your best bet for a favorable outcome.

Absolutely outstanding

Randy is one of the best if not THEE best attorneys I have ever met. I was facing a 3rd violation on a 2nd alcohol related offense at the 48th district court. I met with several other attorneys before Randy, all of whom said I would get the max amount of jail which was 90 days for my charge. When ...I met with Randy he promised he would fight for me and wouldn’t let me go to jail. I didn’t believe him because I had been through a few attorneys up until this point who were only interested in doing the least amount of work for the max amount of money, and didn’t really care what happened to me. I took a chance and hired him despite the hefty legal fee. He was the only attorney that came up with ideas to fight my alleged violation and that’s exactly what he did. He fought for me and took my probation violation to trial! He told me exactly what to expect before the trial and helped me prepare for the best outcome. Anytime I contacted him, he was there to answer all of my questions and concerns. I was very frightened and was most definitely preparing for the worst even though he kept telling me things were going to be ok. He was brilliant! I ended up getting 2 WAM weekends when everyone else was telling me max jail time. Talk about under promising and over delivering! He spent time on my case and genuinely wanted to help me out of this jam. My only regret is not hiring him sooner, he would have saved me a lot of trouble and heartache. If you want a team of attorneys and staff who truly care about you’re well being, don’t treat you like a criminal, will be honest and ethical, and will not be afraid to win then this is who you need to hire. Worth the weight in gold!!!!

Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I know who wrote this because the case occurred last week. I'm so pleased that I was able to help and you received a fantastic outcome that you were happy with. I really appreciate your kind words of endorsement. There is one thing that I would like to clear up though, which is I can never promise that someone will not go to jail. That is always the goal, but never a guarantee. As your words above indicate, our firm is diligent and we will leave no stone un-turned because we are not afraid to win, therefore, we don't let our clients down.

Man of his word!

Thank you to Attorney Lewis. I was arrested for my first OWI offense as well as a weapon’s charge. Randy was fantastic from the start. Being that I had never been in trouble with the law before it was quite a freighting experience in the beginning but Randy was always there re-assuring me that everyt...hing was being handled properly and under control. I had contacted a couple of other lawyers before him who left me with an uneasy and unsure feeling on the outcome, however Randy was straight down to business and gave me the confidence I needed to battle through this. Randy was not afraid to fight for me. He was honest throughout the whole process and a man of his word. Randy and his team were always available to address my questions. With everything that I was facing the outcome was the best I could have hoped for! Thank you for your confidence and professionalism! I highly recommend his services to anyone who finds themselves in a legal bind.

"Randall is a tenacious, aggressive defender. It is a well-known fact that he is not intimidated by the prosecution’s threat to take a case to trial. If his client’s case does proceed to trial, he will be fastidiously prepared. This fact alone benefits Randall’s clients. However, in addition to his fighting spirit, Randall is blessed with the ability to creatively think outside the box in order to solve those pesky unique issues which arise in every criminal matter."

"I have practiced family law for over 15 years. Over the past 6 years I have referred dozens of my clients to Mr. Lewis when they have been charged or have been threatened to be charged with a crime or been subjected to a Personal Protection Order. Mr. Lewis has represented my clients vigorously and professionally and has achieved unparalleled results in court. While other criminal defense lawyers consistently take the easy route by allowing their clients in domestic cases to plea to charges to which they are not guilty, Mr. Lewis stands for what is right and wins. I highly recommend him to anyone in this situation."

"I worked with Randy on an important felony case involving a vehicular manslaughter a few years back and noted that he did a great job keeping his client from getting charged with a felony. Fast forward to today. I was waiting in Judge Chabot's courtroom and had the opportunity to listen to Randy conduct a sentencing hearing for a client that pled guilty to a serious felony; the stakes were very high. What struck me was how thoroughly prepared he was for everything that came up, and how zealously he guarded and advanced his client's interests against the prosecutor's arguments. He did a superb job for his client and minimized his exposure to incarceration under some very tough circumstances. My professional conclusion, you cannot go wrong by hiring Mr. Lewis; he is a credit to our profession."

"I have known Mr. Lewis for the past 10 years, and throughout that time he has maintained the same consistent level of professionalism inside and outside of the Courthouse. Randy is truly an example of a fighting attorney. He aggressively works a client's file to reach the client's desired result. In the cases that I have referred, the results achieved were better than what my client had hoped to accomplish. The best compliment that I can relay about Mr. Lewis is this .... if my family or I needed the assistance of a criminal defense attorney, Randy's office would be the only call that I would make."
