I HELP INJURED PEOPLE RECOVER BENEFITS WHEN THEY NEED THEM THE MOST.

My father was a life long member of the Teamsters Union. He drove a truck to support our family. I grew up in a working class neighborhood. I connect with people who work for a living. When they get hurt I am ready to battle the workers compensation insurance company so they receive every penny they deserve under Idaho law. This is my passion and why I practice law.

Best lawyer you can get for a hand case!
After my fiance crushed gas hand we wanted to find the best lawyer we could to go against workmans cono to get him what he deserved. We found Fred Lewis. What a blessing! He is kind, personable, and beyond knowledgeable in his profession. In the end we settled for way more than we could have ever got on our own. Fred was willing to do whatever it took to settle our case. Thank you Fred. You have changed our lives for the better.

Life saver
Fred has a very caring & professional way of getting the job done! He does not quit even when things get tough! He is honest, & very straight forward with all aspects of my husband's case. It was a long road, but Fred was,patient, understanding & listens to all concerns, frustrations that came up along the way. I would highly recommend Fred Lewis, his Legal assistant, Monique was very helpful & knowledgeable as well. I can never say thank you enough for all the help & hard work you put in Fred, THANK YOU!! .

The only Lawyer that would take my case. Fred Lewis
Fred Lewis was the only one to take my case out of about six phone calls. My case was work comp, it was a diffecult case. I won my case. Fred is a very understanding and patient person. He let me vent when things would bother me. He listens and hears what your saying. I give my word you can't go wrong with Fred. If you don't understand something he takes the time out to explain things in a way you can understand It. I'm a former detention officer understand a lot about the law, but not when it came to this. I would pic Fred to represent me all over again. Sincerely.

I refer all friends to Fred Lewis
I have been with Fred Lewis at Racine Lewis for about 11 years now. I was on workman's comp for 10 years and had 9 surgeries. Fred and Lorna were always very professional and always had my best interest at heart. I have referred many people to him over the years and they have all been very happy with the outcome. I would recommend Mr. Lewis to anyone looking for a great work comp. lawyer.

Praise for a Complicated Workman’s Comp Case
Nothing was normal about my workman’s comp case. It was very complicated with private insurance, medicare, and the industrial commission. Fred was very knowledgable, pivoted when needed and handled each wave with professionalism and knowledge. We are nothing but happy with the end result and look forward to the new beginning that we are given as a family because of Fred. Thank you so much!

Best firm ever!
I've had 2 cases here. A divorce and a work comp. Both experiences were awesome. The divorce went better than I expected. The work comp was with Fred Lewis he did amazing! I thought there was no chance but he turned mole hills into mountains! We settled out with more than I ever thought possible! Very pleasant to work with and an exelant staff. Thanx to you too Lorna! Definitely worth more stars than I can give!
