What I do is gather evidence, ask questions, do research, and think carefully before I say anything. That process takes time and attention, and it only starts once I have the relevant facts in front of me. If that sounds like the kind of help you’re looking for, we’ll get along fine.

As a dedicated and results-driven Human Resources Admin at Promeniq Restorative Healthcare, I lead HR operations across Ohio and Kentucky, ensuring smooth onboarding and termination processes while designing training materials that boost inter-departmental productivity. My role also involves auditing employee profiles for compliance, revamping disciplinary procedures, and addressing complex employee relations issues to foster a positive work environment. With a Bachelor’s degree in Labor and Human Resources from Penn State University and a minor in Spanish, my academic background is solidified by hands-on experience in various HR roles. My journey includes impactful internships at Lockheed Martin and Braathe Enterprises, where I developed valuable skills in HR technologies such as Workday and Oracle HCM, and contributed to initiatives that enhance workplace diversity and inclusion. Previously, as a Senior HR Coordinator at Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) I supported HR Business Partners with key administrative tasks, facilitated New Employee Orientation, conducted exit interviews, and managed tuition reimbursement programs. My ability to create detailed reports for senior leadership and automate HR processes significantly contributed to organizational efficiency. I am deeply passionate about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), driven by the belief that employees perform their best when they feel like they belong. My goal is to leverage this passion to advocate for employees, promote inclusive practices, and help organizations reach their fullest potential. In addition to my HR expertise, I possess proficiency in a wide range of HRIS tools. I am always eager to connect with fellow professionals, share insights, and explore opportunities that align with my experience and aspirations.

Hello! Thank you for reviewing my profile. My name is Matthew Lewis. I am an attorney based in Dallas and operate a solo law firm. I use UpWork and other platforms to find new clients. Several of my business clients find employees and contractors on platforms such as UpWork so I try to go where my potential clients are looking. My practice is a mix of business support services (including litigation), estate planning & probate, employment issues, and immigration law. I have handled a wide range of matters, from suing a government official for failing to comply with state regulations to giving a presentation at a child's school. Also, I offer support services for other attorneys and law firms. Do you need a Motion for Summary Judgment (or a responsive brief) drafted so you can attend your child's recital? I'll handle it. Do you need someone deposed but find a date before close of discovery? Notice it and I'll show up. Sometimes you just need someone to review discovery responses and draft a deficiency letter. Let me help you so you can focus on higher level tasks on your cases. ---Flat Fee Pricing--- Unless required by statute or the project/situation requires hourly billing, I generally prefer not to bill anyone by the hour. I do my best to quote a flat fee to do the work you want. If it is complicated and difficult to quote, I will break the work down into stages and provide a range. This way, you can control your costs and budget accordingly. ---Virtual Practice--- I work from home. The COVID-19 Pandemic showed all of us how little we need a physical office to get our work done. I keep my costs down by working from my home office. If I need to meet with you, I will offer to come to your home. If we cannot meet there, my home is spacious and tastefully decorated. My preference is to meet at your home or business. Some types of legal work -- such as family law and estate planning -- benefit from home visits. Elders and children, for instance, often have trouble travelling or feeling comfortable in new environments. Business owners often keep important documents on-site for me to review then-and-there. ---Open Communication--- The biggest complaint people have about attorneys is that they do not communicate regularly or consistently. In contrast, I provide monthly updates to every client unless they expressly tell me they only want updates when there is something to pass along. When someone hires an attorney, often they are going through one of the most stressful times in their life. Having to chase after the professional you paid to help you through the situation only makes it worse. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have. Ultimately, I just want to help people and make a living doing so. Thank You! Matthew C. Lewis, Esq.
