Jeffrey M. Lewis Co., LPA

Recipient for nearly the last quarter-century of the coveted “AV Preeminent- 5.0”® highest possible rating from Martindale-Hubbell® (recognized as emblematic of America’s most respected and talented lawyers as voted by both their peers and the judiciary) and named by CEO Magazine© over the last fifteen years as one of Central Ohio’s “Best Lawyers,” Jeffrey M. Lewis is well known in the Central Ohio business, legal, and political communities, and has developed a substantial practice which includes not only consultation and advice, but litigation in local, state, and federal courts. A former “big-firm” lawyer, Mr. Lewis became frustrated at seeing clients subjected to impersonal treatment and pedestrian approaches (which often included assigning and charging fees for three lawyers to do the job of one), leading him to form his own firm in 2006. His firm has provided representation to individuals and companies ranging from the Fortune 500 to sole proprietors. Additionally, Mr. Lewis counts/ has counted amongst his clientele many judges, magistrates, major and small law firms, and individual lawyers, and is thus often referred to as a “lawyer’s lawyer.” Bringing to the table strong transactional experience, Mr. Lewis keenly understands the value of being an advocate for his clients. Mr. Lewis believes professionalism, integrity, and accountability are fundamental, and that the practice of law according to the highest ethical and moral standards is an obligation that he owes not only to his clients, but also to the legal system. He works hard to deliver outstanding value in the services he provides, and considers it a privilege to represent those who have chosen to call him their legal counsel. Mr. Lewis places the highest value and honor in the attorney client relationship, and feels that such a relationship that reflects a mutual sense of caring and respect is most highly rewarding to both him and his clients. Advancing and protecting the interests of his clients is an overriding goal – whether in negotiating a transaction, resolving disputes through alternative means or litigation before a judge/board/jury, or representation in front of elected governmental bodies or administrative agencies. Crossing the desk to view and understand issues, concerns, objectives, and goals from the client’s perspective is one of the traits that differentiates Jeffrey M. Lewis Co., LPA from other firms-large or small. Jeffrey M. Lewis Co., LPA routinely handles cases in areas as wide-ranging as: business consultation/ litigation; probate consultation/ litigation; wrongful death/ personal injury litigation; employment consultation/ litigation; environmental consultation/ litigation; real estate consultation/ litigation; civil rights, criminal, impaired driving litigation; creditors’ rights/ collections; juvenile, matrimonial, divorce, dissolution, and child custody litigation; receiverships; extraordinary remedies (Mandamus, Injunction, Prohibition, Quo Warranto); administrative agency litigation; appellate advocacy; and land use development/ planning & zoning law
