A Fantastic Attorney

Richard resolved my case resulting from a car accident and he did a fantastic job. He kept me informed every step of the way; consulted with me at every juncture and got an excellent settlement for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help.

Car Accident/Personal Injury Case

I never thought I would have to use legal services and was very scared but Richard Lewis was an amazing, attentive lawyer for me in my time of need. I can not thank him enough for helping me negotiate my case with Safeco Insurance. I was in a car accident in July 2013. There was not fault on my ...side, other car came out of Northtown Mall and hit us in the side while we were on Queen St. I've never been in an accident, let alone have to deal with massive medical bills. Insurance fought that the accident didn't cause my spinal injury or the on going condition. I was scared, in a lot of pain, in wheelchair, without medical insurance. Richard took my case and work diligently to get all my medical records and kept me up to date. After all the medical had been taken care of (I had to use medicaid) and I was in the process of healing (6+ months later), we started meeting and organizing the information. Lots of back and forth and finally mediation, where Richard and the mediator Frank, fought very hard for me. I felt comfortable with is guidance and direction and I'm very happy with the end result. I'm a year and couple months out from my accident and a year out from my spinal surgery, Richard helped work to give me a security while I could recover proper. I don't wish of others to be in a similar situation as mine but if you are, I will recommend Richard Lewis. He will fight for you and keep you in the loop, he works for you. Thank you.

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.

Honest, knowledgeable and tenacious!

My husband and 3 boys were in a terrible car wreck on father's day. We thought we could handle the claims adjusters and insurance company without help. Barely a week into it we realized there was too much involved and trying to sort out our mess of a claim was way too stressful. It was then we decide...d to begin shopping for an attorney. I researched several local attorneys and after our meeting with Richard Lewis we knew he was our first choice...no questions asked. Instantly we knew we were in good hands and he had our best interest at heart. What struck me the most about Richard was that he is not your typical greedy, ambulance chasing lawyer. He carefully chooses his clients...only accepting them when he knows he can get the best results. We were thrilled about the outcome of our case. I can guarantee you'll get better results by having an experienced attorney in your corner....plus you'll have zero stress when it comes to insurance and getting your medical bills paid. The best advice I can give anyone involved in an accident is to choose to have someone fight for you. Choose Richard Lewis.

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.
