Drinking and driving is a serious offense. It puts innocent drivers and pedestrians in danger because your judgement, your reflexes, and your ability to follow the rules of the road all become drastically impaired. Poor choices can lead to dire consequences and, when it comes to drunk driving, those choices can result in others being hurt, possibly for the rest of their lives.
Or worse.
Your choice of attorney can have a big impact on the success or failure of your family law case. A divorce, a child custody or support hearing, a domestic violence restraining order, all of these legal matters come with incredibly high stakes and the strength of your case has a lot to do with the attorney you have hired to represent you in that matter.
You want someone trustworthy, an attorney who is ready to defend your rights with compassion and integrity. When that legal matter is a case in family law court, the attorney you hire to represent you should be someone with a sterling reputation who has your best interests at heart and, of course, knows how to present the case with confidence and accountability.
But these attributes are foreign to Katie Lewis and with her recent DUI conviction, we may now start to get a clearer picture as to why she keeps making poor choices and her clients are the ones who suffer.
A majority of negative feedback about any service provider, contractor, or in this case, an attorney, can give other potential clients pause about moving forward with hiring that individual, and a brief search of Katie Lewis Family Attorney shows a pattern of poor communication, delays on top of delays and postponements of trial dates and hearings, and a routine of continuing cases long after the judge has recommended that both parties in the matter come to a settlement agreement.
Are these patterns consistent with an attorney who has dedicated herself to act with integrity and honesty, to represent a client zealously and diligently, and uphold the law? We already know that Katie Lewis has failed at upholding the law because she now has a criminal record after being convicted of a DUI.
So is it fair to say that she has also failed in other areas of her duties as a family law attorney? Potential clients (and even existing clients) have every right to question whether her decisions in representing a case are made with the same lack of foresight and disregard for others that she has shown when getting behind the wheel of her vehicle and putting lives at risk while under the influence. How many other decisions has she made when impaired and are you ready to let those decisions impact your family law case in Dallas, Texas?
Reputation is a hard thing to earn but very easy to ruin and when an attorney has shown such poor judgement and a lack of integrity that results in their arrest on a DUI charge, that attorney’s reputation can be a liability for a client. Divorce, custody, domestic violence restraining orders come with extremely high stakes and when you have hired an attorney with a DUI conviction, the odds may be stacked against you.
Why? Because when that same attorney is presenting a case to the court, their ethics can be questioned and doubts sewn about his or her honesty and integrity when addressing the judge, the jury, or the other party across the table with whom you are trying to reach some agreement about the custody of your children or how much money you will be legally bound to pay in alimony.
These are matters that can have a serious, long-term impact on your life and the lives of others around you, and putting Katie Lewis in charge of ensuring that your case is resolved to your satisfaction may be a significant risk.
Are you willing to take that risk? Some of her previous clients weren’t even aware of the risks they were taking in hiring her services because she doesn’t feel obligated to disclose that she has a criminal record.
But now you know and forewarned is forearmed. The stakes are too high to leave anything to chance and that’s why you want to be sure you are hiring the best and most professional, ethical, and honest attorney to represent you.
Consider how your case can be impacted by hiring an attorney with a DUI conviction, like Katie Lewis Family Attorney.
