Great Attorney

I have relied on Ms. Levan multiple times as she is very experienced and knowledgeable in NJ law. Melanie is professional and thorough. She is personable and a pleasure to work with. She provided easy to understand explanations while updating my will, power of attorney, and advanced directive documen...ts. She is presently assisting me with a residential real estate transaction. I will continue using her legal services in the future.

Highly Recommend

Ms. Levan was easy to work with, always helpful, answered questions promptly, and provided a timetable to monitor and confirm my progress through my real estate purchase. This timetable was much appreciated and reassuring for me as a novice buyer. She understood my personal attributes and, because ...of these quality interpersonal skills, was proactive in understanding and anticipating my needs.

Melanie Levan, Amazing Attorney'

Melanie guided and assisted me in every way when my Father passed away and then guided and assisted me in every way when my Mother passed away seven months later when the process had to begin all over again. They had multiple assets and she helped get them together to an estate account. My parents ha...d many individual stocks but there was no broker, my Father did everything himself and she helped to close them out successfully. Melanie worked closely together with my parent’s accountanting firm to handle all tax issues both state and local. Melanie was instrumental in working on the sale of my parent’s home because I live in a different state and she attended the settlement along with me to keep things going smoothly. I would highly recommend Melanie to guide and assist anyone else in my situation because it is extremely complicated and complex to get through. My wife and I feel blessed that we were able to enlist her services, she is extremely knowledgeable and professional as well as caring for her clients.
