MoreThere Are Four Women in My Life
I met Pam Krop at the New Delhi International Airport in 1984. We were married three years later. Together we have journeyed through some of the best, and some of the worst, that life offers. She is the best part of me.
We made three amazing daughters. Ilana lives in Saint Petersburg, Florida and is beginning her career as a medical aesthetician. Talia lives in Delray, Florida, works at a treatment facility and is considering going to law school. Both girls have incredible strength, and have needed it. Pam and I are very proud of them.
Our third daughter, Gabrielle Esther Lewis, died Aug. 26, 2016, at the age of 22. There’s a picture of Gab along with the eulogy I wrote, as the first entry in this website’s “Blog” tab. Gab was excited when I opened this law firm, and everything I do, as a father, lawyer and friend, will attempt to validate her confidence in me.

MoreMy Story with Mount Washington
October 2016When I was 25, on little more than a dare, I hiked up Mount Washington in New Hampshire. My hiking buddy, a college friend named Bill Green, and I were completely unprepared; we did this, mostly, as a lark. Naturally, we got separated, left the trail and had to both separately maneuver over the overhanging lip above the bowl. Somehow we both made it, summited, and lived to tell about it.
