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.

Empathetic. Genuine. A man of integrity.

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.

Call Colby - it works!

A couple of years ago, I had an unfortunate incident in a store that led to a sudden ‘slip and fall’ due to the negligence of the cleaning staff. After the incident I was NOT the same … I had suffered continuous pain and saw my medical needs increase dramatically. After inquiring about a possible l...awyer, I was later recommended to Mr. Colby Lewis who was described affectionately as a ‘Bull-Bog’ … a passionate lawyer who will fight to the end for his clients. Unsure and hesitant, I took a leap of faith and called Mr. Lewis. Well, the call was worth it because the person that I found on the other end of the call immediately put me at ease. He was welcoming, upbeat, kind, incredibly attentive and professional. He and his staff immediately began to take care of me! The diligence and efficiency with which they worked, was impressive. I felt comforted and supported in my quest to take care of the financial burden of my rising medical costs! My experience with Mr. Lewis and his staff from the very beginning to the close of the case was nothing short of wonderful! The communication was constant, the attention to detail was amazing and the congenial nature of the staff was fabulous! But, the most important component was the relationship that Mr. Lewis formed with me as a client … He was always, focused, honest, and informative throughout the entire process. He created an atmosphere of trust and that was one of the most cherished parts of my experience working with Mr. Colby Lewis and his team. I highly recommend Mr. Colby Lewis and his team. They will NOT disappoint! It is difficult to find good representation and I was lucky to have been pointed his direction. Mr. Lewis fought for me until the very end and the outcome was quite pleasing! In my opinion, 5 stars is not even enough to capture the talent within this law firm!! Mr. Colby Lewis runs a tight ship and he delivers for his clients!!!!

Colby and his team are amazing!

I have known Colby for a long time, and so I immediately sought his help when I was rear-ended last year! The other driver's insurance company was incredibly rude and did not want to help in any way, which made me feel overwhelmed and helpless. When I contacted Colby, he knew just what to do. Despite... living in a different city than I do, he still found me great healthcare and treatment for my injuries, plus a large sum of money for personal injury and car repairs. He and his team are so friendly and helpful, and they went above and beyond to make sure I was cared for. I HIGHLY recommend Colby and his team!

High recommendation for personal injury litigation

Last summer, I went to a newly opened popular patio bar with a retractable roof. Due to an engineering oversight the cable wires were not properly installed to withstand the tensile strength to open and close the roof resulting in a snapped cable wire striking my right eye. Immediately, I was unable ...to see clearly out of my dominant eye and was worried about lifelong damage towards my eyesight. I was referred by a mutual friend to contact Colby Lewis and was a complete professional during the entire process. During our first encounter, Colby stated that being an innocent bystander in a public business should never result in a serious injury and he will fight tooth and nail to extract justice for my personal injury. He referred me towards medical treatment to a prominent Houston ophthalmologist. He took care of all communications with the construction company at fault and conducted monthly calls to discuss the progress of the case. Colby has high integrity by being upfront and honest while tempering any unrealistic expectations and settled for a sum greater than expected. I would highly recommend Colby Lewis Law for anyone looking for a lawyer for personal injury cases.

"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."
