Fast, courteous and thorough

I was dealing with a situation in that a business was trying to scam me and my home. They were trying to provide a service that I did not need nor did I hire them for the business. They mailed a letter stating that they were going to complete the service on the outside of my home and if I did not sig...n a form and return it by a certain date for payment they were going to put a LIEN on my home. I never ever heard of this company before. I contacted Attorney Lewis and within a matter of hours she drafted and mailed out a cease and desist correspondence. She listened to my concerns and responded with compassion and understanding and handled it promptly. I never heard from that company again. I will definitely utilize her and her skills again in future situations.

Posted by anonymous | June 10, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I retained this attorney and the whole experience was very challenging. She made snide remarks when I had to meet with her and I chalked it up to juvenile Jealousy as I'm a Righteousness Woman of God. I experienced a job loss as a Federal Government Employee, forced to resigned & retire on February 2...8th 2025 with administrative leave(full salary until September 30th 2025) and this Woman didn't file a motion to dismiss. Instead she kept me on the chapter 13 wage earner plan, knowing that this is major life event and she didn’t give a darn because of my husband's income which is less than the prior year. She put some many road blocks in my path, such as requesting of her a emergency bankruptcy filing twice in November 2024, and once in December which she ignored all requests and my car was repossessed on Christmas Eve December 24th, 2024. If you want someone to listen, show kindness and very helpful with their skills, stay away from her, especially if you are decent looking and not conceited with it. I promise you that she will make you feel like you're working for her, if you know what I mean. Broad Karma/Reaping what's Sowed is Real and you're about to go through some really tough changes & it's okay since you Messed over a Chosen One, Prophet, Seer, and with the Gift of Healing who is Ordained by God. You flunked the test that He put before you. Psalm 37:1-40

GREAT!!!

I filed for bankruptcy. I have to say I was more than prepared to take care of whatever needed to be done. But Ms. Lewis basically took care of the majority of it. She answered any and ALL my questions fast. She kept me updated when I needed it. She new everything that needed to be done. I look forwa...rd to keeping her contact info for the future. 10/10 if you need legal help.

Through throughout!

She's a wonderful Attorney! She made sure any & all needs were addressed prior to court. She made my court process seem less. I would always recommend her!
