Fantastic Representation

Mark Lewis represented me on a Probation Violation from a previous court case in which he was not involved. I had to replace my prior attorney and Mark was recommended to me by a friend. While my prior attorney had issues handling my violation, Mark proved more than up to the task. He was competent, ...knowledgeable and knew every facet of what needed to be done to get my status resolved and the violation removed. His dedicated efforts on my behalf made a world of difference, from working with the probation department and the judge to knowing the science behind the drug testing. As an added bonus he was always early to the courtroom, impeccably dressed and has a very composed courtroom demeanor. I highly recommend Mark as a criminal defense attorney and if I ever required any legal counsel in the future, he is the first person I would call. You should too!

Mark was referred to me and assisted in helping my family and myself through what could have been a very difficult moment in my life. Mr. Lewis was honest, straight forward, professional and sincere. He made sure I kept my eye on what was important and that I focused on the desired end goal. Which wa...s going home free and being back with my family. His, "I don't want you to take this laying down" and "I won't let them run you over" assuredness told and showed me he was the right man for the job. I appreciate Mark for that and would recommend him to anyone I cared for who ever found themselves in dire straights and needed counsel to help them through. Thank you Mark.

Criminal defense client, charged with assault on police officer

I Recently was arrested and charged with assault on a police officer I went to my first court case without a lawyer both officer showed up in court the judge offered me one year probation and court supervision I didn't accept the charges so they gave me a month to come back with a lawyer. I was refe...rred to Mark by a fellow coworker of mine when I Contacted mark he immediately met up with me the same day and took the details of my case after accepting my case mark got to work very quickly By my next court date the officers didn't show the case was continued we came back the second time the officers did show And my case went to trial . I must say this man knows his job because the entire trial he embarrassed and humiliated the officers in a respectable and professional way not only did both the officers stories not match up ,all charges against me was thrown out , I never got a chance to even speak to the States attorney or the judge, this man single-handedly Won my case without me even Saying a word. I now use mark as my personal lawyer and has referred him to plenty of friends and family, if you need a lawyer don't hesitate to call him, he knows his job very well and he is very affordable With reasonable pricing.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mark is an amazing courtroom attorney. Recently, I had a very important criminal case and I contracted Mark to handle the trial with me. My instincts proved me right about him. He was quick on his feet, flexible, delivers powerful advocacy and completely crushed each and every witness he handled! One of the BEST!"
