Legal Review for Richard Lewis

Richard has helped me with legal issues a number of times and I have found him to be knowledgeable, fair and always returns calls promptly. He will consult fellow attorneys if needed and has spent time with me to explain the issues in order to make concrete and concise decisions. If I were aske...d to describe Richard in one word, I would say he is fair. For me, this was very important and he has always lived up to any expectations I might have of him. I would certainly recommend Rich to others if needed. I call him a friend.

Richard Lewis is an Excellent Attorney!

Following a severe MVA in December 2009, my husband was unconscious and I had to act alone to decide how to proceed. Thank God I found Richard Lewis. He was there in person, on the phone, or email whenever things felt tough. He was always personable and knowledgeable. He really made a very bad situat...ion resolve better than it would have without his expertise.

Client review

Mr. Lewis worked with me after an auto accident where I ended up with a partial amputation of my foot. He was sensitive to my needs and used creative problem solving to complete negotiations and resolve this case in a way that was satisfying to me. During his work with me, I found Richard to be pleas...ant to talk to, and he helped make the legal process more understandable. I am grateful for his patience and unhurried communication style. I never felt he was pressed for time when talking to me and he answered questions thoroughly. I would highly recommend Mr. Lewis because of his integrity, honesty, and willingness to work for what was best for me within the constraints of the legal options. His knowledge of the case was impressive as was his willingness to research alternative avenues. And lastly, but most importantly, Richard's kindness and gentle manner were and are greatly appreciated. In essence, he rocks!!!
