Jeffrey Lewis

Got sued for speaking my mind in public. Jeff filed an anti-SLAPP motion that looked like a Supreme Court brief. Got the individual who sued me to pay all of my costs. Jeff knows his stuff cold, and he's a nice guy too!

Hiring an attorney is a scary thing sometimes. I called and spoke with a number of lawyers, and chose Jeffery because of his responsiveness, directness, and my sense of his integrity, as well as his experience in my filed of concern. Candidly, I was very worried about his billable hours, as many attorneys I spoke with seemed to need thousands of dollars before even really getting started. I was pleasantly surprised to find that he took just the time he needed to handle the communication I needed him to address (one issue billed out at under two hours over a period of several weeks - it isn’t the cost per hour as much as the time a particular attorney needs and how he calculates his time). He kept me up to date by email so I never felt out of the loop, followed my requests, and gave candid and valuable advice that, far more often than not, limited his compensation and always looked out for my interests. Jeffrey negotiated a $100K+ (unreasonably high) lawsuit down to about $7K in one instance, and navigated a difficult negotiation for me in another situation with a very difficult, unreasonable, and vindictive individual. As a small, family business, these two issues could have been very impactful on us without good representation. I do hope I never need his litigation orientated services again, but he has my trust and my business for my legal needs in the future, and I unreservedly recommend him.

Mr. Lewis kindly agreed to represent me in the malicious prosecution case filed against me and my previous attorneys without any basis.  He took my case at the beginning of 2014, thoroughly studied  numerous volumes of evidence in the underlying case, and recommended that I file an Anti-Slapp motion. His office prepared  all necessary documents in a highly professional manner. During the preparation period he very clearly explained me all important points and promptly answered all my numerous questions. All motion papers were filed in timely manner. Mr. Lewis won this case despite the fact that Plaintiff was an experienced lawyer and the owner of a law firm which has a multiple law offices all over California with many high-ranked attorneys at his disposal. During the five years since my underlying case began to develop, I have met quite a few attorneys (actually, more than 12).  Unfortunately, most of them did not deserve any good words and were only trying to take advantage of clients in vulnerable situations.  Mr. Lewis was the outstanding exception from this trend. I consider Mr. Lewis' work, professionalism, and attitude as rare demonstration of what attorney and human being should be.  I am highly satisfied with his firm services that exceeded all my expectations.   He has worked with me hand by hand all the time and constantly explained to me all my options so I could chose the best way of action. He was strong enough representing me at the court hearing despite a questionable tactics often used by opposite side. I wish Mr. Lewis success in all his future cases and I am sure that all his future clients will be in good, reliable, and clean hands. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs trustworthy and professional attorney.

The public medical center where I work had a dispute with a real estate development firm. Sadly, the issue escalated, and the real estate firm sued the medical center and two individuals. Fortunately for the medical center and me, Jeff Lewis was our counsel. He is very diligent and a knowledgeable attorney who went above and beyond my expectations! Throughout the entire process – from depositions to trial – Jeff kept us informed each step of the way. He took time to explain and educate me on the process. He identified various options on how to proceed and discussed possible outcomes as well as the business impact. I am impressed that he is so personable and understanding with clients, and then tough and appropriately aggressive in the court room. He is professional, and remained professional despite some questionable tactics by opposing counsel. He is always responsive and is well versed on the law. We are lucky we hired him and had a good outcome. If the need arises in the future – it’s Jeff and his team who I will seek out to assist!

Mr. Lewis is very pleasant to work with, very knowlegable for what he dose, utilizing the most expert professional in his deposition. He will be very highly recommended to my friends and relative whom needing legal assistant in the areas of his experties. He talks very clear and well, gets to the point fast and help to achieve your legal rights.
