Highly Recommend

I had a very complex custody case in which numerous lawyers wouldn't even take my case as they all deemed it "unwinable." Scott Levine was willing to take my case on and I could not be happier with the outcome. My case involved many years and countless pages of previous court orders in which he rev...iewed each and every one in detail and pulled out necessary details to help build a stronger case for custody. Mr Levine always made himself available and gave great counsel not only during our regular meetings but also in times of tense and anxiety ridden interactions with the other party. His professionalism in the court room was exemplary and never once did he give any false pretense of what the outcome would or could be. He always thought our responses to the other party through and took great care in explaining each and every piece of everything that was occurring and going on. I could not be happier with the outcome achieved through his hard work and determination to take an underdog case and give it his best effort.

Highly recommend

Mr. Scott Levine has been my attorney for over 3 years. He has guided me through a very long and difficult case involving first my divorce, then visitation and parental rights. Mr. Levine is available day and night and on weekends. His paralegal, Kim Oakley, is also available and highly trained to an...swer any questions that I have. Mr. Levine has also guided me over the phone through several emergency situations where the safety of my children was compromised. When my case went to trial, he prepared me to give a deposition and to address the judge in the courtroom. Because of his efforts I felt very confident going into each situation. Throughout this tedious process I have felt taken care of on a professional and personal level. Every aspect of my case was thoroughly and meticulously researched and argued. The outcome of each court date has been in my favor. I credit him with keeping my children safe. Mr. Levine cares about my family as more than an attorney. I have recommended him to several friends who were also very happy with his services. I will be sticking with Mr. Levine for any issues that arise in the future.

Hardest working Lawyer

Scott and Kim, his LA, helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I had to fight to move my kids to Florida with me (relocation/divorce case), from NJ. I currently work for one the largest law firms in Florida/Top 100 in the country. I can say that I have never seen a lawyer more c...ommitted and passionate about his work. He takes his work very personal. When he is working on your case he is completely engrossed and dedicated. He's very down to earth and straight-forward... WE WON!

WARNING: DON'T HIRE THIS MAN!!

I hired Scott J. Levine to represent me in a divorce/custody case. Upon consulting with him and giving him the facts of the case he assured me that it would be an easy win with my soon-to-be ex living in an overcrowded house, had refused to allow the children to attend school and generally providing ...a poor environment. I expressed that I would like to compromise as much as practical to come to a peaceful settlement with my former spouse to which Mr. Levine was adamantly against. Throughout the case he continued to add unnecessary fuel to the fire making any reasonable negotiations impossible (which of course prolonged the case and made him more money). At one point he had me disobey the judge’s order (which I did foolishly trusting his legal counsel) and it cost me 10,000 dollars I had to pay to her lawyer as a penalty. He asked how much I had left in my account, I told him 8,000. That very night he called me to talk about the case and happened to mention a bill due to him for 7,500 not odd at all right? Eventually I found that he had overcharged 2,000 (and that was just because it was very obvious). He had to have his paralegal in court at all my legal functions to hold his hand which I have never seen in my now thorough experience with lawyers/court; and in the courtroom he was too weak-willed to effectively stand up to the opposition’s bullying techniques. I spent 2 years in family court, and lost the majority of my financial assets, going into debt because of the mess this lawyer made, ultimately losing my case for custody. It is my belief this was a direct result of his representation. Unless you want to lose your case and your life savings along with it DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN. It’s my belief that he is incompetent at best and unethical at worst. You have been warned.
