James Bruce Lewis

After talking to Attorney James Lewis, my husband and I both felt good about hiring him. He interrupted his dinner out to talk to me on a Saturday evening. We were quite upset about learning of our daughter's DUI and speeding ticket. I thought I would be leaving a message but James answered the ph...one and called me back after he excused himself from his dinner. He took the time to explain both the civil and criminal side. Our daughter had never been in trouble before. She had graduated from an outstanding college in Boston with honors where she also worked and paid for her own room and board while going to school. Having a DUI really put a damper on her future. James assured us he would do the very best he could for her under the circumstances. He worked hard and long in preparing for her trial. Because of his intense research, he was able to have the DUI and speeding ticket dismissed. For this, we will be forever grateful to James. We have absolute trust and confidence in referring him to future clients. He is experienced, dedicated to his clients and has the highest integrity. We were at a loss when this happened so I researched Yelp and Avvo and James had all great reviews. He didn't disappoint us; he is easy to talk to and always made my daughter feel comfortable. I can't say enough good things about this man. He will be the first I call if ever we are in need of an attorney. You can't go wrong with him.

I was pulled over by HPD, and received a ticket which I felt were all false charges. I contacted James Lewis and he was confident in fighting these bogus charges. When pulled over, I had a Dash Cam which recorded the entire traffic stop. This definitely helped my situation. If you need the legal assi...stance, go directly to James. I am forever grateful to James. Dismissed with Prejudice!

In Brief, I was charged with 1st DUI offense and refusal on the criminal side, ADLRO case on the civil side. Won all three charges thanks to James after a 10 months of heavyhearted court experience. After 4 drinks in the course of 5 hours one night, got pulled over on school street freeway off ram...p, cop accused that I was swerving. Did average on the road side test, kindly refused to give breathalyzer test on site, request to be taken to station. Cops were joking around with each other at the station, and proceed with rushing me through the paperwork. For whatever reason, the breathalyzer did not register. After 4 attempts, the police officer in charge thinks I am toying with the machine, and charge me with a refusal on top of my DUI, $1000 in bail total. Drinking and driving is definitely against the law, regardless of the magnitude to how drunk you are. But we are all human, and human make mistakes. Fighting a DUI case does not mean you are challenging the law, but to learn the most from it, refrain from doing such again, yet not to have your life ruined by it. Being fresh out of college, due to this case, I had my job offer withdrawn from me (regardless of result, strict). All I want is to either redo that night, or face it and treat this as a major life lesson. Dealing with the legal system is no joke. As most of us lack the in depth knowledge of the law, fighting a DUI case for oneself probably would not be wise. Looking at alternatives, hiring a lawyer, you also don't want to pay a bunch of money to someone that you have never met and has no credibility to comfort your situation. I went online and got some names, after talking to a few lawyers, James appears to be very knowledgeable and friendly, most importantly, understanding. Throughout our trials against the state, James took care of my civil and criminal cases in a relatively smooth and swiftly fashion. However I do have to admit, there were times that I got a bit frustrated at James, as the case kept on dragging and I felt that it is not moving forward as fast as I expected. But in the end, the wait was worth it, as all three charges were dismissed. One amazing thing I would like to emphasize. The first four months before I won my civil case, James continuously helping me in extending my temporary license so I can drive to work and all, so during the ten months, there wasn't one single day that I couldn't drive. James won't be the most expensive DUI specialist you will find, yet, won't be the cheapest either. I find his rate reasonable, as he has some solid reviews; The last thing you want is to hire a guy that is only interested in quickly finishing your case and take your money, disregarding the result of your case (might as well throw your money down the drain). Knock on wood, I hope I will not have to hire James again, but if the time comes, I would definitely recommend James to my friends and people I come across in the future, and myself also. Thanks James!!

I had a few charges, 3 to be exact, all of which were of high concern to me (DUI related). I met with a few attorneys both before and after my consultation with James, so I had a decent idea of what I could compare him against. I had decided that after the consultation and him having shown me what hi...s strategy would be, that I would retain Mr. Lewis. From our first meeting to our last, James never blew off a call or question. His professional demeanor and extensive knowledge of the laws regarding DUI and Hawaii state laws and procedures made this entire experience much easier to deal with. The case was dismissed without prejudice and the win was in my corner. No questions asked, I wouldn't even hire another attorney if I ever run into any kind of legal situation again. I've been arrested several times, and I have had a few attorneys who just didn't handle as well as this one. In fact, he's the best lawyer I have ever hired, no bull. My decision to drop the extra dime for a lawyer of this stature surely has left me pleased and satisfied with the outcome of my situation. James, thanks for the good work on my behalf.

Last November I was arrested and charged with DUI at a road block. Since I was new to the island and had no one to call...I had my work cut out for me. After meeting with several attorneys that seemed either lackadaisical, or just downright too expensive, I searched for an attorney through this webs...ite along with Yelp. After reading the reviews for Mr. Lewis, I reached out by email. He responded quickly and set up a time to meet. We sat down and discussed my options, the legality of the road block, and costs for his services. He was cool, calm, and collective...and after hearing that I was still looking for a job; he was more than willing to work with me AND was considerably more affordable than anyone else I had spoken with prior. Because Hawaii operates much differently than anywhere else in the nation regarding DUI's, Mr. Lewis was more than happy to keep me in the loop and up-to-date with how the case was going. I am pleased to say that my case was dismissed, my license was returned to me, and I did not have to place any equipment in my vehicle. If you need an attorney to get the job done, call Mr. Lewis. He is more than qualified for the job, he is quick to respond to any questions that you may have, and he will fight for YOU in the courtroom.
