I must say that Paul Lewis, who represented my mother in her auto accident court case, showed total professionalism, compassion and empathy. Since my mom was a nervous wreck from the beginning of the ordeal, Paul demonstrated a relaxed, but committed attitude toward her. I believe that and his expertise in such court matters proved to be the successful formula to minimizing my mom's final verdict. In the end, I will not hesitate to recommend Paul to others in need of his genuine legal services. AAA rating.

In working with Paul, it was clear he had good handle on the legal and technical issues involving the situation but equally important was Paul's "bed side manner" in caring about the stress the situation was having on the family. This did not go unnoticed. At times, it felt like a family member was on our side. This is no small item. Other than a medical professional, I'm not sure there is a more important person to display emotional empathy than an attorney. It might be "routine and normal" for guys like him to be handling cases but for every day "Joe's" that need legal help in our lives, having a caring advisor is key.

Like most, my divorce was pretty difficult from day one, and Paul was there every step of the way. Not only was his legal advice exactly what I needed to get me through my separation and a complicated divorce, but the fact that he really cared about me as a person made the process so much easier to deal with. I truly believe that Paul Lewis is not only an excellent attorney, but a good and caring man as well.

My initial consultation with Paul made me feel he would provide good counsel for me. My feelings were correct. Paul has proven himself to be knowledgable, experienced, dedicated, loyal, upfront, fair and reasonable as an attorney and also as a person. Paul provided the correct and positive guidance to get me through a divorce with a positive outcome. I never felt alone, as Paul was always there with positiveness. Well it's all come to an end and I am, thanks to Paul, free to live and breath freely. Paul is without a doubt your 'Go To' attorney.

I am a husband going through a fairly difficult divorce with an uncooperative spouse and 4 daughters. This is a very difficult and confusing experience. I suspect most divorces go this way and I know that when I started looking at divorce the whole process of finding a lawyer and how it would work was extremely stressful. I am thankful a friend recommended Paul to me, it is nioce to know that others have made it through situations guided by a trustworthy professional. These matters are very sensitive and I have had to have discussions I would typically prefer not to have and it is reassuring that Paul listens and provides advice based on his wealth of experience. He has been able to guide me through this so far by providing actionable advice and keeping me on a "higher road" when I felt that is the last place I wanted to be. Even though my case is not concluded yet and there are plenty of unanswered questions, I feel confident that with Paul's guidance I will make it through this in the best possible position. My recommendation for Paul Lewis comes from my experiences and I would undoubtedly seek counsel from Paul again if I found myself in a similar situation.
