i have clicked excellent on four counts in this review, because i feel they are correct. I,m just an average guy who was in an auto/18 wheeler accident. Mr. Lewis and his firm was the best decision I could have mad. They provided crudientals to prove there expierience in law. They did one on one c...onversations and broke everything down so i could understand what was going on. Thats how I came to trust there firm. Any questions I had, I could call or visit the office. If Mr. Lewis was not available, there was someone knowledgeable to assisst me until Mr. Lewis was available. Mr. Lewis and his firm also reached me by phone, mail and e-mail, just to keep me up to date with my case. (very informative) Best of all Mr. Lewis handled my case personally so I did not get transferred from phone to phone and person to person

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.
