Ken Lewis – Beaumont Personal Injury Attorney

Attorney Bio

Beaumont personal injury attorney Ken Lewis is an accomplished trial lawyer who represents personal injury victims throughout Texas.  He has helped numerous victims and their families achieve justice in complex litigation and is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Ken Lewis grew up in Riverside Addition in Orange, the grandson of western Louisiana sharecropping, one-mule farmers who scratched out a living on a farm without running water or indoor plumbing, and the son of a shift-working refinery father and minimum-wage secretary mother who commuted to Lamar at night for many years to become a teacher. He loved both sports and academics and played four varsity sports after moving to Little Cypress for junior high and high school. He worked a variety of labor jobs at paper mills, shipyards, warehouses, rice canal maintenance, brush cutting, asphalt production, roofing, and retail to be able to earn his degree at Lamar. He worked his way through graduate school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, as a teaching assistant and a researcher and stock runner for a stockbroker, while becoming active in Democratic politics in Ohio when Carl Stokes was mayor of Cleveland.

After 1-1/2 years of business machine and retirement annuity sales in Houston and Hawaii (where he was licensed both by the NASD and the Hawaii Insurance Commission), he worked his way through law school in 2-1/2 years to enter a profession where he could help others and try to accomplish positive change. The decision to return to the Golden Triangle to practice personal injury trial law in Beaumont was a natural one because of his familiarity with the people and the area work conditions.
