In The Beginning

Colby Lewis knows that anything is possible with conviction, hard work, and perseverance. After reading To Kill a Mockingbird as a young boy, Colby was inspired by Atticus Finch, who stood for what is right and fought for the little guy. Colby sought to be an advocate for all the Boo Radleys and Tom Robinsons—fighting for justice became Colby’s primary motivation.

He worked tirelessly, balancing numerous jobs to finance his education. When Colby was accepted into The University of Texas at Austin, he made it his mission to absorb as much knowledge as possible. He pursued three different undergraduate degrees in philosophy, political science, and computer science while engaging in as many extracurricular organizations as possible. Through grit and tenacity, Colby became the first member of his family to graduate from university, with honors.

Soon thereafter, Colby became one step closer to his lifelong pipedream of becoming a lawyer when he was accepted to the University of Houston Law Center. Colby soaked up this opportunity for all that it was worth. He was the first student at the UH Law Center every morning and the last one to leave every night, spending countless hours in the law library from dawn till dusk. Colby’s life is the definition of relentlessness: he tirelessly works towards the realization of his goals. Colby fights for what is just and right, and he takes no shortcuts when it comes to achieving the results his clients seek. This is why his motto is relentless representation—Colby approaches every case as if it were his own.

Hit The Ground Running

After years of studying and preparation in law school, Colby hit the ground running. From the outset of his career, Colby has been a go-getter, hyper-focused on achieving justice for his clients. One of his first cases was as a member of the Lead Plaintiff’s Houston Trial Team going up against Enron following one of the largest corporate scandals of the modern day. Colby made a name for himself by aggressively representing all those individuals who were hurt by the wide-reaching and long-standing economic consequences of Enron’s off-the-books accounting and wide-scale fraud. To this day, fifteen years later, he hasn’t stopped sprinting to the finish line for his clients.
