I was living a hard time losing a lot of money in my business, praying to God to find the way to get out of long-term contract and debts. Since my first visit the entire staff were wonderful, made me feel that they really care about me with professional support, they are always available, and their p...rice is affordable. Thank you very much !

Levitt & Slafkes, small but amazingly competent, were engaged after experiencing the worst possible representation by a firm advertising time payment but which tried to pile on more charges when filing time was critical; at first twice denying their responsibility as written in two retainer agreement...s. A costly $750 in time payment fees for which they provided little and then required a handwritten 37 page questionnaire (typewritten was not allowed even though I had drafted most of the requisite schedules), before proceeding. Levitt & Slafkes is a small firm, with well-organized professional offices and a friendly atmosphere; well worth a reasonable fee that, in retrospect, I realized you get what you pay for. And at times, you get more than you pay for. Time was critical since the firm I discharged missed repeated deadlines allowed by a kind and patient judge who was stretched to her limits unless the final deadline was met. From the outset the entire process was simple and easy. Shelly Slafkes, Partner, met with me for a little more than an hour. She reviewed forms I had prepared in advance, asked questions, and afterwards, transcribed all required data needed for a multitude of complex schedules, with only a few phone conferences to get added information. All data was entered by her (no handwritten or typed questionnaire required) into a computer program which is designed to submit a complete filing. In due course the case was recently discharged. But this is not the end. There was potentially a new problem regarding an apartment lease. When aware of this, both partners joined in a phone call to recommend, prior to the case being closed, adding this obligation to the case for added protection from the court. Good lawyering is always hoped for when engaging an attorney. But taking time, after discharge, to recommend and then prepare needed documents without requesting added fees is an act of servicing a client unexpectedly volunteered and greatly appreciated. One would be ill advised to consider “bargain rate” or legal “factories” (found on the internet) instead of engaging this highly effective and proficient firm.

We hired Bruce Levitt to help us through our foreclosure and keep us up dated on the timeline. We gave him a retainer for more than half the fees due to distance of court appearances that were not needed. Bruce Levitt dropped us like a hot potato never talking to us again his assistant handled all co...mmunications of unanswered questions but being charged over and over again for the same unanswered questions. Our contract states that we would not be billed for incomplete telephone calls. Bruce Levitt's contract with us included monthly invoices witch he never provided in 18 month. After constant calling and receiving no information we received our invoice after I had to threaten to report him to the board, we were charged over 30 transactions to the same unanswered question of what is the timeline of our foreclosure and can we have an invoice! We were charged $50.00 for Mr. Levitt to send an article as an answer to my question of "what liens would we be responsible for after bankruptcy?" I couldn't understand the content of the article. Charged $50.00 for a phone conference with an attorney that I don't know what part of our case did he pertain to. Beware of Bruce Levitt he is not a reliable attorney
