Robert Y. Lewis
Senior Counsel
Robert (“Bob”) Y. Lewis has been litigating and trying cases around the country for 35 years, with an
85%-win record on cases going to verdict. As a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles in the 1990s he worked tirelessly to ensure justice for crime victims and the public at large. As senior counsel at the Marsh Law Firm PLLC, he represents survivors of childhood sexual abuse and other crime victims.
Bob views his role as giving survivors of sexual abuse a voice which the abuse so often takes from them. He believes that for far too long institutions, both private and governmental, have turned a blind eye to sexual abuse perpetrated in their midst, and that it is high time to hold them to account for the crimes of their agents.
