About Lewis
Biography
As a former insurance defense lawyer I know that victims of pesonal injury will be taken advantage of by the insurance companies and their attorneys unless agressive, experienced and competent personal injury attorneys are willing to help. I am a personal injury attorney and have received an "AV" rating which is the highest rating an attorney can receive from his peers and the judiciary. I am known to fight all the way through trial to get my clients the compensation they deserve. To learn more about me you can contact me through my website, or directly at.

Lewis Gazda
Replied last August 20, 2019Valerie and Melissa have left several comments. As I stated in other responses: Valerie and Melissa unfortunately experienced the very tragic loss of their father. I was originally retained to represent one of the sisters and after both sisters contacted me it was clear that the sisters had a conflict of interest. As such, I was not able to represent either one of them. After informing them they would have to seek alternative counsel they posted their negative comments. I wish them the best of luck.
