Jeffrey Lewis

What impressed me the most about Jeff Lewis is that he knows the law and truly cares about his clients. Jeff always listened attentively, explained everything, and mapped out the legal steps that needed to be taken. He was reassuring, articulate, professional, and has an outstanding command of the la...w. I strongly recommend Jeff for anyone that has faced injustice in court and needs a path toward making things right. Jeff is one of the good guys.

Mr. Lewis is a shining example of what an attorney should be. I was really impressed with his professionalism and integrity. I was sued for writing a truthful negative online review of a business. I contacted Mr. Lewis because of his expertise in first amendment / Anti-SLAPP cases. From our first con...versation, I knew he was the perfect attorney for me. He was very responsive and great at communicating. He did an outstanding job of firmly standing up for me during negotiations with the plaintiff. His experience really showed in his ability to accurately predict the responses of the online review company involved, the plaintiff, and their counsel. Having him on my side, made me feel protected and made the legal process a lot less stressful. He clearly explained the pros and cons of all my options from my initial consultation until the case was dismissed less than a month later. As a person with serious health issues, I really appreciated having an attorney that gets things done efficiently and understands that life is short. (“too short to spend with lawyers” as he often told me.) If someone is trying to use the legal system to bully you for exercising your right to free speech, Mr. Lewis is the perfect attorney to defend you.

After being bullied and harassed and threatened by my former landlord's attorney, I left a Google Review of that attorney and filed for a court order that he stop harassing me. (I was asking for my security deposit back.) I was then SLAPPed with a defamation and malicious prosecution lawsuit by my l...andlord's attorney, who asked for well over 50 thousand dollars in damages. A real nightmare. One phone call with Jeff made me certain I was in good hands. He explained anti-SLAPP laws in CA in incredibly simple terms and I felt ready to take this on. Then, after ONE phone call with Jeff, my landlord's attorney withdrew his complaint-- he completely folded (which, by the way, did far more damage to his reputation than my silly google review). Jeff is an incredible legal talent and also an incredible people person. You're in good hands here!

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 at...torneys 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.
