Knows what he's doing

Kern kept me very confident through the entire process and personally called me after my cased was dismissed. I keep his email and phone number stored in my phone for all business and personal legal guidance.

Review of client services of Kern Lewis

Kern has handled cases for our company for more than 20 years. He is an outstanding atorney. Corporate Law, Texas Law, Federal Law, any law, he has become an expert in every challenge we have given him. His greatest asset is his ability to think outside the box. His solutions and suggesting are r...ight first time, every time. He thinks on his feet. His wealth of knowledge serves him and his clients well. He is willing to take the time to help immediately if there is a crisis issue to be handled. A+ in my book.

Fantastic! Awesome Job in the Courtroom!

Kern represented me after a horrible accident that changed my life. I had no family locally and he was not only my lawyer but helped me with all the things I was unable to handle during my hospitalization and rehab. He was very kind to me. I trust him completely. We went to trial against a whole tea...m of lawyers for the big company on the other side and Kern was more competent than all of them. We won the biggest verdict the judge had ever presided over. I highly recommend him.

Oustanding Attorney

This law firm is the best I have ever dealt with. Rafe, Kern and Susan pour all of their energy into their cases and work harder than I could have ever imagined to do the very best for their clients. I am proud to have been able to work with such an outstanding firm in a very difficult matter for m...y family. We couldn't have asked for a better group of attorneys

"I endorse this warrior's work. Kern and his firm are, without exception, some of the finest lawyers in the country. He frequently takes the difficult, "unwinable" cases and achieves verdicts for his clients. He is able to accomplish this because he cares to discovery the facts that led his clients to come to him, and the effects that their injuries will likely have upon their lives. I would commend family and close friends to Kern without hesitation."

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.
