5 Star Review

James Lewis went above & beyond for me! James helped me to recover 10X the amount that another attorney I had working on my case was willing to settle for! He took the time to listen & worked diligently on my case. It was an uphill battle due to previous work done by the first attorney. I can’t expr...ess enough how much I appreciated his time & expertise. Thank you James for all your hard work! Steve

Hit & Run

I had hit and run accident last year which I wasn’t at fault and was so stressed, had so much questions in my head as it was my first accident experience. Hope no one will be in any car accident but in case you have one , I highly recommend to consult Lewis Injury. James helped me a lot to get throug...h this situation. Beside my claim, he also helped me to get the diminished value of my car while the other insurance company wasn’t even willing to pay accurately. He was very professional, very helpful , honest and he was always available whenever I needed to reach him (without asking any questions over the secretary and waiting for days or weeks to get the answers back). From the first day to the end , I’ve never felt alone and so glad to found him.

Great Representation

I’m so grateful to have retained James Lewis after my car accident. I ran into multiple issues with an under-insured at fault driver, and Mr. Lewis handled everything with both my insurance company and the at fault driver’s. His communication during the entire litigation was timely and efficient. He... explained things to me in both technical and laymen’s terms to make sure I understood all aspects of the process and he was always available to answer questions in a timely manner. He was able to get the maximum payout in a short amount of time. I’m so thankful for an honest and trustworthy attorney and have recommended him to several friends who have also had positive experiences.
