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 !!!

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.
