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.

Houston's Elite Injury Attorney who brings home your money!!

I was rear ended in a three car accident a little over a year ago and thought I could navigate the process myself. The person who caused the accident was under insured and my vehicle was last in line of the accident and was not covered. I was referred to Colby Lewis by a friend and by far that was th...e best decision I could have made. Colby is down to earth and set realistic expectations. He delivered on everything that he said he would, and never over promised. In the end he was able to put a substantial amount of funds in my pocket and connect me with some great medical professionals in the process. Again, hiring Colby was the best decision I could have made. He won me the max awarded over $100,000 by insurance PLUS got me the full amount allotted for the uninsured motorist. This is unheard of when you are the last vehicle in the accident. Colby is so confident and truly the best in his practice that he not only took me on as a client but got me the medical attention needed AND a FULL SETTLEMENT. Colby is an honest loyal attorney and I always felt like I was his top priority. He will answer all calls, text and emails 7 days a week. To top it off, the day he received the settlement I had the funds in my hand within 24 hours. Do yourself a favor and contact Colby for any personal injury needs. You’re definitely in good hands!

Best experience ever

Many things can be said about my experience with Colby. If you are looking for someone treat you like a number or another case this is not the guy you are looking for but if you need someone that will fight for you and get you ever dollar you deserve this man is right for you . I can honestly say Col...by toke the absolute best care of me and my case. He made sure that every step of the way I was well informed and knew the direction of my case. He set up all my doctor visits then made sure I got the full value of my case to help me along with my recovery. Thank you so much to Colby and his team .

Head on collision while parked!

After being hit near head on by an impaired driver while I was parked watching my son fishing I was given a recommendation for Mr. Lewis by a physician who had worked with him in the past. I have NEVER regretted contacting him. He has been an excellent advocate for me as I have gone through this expe...rience. My medical care has been great and there has been no out of pocket expenses. We are awaiting the final settlement check which should cover what I lost due to my injuries and what I had to do to compensate in my daily life as a result of those injuries. I would HIGHLY recommend Colby if you have been injured in an accident.

Colby got me my life back

When I was hit, I didn’t know what to do. Being hit by someone you never saw coming and having your vehicle totaled is a singularly terrifying experience. Thankfully, a friend referred me to Colby. Between my confusion, my head injury, my shock, and my fear, I really had no idea what to do. But C...olby did. He took care of everything and helped me understand the process. Because of Colby, I got good medical care and I got to rest easy knowing Colby was taking care of everything. A lot of lawyers just want to take your money, but Colby wants to give you money. From the beginning, he knows what really matters: YOU. Sure, he has to get paid, but he honestly wants to make sure you’re taken care of. That’s why he’s so successful: he puts everyone else first. His staff is also excellent, helpful, and kind. I recommend Colby and his staff at 11/10. Because of Colby, I have recovered from my injuries, and I will have enough money to get my life back on track. Thank you, Colby.

Colby Lewis is a Miracle Worker!!

After a not at fault car accident, months later I was still trying to negotiate with insurance company and getting nowhere, i was needing more medical treatment and bills were piling up. Mr. Colby Lewis came highly recommended from a close family friend whom i trusted. He immediately took charge of ...the case, stopped the bill collectors from calling me, got me in to medical facilities for treatment, found good doctors, numerous tests, two surgeries and over 125 physical therapy sessions. My medical bills alone were several hundred thousand dollars. Recently he successfully negotiated a very complicated settlement without going to court, with the insurance company paying out in full so my medical expenses were all covered with no expense to me. In addition I was finally paid back for my totaled out car and my personal expenses regarding the crash. I also unexpectedly received a large cash settlement which allowed me to pay off my car, all my credit card bills, and still leaving me with enough to put my life back together. I cant tell you how much Colby and his team have changed my outcome, i would be permanently disabled and filing bankruptcy if not for him. Colby is a first rate attorney and advocate, with great attention to detail, expert knowledge of the law and a compassion for his clients i hadnt found elsewhere. Please dont hesitate to call him -you will be in good hands and wont regret it. Highly recommended!! Thanks Colby, you are the best!

"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."
