I had the pleasure of working with Victoria Lewis as my consulting attorney (on child custody issues) during my divorce. And I can honestly say that I was very impressed with her expertise in all aspects of a divorce situation (child custody, financial, etc).
My divorce was very complex and I truly believe that it was all of Victoria's professional advice, support and guidance (especially, in some highly charged emotional situations) that made a world of difference in the final outcome. Victoria has my absolute trust and I will "hands down" recommend her to anyone who needs help when going through a divorce.

Victoria Lewis and the staff at Madigan & Lewis helped me through an extremely difficult divorce.

I had worked with another firm prior in this process, with the result being sky rocketing fees and further distance from a resolution.

Victoria's calm approach and focus on "getting the job done" saved me tons of attorney's fees and angst.

Her approach was directly counter to that of my exes attorney's of being combative (and his fees increasing through the process).

Divorce is a tough process to go through.
I'm thankful or Victoria's calm and understanding.

I retained Victoria Lewis as my consulting attorney to help me navigate my divorce. Even though things started out cooperative & friendly with my ex, the process was scary and intimidating and unfamiliar. I'm so glad I did, too. I never would have been able to make much sense of the paperwork, be aware of my rights, or advocate for myself effectively without help....especially when things suddenly turned uncooperative. Tori took my case seriously, was always available, and patiently explained things to me even when I was being an emotional dumbass. She was thorough when reviewing documents for me and helped me figure out ways to communicate with the mediator (as well as my ex) so that I could constructively push for results and avoid shooting myself in the foot. I absolutely recommend Tori and her team if you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation. Even when I was completely overwhelmed and feeling backed into a corner, Tori was able to make sense of all the chaos and give me the tools to keep forging ahead. Additionally, her billing process was responsible and conservative -- it's clear to me that she made the most of her time and was conscientious of keeping costs down for me. This whole divorce thing frankly sucks hard, but it can suck a lot less when you have a competent, compassionate advocate backing you up.

I switched attorneys mid-divorce to work with Victoria Lewis at Madigan Lewis, and I'm so glad I did. Tori is easy to work with, supportive, and very thorough in her legal approach to what was a complicated and contentious case. She was strategic, researched & presented legal issues thoroughly, and was 110% in my corner. I wanted someone to stand up & be tough during the process, and she was ready & capable to be that person. She explained the legal issues well, and helped me make decisions along the way. Mine was not a simple or cheap case, but I wanted good representation and I got it. I definitely recommend Tori.

Going through a divorce can be the worst thing you’ll ever experience. If you have to go through it, then partner with Madigan & Lewis. The entire team of Tori, Kim and others will have your back every step of the way. I’ll never forget the first time I sat across the table from Tori Lewis. I was completely shattered and overwhelmed and frightened. Whether pets or children or family photos or financial assets are involved in negotiations, Tori was always calm and honest. She gave me advice, support and set out our legal course of action. In addition to giving me smart legal advice, Tori always educated me about options, including pros and cons. Divorce can be overwhelming, which is why the Magidan & Lewis attorneys and staff are the best around to help with your legal game plan. The Madigan & Lewis team sees people at their worst, but they are always at their best. Whether you are a man or woman going through a divorce, contact them. I have my life back and you can, too.

Victoria Lewis is an exceptional family practice attorney who was my legal counsel as I went through the process of divorce through mediation. She is compassionate, clearly explains the legal process, is conscientious in working through every detail to arrive at a fair settlement, and responds readily to all emails/calls. At mediation meetings, she was poised,articulate, and commanding of the situation. Victoria was also adept in moving the process forward when the other attorneys involved were not responding in a timely manner. Additionally, she provided excellent referrals for estate planning services, tax and financial advising. I highly recommend working with the firm of Madigan and Lewis.

I had no idea where to go for a divorce attorney and feel so lucky to have come across Kim Madigan. She is very professional and knowledgeable and effectively negotiated on my behalf on complex issues in my divorce in the areas of custody, visitation, and spousal/child support.

Doesn't sound too complex at first glance, but we were dealing with everything from the ex insisting I have zero custody and even trying to leave the state with our son, to trying to involve our son in the conflicts which was not good. All issues were resolved without having to go to court. I felt like everything Kim was doing for me she has already done though, and she was clearly a step ahead of the opposing attorneys. Kim also set clear expectations with me up front and helped me understand the process before we embarked on it, and helped structure a custody proposal in a way that works with my busy work/travel schedule.

Long story short my son is happy with the outcome and I spend even more time with him nowadays, compared to the time before I moved out, and that is the most important thing. Also Kim is so pleasant, compassionate, and easy to talk with and that helped greatly during this tough time. What also helped was how easy it was to work with this firm, they get things in writing and processed extremely quickly and the operation is modern and paperless. They have a great paralegal Annette and she helped a lot too. Highly recommend this firm if the need arises.
