A Focused Angel

I'm thrilled to have the representation of The Lewis Law Group and Ms. Lewis for my personal Attorney. The connection began instantly as she took the time to hear and understand my legal concerns. Since the first meeting I have left feeling totally positive that I have the right person. I recommend... their services and the method in contacting and continued updates regarding all aspects of the case. You will be pleased and gain honest knowledge of the legal concerns, be it positive or negative. I've been told by many, that her services go beyond anything imaginable ..... Call Ms. Lewis and stop worrying about the concerns and dilemmas that may be surrounding you!

Best Lawyer Ever!

Ms. Lewis helped me on more than one occasion, she kept me in the know and assured me along the way. She made sure that I understood each step in the process. I would reccomend her services to all of my family and friends.

Angel In Disguise

I never met her until the day of my trial, never knew her,previous atty, withdrew from case...but she graciously offered to assist me, and then, accepted representation for me, and did an outstanding job...only having knowledge of the case that same day in court, which was set for jury trial. Heaven ...must have sent her, otherwise I would have been lost and all alone.. I'm still lost for words, how she appeared as an angel, just when I needed someone to help me... Truly Heaven Sent ...God bless You Atty Umeka Lewis !!! Abundantly !!!

Honesty is the best policy

I have an elderly Grandfather who's blind and going through foreclosure; I called me every attorney in Houston, TX who'd take the case on such short notice. I finally tried U.A. Lewis and was so shocked that she not only took the case, but she sat with my entire family, educated us on foreclosures an...d treated us with such respect and consideration. I refer her to everyone who mentions needing legal advise or representation and keep her number on hand at all times.

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.
