Great. Will Re-Hire if Needed:)

I was recommended Duncan Lewis by Jason Benjamin who had represented me in my divorce and I trusted his opinion. I had a review hearing for an old Physical Control charge coming up and I had had very traumatizing experiences with this court and jail. I was convinced it was just not a smart or safe i...dea for me to show up alone and was I very nervous. I hired Duncan as recommended and I'm so glad I did! He validated all of my concerns and worries, and addressed everything I asked about. To me, he seems like a very understanding, agreeable and likeable man. He showed up early and handled things ahead of time so I was in and out of that awful court in 15 minutes flat! I could not have asked for a better outcome that day. It makes me feel a lot more confident knowing I can call him just in case, and I'm grateful for that. I highly recommend Duncan Lewis.

Exceptionally talented.

I was falsely accused of a serious crime and Mr. Lewis’ exceptional talent proved my innocence. Throughout the many months of agonizing proceedings and countless court dates, Mr. Lewis never missed a court date and he was always thoroughly prepared. Mr. Lewis was supportive of my family and I duri...ng this incredibly painful experience. I was facing prison time, loss of my career, and the ability to care for my family. Everything I had worked so arduously for my entirely life was at peril. Today, I have my freedom and my integrity is sound in the eyes of the law, family and friends because of Mr. Lewis. He has over three decades of professional experience and he is deservingly well-respected in the law community. Mr. Lewis’ diligence, breadth of experience, and professionalism helped save my life. My family and I are grateful to Mr. Lewis and we affectionately refer to him as Duncan “The Lion” Lewis. Thank you for saving my life and family’s future.

Very Thankful

Mr. Lewis is a very seasoned defense attorney and genuinely cares for his clients. He went above and beyond for my husband and helped my family tremendously. I highly recommend his services as it is hard to find someone who see's you for who you are and not your criminal offense.

We can’t thank you enough.

We retained Duncan for our son who suffers from a traumatic brain injury. If we could give him 10 stars we would. Duncan was so extremely respectful of our son and made him feel very comfortable with the entire process. He was facing 91 days in jail, his jail time was waived, probation terminated an...d fines pulled from collections. Duncan literally gave our son his freedom and his life back. Its like a mountain has been lifted off our shoulders and this burden that held him back is no longer there. I cant thank Duncan enough. Or family is forever grateful for the new chance at life we have been given.

The BEST

Duncan was by far the best attorney I’ve had and I’ve dealt with a LOT of attorneys. I no longer have the stress of my warrants or jail time. I would 150% recommend Duncan to anyone facing serious criminal charges.
