Excellent Attorney, Highly Recommended!

I am very pleased to highly recommend Attorney Lev. I had reached out to him for help on resolving a disputed debt. A previous attorney had given me misguided advice on how to resolve the dispute. However, that advice made my situation even worse. Instead of resolving the dispute, I started gettin...g threatening letters from a collection’s attorney threatening to sue me, garnish my wages, and place a lien on my house. That is when I contacted Attorney Lev. Attorney Lev contacted the collections attorney, negotiated a very attractive settlement agreement, and resolved the whole matter to my complete satisfaction. In the end, we resolved the debt for 50% of the original amount! Without hesitation, I most certainly highly recommend Attorney Lev.

The best I have experience with bankruptcy

I was going through headaches with credit cards lawyers calling me all the times, going to court cases and having bench warrants because of not going . He listened to my problems and cases , very professional, flexable payment arrangements and said I will contact the collectors and lawyers and take... care of the issues . Came in to his office again and we over all the information and paper work and he went to work on the case . Tu he whole case was done within 2 months and no issues . I would highly recommend Dmitry Lev to anyone with bankruptcy cases.

Great Bankruptcy Attorney!

Dmitry helped me with my bankruptcy back in 2008. At the time I interviewed 3 different lawyers all found on Avvo website. After interviewing several different lawyers I realized some are more willing to do extra work to help their clients. I felt like Dmitry was the best fit for me. Dmitry is high...ly professional and confidential. I felt like he cared about helping me and I wasn't just another client. He was VERY knowledgeable about bankruptcy laws and all the changes. He's passionate about his job and very good at it. If you're trying to decide what lawyer to use I highly recommend Dmitry. I filed bankruptcy at the right time. I was discharged from all my charges in 2009. Zero debt for car, home, credit cards and loans. My life changed so much after the bankruptcy thanks to him. Thank you Dmitry for everything!!!

I very highly recommend Mr. Lev

Mr. Lev provided me with his services in a recent assault and battery case where I was the defendant. The facts of the case were extremely convoluted and it was a complicated back story. When I was shopping around for lawyers he was the sixth or seventh lawyer I had talked to, but made a very strong ...impression on me when I first met him. He shared a great deal of information with me about my charge, my case, and how the court process works. The first bunch of lawyers I spoke with were very tight lipped until I agreed to begin discussing what it would cost to retain their services. He was also less expensive than many of his peers who were trying to charge me upward of 5,000. Mr. Lev gave me the necessary knowledge to make the most informed choices throughout the entire court and trial process. In the beginning he kept me up to date with any news and explained every step of the process as we neared my trial date. He approached me with a plea offer and was very clear that it was my choice to make. Ultimately I decided to let the case go to trial in order to prove my innocence. He was ready. When we found ourselves in the trial courtroom he showed his intelligence and acumen as an attorney. We were thrown multiple curveballs during the course of this trial and I felt he never skipped a beat by adjusting on the fly and finding a way to expose the elements of my arrest that were very crucial for the jury to hear in order to be found not guilty. He requested many motions throughout the case that were strategically important. I could not be more pleased with my outcome, but more importantly, I felt like I had a knowledgeable ally who didn't mince words when I needed a straight answer and kept me in the loop every step of the way. He didn't just feel like someone I hired to represent me in court, he felt like a trusted ally. He was also very patient with any and all of my anxieties. When the jury read their "not guilty" verdict I knew that I was never wrong with my intuition on Mr. Lev and was incredibly thankful for all of his work, adaptation during trial, and ultimately his victory on my behalf. I would recommend Mr. Lev to any family member or friend and any stranger facing a case that Mr. Lev has a specialty in. My case began over a year ago and I can say that I've learned over the course of this past year that Mr. Lev is an attorney you can trust to attend to your case and someone that serves his clients in a respectful and professional manner without price gauging. Obviously, I could not be more thrilled with my outcome, but beyond that I can truly say that this man gave me back what was trying to be taken from me and he reinstalled my faith in the trial system. I speak very highly of Mr. Lev. If Mr. Lev can take on your case I would urge you to put your faith in him. The court and trial system isn't fool proof and the journey in my experience was one with twists and turns that were unforeseeable, but this gentleman is intelligent and driven to a degree that puts you in a best case scenario for whatever charge you may face and I couldn't be more pleased.

Forever grateful client.

I remember calling my divorce attorney panicking, because I had just got a letter from a creditor, who had won a default judgement against me. He basically told me that unless I had acquired any assets I shouldn't worry about it. However, a short time later another letter arrived, threatening to gar...nish my wages unless I started making arrangements to settle. To say that I had sleepless nights would be an understatement; I could literally feel myself getting ill every day. I eventually swallowed my pride, and whatever stigma I had about filing for bankruptcy. When I met with Attorney Lev, I felt like he was a god send. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, and if he wasn't available he would at least try to return my call. It was an extremely emotional experience, and when my discharge was finalized, it truly felt like a second chance. I'm grateful for his work, and highly recommend his services. Sincerely, D
