Not recommended

Mr Lewis is fraudulent and is good at selling you a dream! He doesn’t show up to any court dates and only communicate when it comes to money. Anytime you ask him for an update, he makes sure he ask “when is the next time you can make a payment?” He lies about filing motions (like court cases aren’t p...ublic records)! He’s definitely not recommended!

Bad lawyer

He never does what he promises, he only shows up when i hire him and after that , never come to see you, he does not have experiences on criminal case, no office, in my opinion, this is not a good lawyer.

Bad legal service

I retained Mr. Lewis to represent my son in a criminal case. Mr. Lewis failed to keep my son informed about the stays of his case, failed to file motions as requested, stop communicating with my son, failed to appear in court, and he was paid over 8,000.00 dollar. He did not represent my son well. ... In my opinion he is not a good attorney.

Unethical

Mr. Lewis was retained by my cousin for her divorce issue. He not only took $1400.00 from and disappeared, he failed to communicate the fact that she had court dates, which almost landed her in jail. He is not worthy to be a Lawyer.
