also known as Colby Lewis, M. Colby Lewis
Colby is a seventh generation Texas native who specializes in civil litigation and trial. A graduate of UT-Austin and the University of Houston Law Center, Colby began his career working on a team that obtained billions of dollars for stockholders who lost money to securities fraud committed by firms all over the United States – including an energy company called Enron.
Rivaling Colby’s passion for justice is his in-depth and intimate knowledge of the strategies and tactics of those attorneys he faces. He spent many years in the trenches defending clients against wrongful injury lawsuits. He successfully defended his corporate clients against suits alleging tens of millions of dollars in damages. Colby learned their tips and tricks and seen their cunning and guile employed against plaintiffs large and small.
When you hire Colby, you are engaging a seasoned attorney who knows exactly what you will be facing on the road to justice. Unlike many of the attorneys at assembly-line firms, there’s no tactic that will catch him off guard. He’s been the corporate hired gun. He’s seen it all before, and he’s not afraid to roll up his sleeves and go toe-to-toe with opposing counsel if that’s what it takes to get you justice.
When not litigating, Mr. Lewis volunteers at the Shriners Hospital for Children as a member of the Hospital Driver’s Corps. Mr. Lewis is also active in the Houston community, serving as a Houston Stock Show and Rodeo Committeeman, Advisory Board for Oilfield Helping Hands, and as Assistant Legal Counsel for the Arabia Shrine Temple of Houston.

I am blessed that I know attorney Colby Lewis for this travesty of Justice. When the complex threw away some of our most precious possessions, the manager just laughed at us and shrug their shoulders saying; there was nothing we can do about it. We called Colby Lewis. The Texas law was not really in...

I had a slip and fall in the oil fields located in west Texas. I didn’t know what to do but I know my employer wasn’t going to do anything. I’ve known Colby for over 20 years and I’ve never sued before so I thought I would contact him. I’m so glad I did and my checking account now is glad. Now since ...

Colby laid out my options for a contract dispute I was involved in. My solution was simple. He gave me a simple answer that saved me a ton of hassle! None the less I felt heard, understood, and supported.
"Excellent attorney. Very aggressive and fights for his clients. I have and will continue to refer many litigation cases to Mr. Lewis."
"Colby Lewis is an experienced litigator with a diverse background in law. He understands the intricacies of the legal system and is well equipped to help his clients."
"I've been across the table from Colby in several cases. He is a formidable adversary. While he is aggressive, he is also very professional, and I believe that combination serves his clients well. Also, his no nonsense approach means that his clients are not wasting money--he works efficiently. He worked for a large firm, but has had even greater success working on his own. He is very sought after for representation, and it's well deserved."
"Colby is an amazing attorney. He's especially talented at finding the one important detail that will make his case. He never gives up. I've been very impressed with the effort he puts into fighting for his clients. I highly recommend him."
"I had the opportunity to work opposed to Colby on a Construction dispute in Texas. I found him to be very knowledgeable, professional, and willing to go above and beyond to advocate for his client."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Colby on a couple of cases. He's always prepared. He's smart and knows how to get the most for his clients. He knows the law and how to get what his clients need from the Court."
"I went to law school with Colby at the University of Houston: he and his partner beat me and my partner in a mock trial exercise! Colby was a diligent, engaged law student and is now an equally diligent and engaged litigator."
"Colby Lewis is a top notch litigator. I have known him for over 5 years. Using his extensive experience and intellect he aggressively fights for his clients, delivering excellent results. I endorse this lawyer."
"Having worked as opposing counsel against Colby on a high-stakes catastrophic personal injury matter involving highly complex issues, I can attest that his briefing skills, intellectual ability, and deposition savvy make him one of the top litigation defense attorneys in the Houston area."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Colby for over 10 years and have very high regard for him personally and professionally. He has very high ethics, a great understanding of the law, and an impressive courtroom presence."
"Colby Lewis is among that rare breed of attorneys who will take the time to thoroughly understand and analyze the details of your case and will then apply his skill and legal knowledge to prepare and execute a winning strategy. This is but one of the primary reasons why Colby Lewis has proven time and again that he possesses the skill and ability to deliver not only excellent advice, but excellent results."
