If I could give this attorney 10 stars, I would

If I could give this attorney 10 stars, I would . He helped me tremendously with my situation. He knows the ins and outs of the court, and he fights for you. He is very kind-hearted, but he fights and does everything to ensure your mind is at peace. I had a situation, and it put my family business in... jeopardy, as my reputation was at stake, but no problem, he made sure I was taken care of, and in the end, we came to a resolution that was favorable to us, no press, no nothing, it was just conducted behind closed doors just like the way it should be. I'm super happy with the results and do not hesitate to talk to him to resolve your problem, it's no joke dealing with criminal situations

Lawyer that actually gets the job done

I worked with Chad to get my record reduced and sealed in Van Nuys. From the moment I first consulted, He was always available to answer questions and kept me updated. Thanks to his hard work, my record is sealed, and I can finally move forward and not have to worry about the past conviction haunting... me. If you need someone who actually gets the job done, then Chad is who should be handling your case.

having him on my side made a big difference

I hired Chad Lewin to help with my criminal case after being referred to him, and I'm happy I did. From the start, he was calm, honest, and explained everything in a way I could understand without all of the lawyer jargon. It was a very stressful time for me, but having someone like him on my side ma...de a big difference. He treated me with respect and always kept me informed. Ultimately, things turned out better than I had expected. I'm truly grateful for his help.

Very relieved father! Thank you Lewin Law Firm!

Hired him for my daughter's case; they had a lot of evidence against her, she was charged with grand theft, identity theft, and misdemeanor petty theft. He got her off with informal probation and dismissed the grand theft and identity theft charges. Mr. Lewin is an aggressive and determined lawyer wh...o will provide the best possible outcome for you

Chad gave me a second chance.

4 1/2 years ago, I was sentenced to 5 years in federal prison for a white collar offense, after taking a plea that my first attorney said was my only option. My life was on the brink of being ruined until my family found Chad. Chad and his investigators uncovered key evidence that was never used, ...including a coerced confession tied to threats against my fiancée as well. He filed a motion to vacate my conviction in federal court, and the judge granted it after months of waiting in custody. The U.S. Attorney filed to dismiss the complaint after a long talk with Chad, who pointed out all the evidence that contradicts a lot of the other evidence presented to the original attorney. Chad gave me a second chance. He’s sharp, relentless, and genuinely cares. I thank God every day that he was my lawyer, and I will never forget the hard work he put into ensuring our win during this battle.
