THE BEST LAWYER

I contacted Lewis to represent me in my automobile accident case. From the moment I first spoke to Lewis about the case it was obvious he knew the law and was very experienced. He explained that entire process of what could happen and was available to answer all of my questions. When he called to ...tell me he had a settlement offer i was very happy but he told me the offer not fair as it was too low and he would work on getting me what he felt I deserved. A few days later he called me back and told me he was able to get more money that he believed was fair. I was ecstatic! I was very happy with Lewis and his entire staff who answered my numerous questions and helped me when I needed it the most. I will definitely come back to Mr. Gazda if I ever need attorney and highly recommend him to everybody that has been injured.

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.
