Robert Donnelly Lewis Jr

Rob Lewis is an AV-rated attorney who is a passionate advocate for his catastrophically injured clients and their families. He devotes the majority of his practice to representing children who are needlessly and tragically devastated by brain injuries at birth as a result of poorly managed labors and negligently executed deliveries.

Rob has successfully tried and litigated many cases involving birth injuries, including those involving Cerebral Palsy, perinatal stroke, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and traumatic brain injury. Similarly, he has successfully tried and resolved cases involving many other types of medical negligence, including cases involving brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, anesthesia errors, surgical errors, and hospital systems failures. He believes in giving his all for the people he represents and fighting for them while keeping in mind that litigation is usually not their first choice and that their lives have already been complicated by injury and loss.

He frequently writes and lectures on birth injury, medical negligence, litigation, and trial practice. He is a past Co-Chairman of the American Association of Justice’s Birth Trauma Litigation Group, a national organization of attorneys who are devoted to serving injured babies and their families. He is also a member of the Birth Trauma Litigation Group’s Executive Board and a past Co-Editor of the Birth Trauma Litigation Journal. He has also served as a Co-Chairman of the American Association of Justice’s Medical Negligence Information Exchange Group.
