Richard Lewis

Richard assisted me with a claim against my insurance, the day I hired him it was like a weight was lifted from my shoulders. He did a great job collecting the data and presenting my case. I am very pleased with all Richard all he and Frank did. If I have the opportuntiy I will refer people his direc...tion.

I highly recommend Richard Lewis for Injury Cases

I came to Richard Lewis when I slipped and fell in a local grocery store. When I realized that the other party was stating to me that they wanted to settle. I contacted Richard Lewis to make sure that I wouldn't be bullied into settling too soon before my treatment begun. I am glad I did. Richard an...d his staff were highly professional and were also responsive to questions in an appropriate amount of time. He professionally handled the other party, and not once in the process did I feel that Richard and his staff weren't in my corner. In the end we were able to reach a settlement that was satisfactory . I highly recommend Richard Lewis and his associates for injury cases.

A good one to have on your side

I was the victim in a car accident in 2010, when another driver ran through a stop sign and caused damage to my car and to myself. I hired Rich Lewis to help navigate through the insurance system. I found him to be attentive to detail, an expert at dealing with insurance and provider issues as the...y arose, and skilled at determining the best strategy to pursue along the way. My verdict- He is someone you want on your side if you are in an accident!

Motor vehicle accident with injury

Having Richard and his law office to field insurance and legal issues following my no-fault MVA with injuries was nearly priceless; dealing with my physical limitations and required operations was more than enough for me to handle. Mr. Lewis is the quintessential professional - extremely knowledgeabl...e, helpful, and able to achieve the best outcome in a timely manner.
