CAUTION

Kenneth Lewis is an incompetent lawyer & he doesn't care about his clients. He refused to prepare for court so I lost my case. I needed a restraining order so my neighbor kept harassing me.

SIMPLY THE BEST

I hired Ken to appeal an adverse administrative decision that required taking the matter up, on a Writ to the LASC. From the moment we made contact, Ken began advocating for me. He was extremely understanding, he had tremendous knowledge about the inner workings of municipal government and administra...tive matters, and he was empathetic to my issue. His fee was incredibly reasonable and he allowed me to consult with him whenever any additional issues came up. Throughout the entire proceedings, he worked effortlessly and tirelessly to reverse the wrong. Prayerfully and Thankfully - WE PREVAILED! Thank you Ken Lewis because you figurately saved my life. He is intelligent, has a calm demeanor, and he cares about his clients. I highly recommend him!

Great help with an overwhelming situation

Ken was so helpful with my small claims appeal. It was a very stressful situation and he was incredibly comforting. He took a lot of time to listen and asked great questions. He put me at ease at what to expect in court and helped prepare me. I felt much more confident with Ken by my side. It was ...a very happy day when we won my case.

You have been warned.

I hired Mr. Lewis to defend me in a federal criminal matter. I was lied to from day one. Mr. Lewis and his business partner Stephen G Rodriguez have developed an internet marketing campaign and have a perfected streamlined criminal defense workload. They advertise on their websites for so many differ...ent fields of criminal defense, they do not have the experience in many of these fields. They will not work hard to defend you. They actually will not defend you at all. I had to argue my own plea agreement because they refused to do it. They cant wait to take your money and have you sign the first plea agreement offered. If it wasnt for my own personal effort and hiring another consultant for my case for another 8k and left it up to these two guys I would have received 10 years easy. It was the most difficult time of my life and these lawyers took advantage of me and my money. I highly suggest you do your research and find a more appropriate attorney to defend you there are a small handful of attorneys in Los Angeles that will actually work hard for you. Mr. Lews is definitely not one of them.

Excellent Criminal Attorney!

Ken and his office provided the best customer service I have seen in a long time! We set a game plan for my case and we stuck to it. Ken and his staff kept me informed the entire time. I knew what was going on and what was filed when. I am glad I hired Ken to defend me in my criminal case. I co...uld have gone to jail. Instead I got a second chance at life. Thanks Ken! If you need a criminal attorney in Los Angeles, call his office as soon as possible!
