About David R. Lewis

A Plainview personal injury attorney built on a simple principle: every client deserves a direct, personal relationship with the lawyer handling their case.

David R. Lewis, Personal Injury Attorney

A Personal, Hands-On Approach

David R. Lewis founded his Plainview practice to offer something that has become rare in personal injury law: genuine, direct access to the attorney representing you. At many firms, a client's file is managed by paralegals and reviewed by an associate — the lawyer whose name is on the door is often little more than a signature.

David does things differently. When you call David R. Lewis, P.C., you speak with David Lewis. He conducts the consultation, reviews the facts of what happened, gathers and examines the medical records, deals with the insurance adjusters, and prepares the claim. Every decision in your case is made by the attorney who knows your situation personally.

That direct relationship matters. It means your questions get answered by someone who understands the details of your injury and your life — not relayed through a chain of staff. It means the strategy built for your case is built around you, not a template. And it means that when David tells you where your case stands, he's speaking from firsthand knowledge of every part of it.

What Direct Representation Means for You

One Attorney, Start to Finish

David is your point of contact from the first call through resolution. No handoffs, no rotating staff, no getting bounced between departments.

Reassuring, Plain-Language Guidance

Injury claims are confusing and stressful. David explains each step in terms you can understand, so you're never left guessing.

Honest, Personalized Advice

Because David knows your case personally, the guidance you receive is tailored to your situation — not generic advice from someone who never met you.

Rooted in Plainview and Nassau County

David R. Lewis, P.C. is based at 527 Old Country Road, Plainview, NY 11803 in the heart of Plainview. From there, David represents injury victims across Long Island and throughout Nassau County. He understands the local roads — Old Country Road, the Long Island Expressway, the neighborhood streets where so many accidents happen — and the local courts, municipalities, and insurance adjusters that shape every case.

That local knowledge is more than convenience. It means David can meet you where you are, understand the community context of your injury, and pursue your claim with a grounded understanding of how things work here on Long Island.

A Family Tradition of Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law runs in David's family. He grew up hearing about these cases from his father — a practicing personal injury attorney — and the work was a regular part of dinner-table conversation long before David ever set foot in a courtroom. Those early years gave him an intimate, practical understanding of what injury victims go through and what real, attentive representation looks like.

After law school, David worked alongside his father for several years, learning the craft directly from the attorney who first taught him what it means to stand beside a client. He absorbed not just the legal strategy, but the philosophy his father practiced: know your client, know the details of their case, and never hand the file off to someone else. When his father retired, David carried that same philosophy into his own Plainview practice.

That family tradition is more than a story — it is the reason the firm is structured the way it is. David does not maintain a roster of associates and paralegals to take your call or manage your file. When you work with David R. Lewis, P.C., you work with David Lewis himself, continuing a family approach to personal injury law that has always put the attorney-client relationship first.
