Great attorney!

Excellent attorney who handled my case in a very professional manner. Always willing to help when I called and handled all of my issues and concerns.

David re: Fred Lewis and my work comp claim

I had the Idaho State Insurance Fund categorically deny my claim, even though the accident was witnessed by and reported by my boss at Flatline Collision Repair here in Chubbuck Idaho. I needed an operation to repair the damage and no way to afford having it done on my own. Plus the simple fact that ...it WAS a work injury in the first place. Fred was hired by me about 6 months into the fight. He knew exactly what to do and prepared me well for the coming battle. He was very professional and kept me in the loop at all times. It took about 18 months to finish it up. Of course the case was won and Fred had everything to do with that. We all ended up ahead at the end, and although they stalled long enough so that some of my damage was permanent, the operation happened and I'm well enough to continue working. I am very satisfied with Fred, Lorna, and the rest of his staff. Thank you! DMC

FRED GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR YOU AND YOUR CASE!

Hiring Fred Lewis for my Workman's Comp Case was the best decision I ever made! He is a dedicated lawyer who did what he said he was going to do and much much more! Fred went out of his way to accommodate me, kept me updated, and was very easy to get in touch with. He definitely knows what he's doing...! He doesn't just settle; he fights for you to get you the very best results! He's personal and easy to get along with. My family and I trust him whole heartedly and are grateful to consider him a friend

Fred put me at ease

Fred was very up front with me. His experience and success with worker's comp put me at ease. Fred kept me filled in on new developments in my case and was encouraging throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone.

I don't know what I would have done without him

Fred stepped in and acted as a savior for me and my case. He was always prompt in getting information to me and updating me on the case. He had great knowledge about the case law and experience that helped with my case. I don't know what I would have done with out Fred.
