Patrick E Lewis PA

I would give Mr. Lewis zero stars if I could.
My husband, now a veteran of the United States Military, and I made the mistake of trusting Patrick Lewis. The hubs met with Mr. Lewis, in person, while I conferenced in via telephone as we required services of an Arkansas attorney. Mr. Lewis happily took our $ 1,500 deposit then virtually disappeared. We did not hear from him for weeks at a time. While his secretary told us he was in court, Mr. Lewis would write with excuses that he had been ill, or that his children had been ill. He did answer, once in awhile, from his iPhone (as indicated by «this email sent from my iPhone»). Suffice it to say, he did receive our messages. He just chose to ignore most of them.
After sending us a first draft of modification papers, it was obvious he had not listened to our request. We had to remind him of our intention and our goals. He continued to ignore phone calls and emails. His attempts to keep us at bay were obvious and after months of no resolution or answers (we hired him in August of 2014) it was time to part ways. In late April 2015 we terminated our relationship with him. April 28, 2015 he wrote via email that he would happily refund the balance of our fees at the end of the month — «his next billing cycle» — as he put it.
Five weeks later we have telephoned and emailed Mr. Lewis with no reply.
He is not trustworthy nor is he dependable. Perhaps he felt because we live 1600 miles away he did not have to be responsible to us. His ethics are lacking and while he may know his subject matter, we certainly couldn’t know this for sure given his lack of communication.
We would not recommend him under any circumstance.
