New York Administrative Law Firm
Overview
Lewis & Munday was founded in 1972 by three African-American lawyers - recent graduates of Harvard Law School, Yale Law School and the University of Michigan Law School.
It was a barrier-breaking institution. Its goal was to take on traditional corporate civil work and public law, something denied African Americans in the past.
The timing was good. Detroit’s newly elected African-American mayor, Coleman Young, asked the firm to do municipal bond work...
Lewis & Munday was founded in 1972 by three African-American lawyers - recent graduates of Harvard Law School, Yale Law School and the University of Michigan Law School.
It was a barrier-breaking institution. Its goal was to take on traditional corporate civil work and public law, something denied African Americans in the past.
The timing was good. Detroit’s newly elected African-American mayor, Coleman Young, asked the firm to do municipal bond work.
Four years later, the firm had become the first African-American owned firm to be listed in the “The Bond Buyer’s Municipal Marketplace.” In 2001, Thompson Financial Company, a nationally recognized bond counsel ranking entity, ranked Lewis & Munday 16th nationally among all bond counsel. The firm rendered opinions as bond counsel on over $3.35 billion of municipal securities. In the same year, Thompson Financial ranked Lewis & Munday 20th nationally among all underwriters' counsel firms in the country. The firm rendered opinions as underwriters' counsel on over $2.22 billion of municipal securities. The firm has been consistently ranked in the top 50 bond counsel firms since 1990.
Public finance was the first building block. The firm now represents corporations, entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes and governments in litigation, real estate, corporate law and healthcare as well as public finance.
The firm is one of the oldest and largest firms founded by minorities. It is a leader and a role model -- something that it takes very seriously.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
