Very Professional and Knowledgeable

Chris has been very helpful and knowledgeable, answering my many questions. He has been great in insuring that I have all my legal responsibilities covered and brought to my attention important documents that I was missing. I really trust him.

Chris Lewis - Trustworthy all the Way

Chris Lewis is a man of integrity and morality. His desire to keep us informed of his actions on our cases put him a step (a few steps, actually) above other counsel with whom we have dealt. When asked questions that he might not have answers to, Chris made a concentrated effort to get us the answe...rs we sought. He never shied away when he did not know an answer; in fact, he worked hard to find us the answers we needed. To us, that shows a person who wants to please his clients and maybe learn something himself in the process. Chris Lewis is an attorney who would most definitely receive a recommendation from us.

I'm glad he was on my side

I was involved in a land transaction in which I needed professional help. Chris is the Attorney that I chose. He was up against an Attorney who was very forceful and loud. Chris was calm and steady and we ended up with a satisfactory contract. The problems were caused by the Realtor adding terms into... the contract that the other party wanted with out me knowing about it. Chris did a great job. I have been back to him on another matter and received the same great results.

Soft-Spoken Helper With My Values

When I first began to use Christopher Lewis for legal services, I wondered how he in his small office would be able to handle the wide range of issues I needed help with. I was looking for someone who had the same values I had, someone who would not bend the law and also be able to explain to me what... he was doing so I could feel secure that I could be comfortable about the course I had chosen for my properties. We have two businesses plus several rentals. We also have houses that were once residences and are now rentals. Mr Lewis kept it simple for us, and the fees were reasonable. What I really appreciated was the clarity of thought he showed us, and his insistence on not compromising the letter of the law. We learned about several structure options we had, and now, several years later (six or seven years), we find we are well structured. We have been able to keep all our rentals at a time when others like us have had to take a big loss and sell prematurely. We are expanding our use of him. And not only for legal work - he has recently been able to refer us to an excellent tax accountant. This has been a good association for us. I recommend him for those who like a smart, humble lawyer who puts his clients first, not his earnings, whether for his services or in settlements, according to friends who have used him.

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.
