This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

A+ Appellate Lawyer

David Lewarchik is an excellent appellate attorney. His arguments are sharper than a scalpel, and he is able to dissect the opposing lawyer's argument with the precision of a surgeon. He is also quite adept at extracting concessions from the other side. Choosing him to represent you is the wises...t decision one can make in a matter of life-or-death importance.

Amazing lawyer

David Lewarchick is the best lawyer I've hired. He was hired by me to resolve sexual harassment/retaliation in higher education. He is a great listener and communicator. I was satisfied with the results.

Best all around

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
