Letter from the Attorney

Dear Neighbor,

The American Bar Association, in the Preamble to its Model Rules of Professional Conduct, identifies four core roles of an attorney: advisor, advocate, negotiator, and evaluator. To me, these can be summed up in a single word you often hear for attorneys: counsel.

“Counsel” is both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it denotes the professional. As a verb, it carries the weight of careful advice and concern for holistic well-being. I will do more than advise; I will counsel you, applying the full measure of my training and judgment to your matter.

Applied to law, “Counsel” means explaining the law so you understand it, outlining your choices with candor, and walking with you on your journey toward tomorrow. Legal problems are stressful; you do not have to carry that burden alone.

From my home base in Celina, I serve individuals, families, small- and medium-sized businesses, and nonprofits. My practice includes estate planning, probate, mediation, litigation when necessary, contract drafting, and ongoing general counsel. I seek to be your legal counsel for all seasons of life—a steady hand you can rely upon.

I love this work and am passionate about people. I hope you will feel the difference when we meet.

Bring your question—large or small—and we’ll tackle it together.

Sincerely,
David A. Lewis
