Don’t take MY word for it…
Testimonials from Current and Past Clients:
Eric F. says: “Every time I had a question about my bankruptcy case I could always count on a timely response to my questions. I can only imagine the amount of questions he must get daily from all of his clients and it is truly telling of how much he cares that he takes the time to reply to what must seem like mundane questions and in such a timely manner. I have heard from others how impossible it is to get a hold of their lawyer to ask them something. With Lewis Roberts, you most assuredly do not have to worry about that. The majority of us have never had this experience before, and like I did, relied completely on him for getting all of the information needed and questions answered during this difficult time. It for me was always a relief when I heard back from him so quickly after emailing yet another question which I thought may be an issue when in fact it was not a big deal upon reading his replies. I have referenced him and his firm in conversations with others and have highly recommended his services to them. Lewis Roberts is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the in’s and out’s of filing and going through a bankruptcy.”
Robert S. says: ”We would like to express our appreciation and satisfaction with Lewis Roberts’ representation. We recently had our Chapter 7, 341 hearing. During the wait time that preceded our hearing we had the opportunity to hear the cases of other petitioners and their counsel. It was remarkable how different our case was when it came to be our turn. The Trustee asked us the “standard” questions and had to search for other questions to ask since the petition was obviously very thorough and complete. In short, our case took less time than any of the others ahead of us even though it was considerably more complex. We were also impressed with his associate counsel who attended the meeting with us, as he presented himself in a very professional manner. We are pleased to offer our recommendation to anyone we know who might be in need of his services.
Jeff & Debbie C. say: “Lewis acted as our bankruptcy attorney and was extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Lewis was extremely responsive throughout our case, and did a wonderful job making the best out of a bad situation. He was very knowledgeable and made many recommendations which benefited us in our case. We highly recommend him and his office.”
