Would not recommend
I worked as a client with Mr. Levine. I felt he was unprofessional and his communication was inconsistent and minimal. I didn't feel he listened to what I needed nor had the patience to explain things.

Replied last April 17, 2019I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with my firm. We strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every matter we handle. As far as communication is concerned, our records show that we sent you 46 e-mails during the short period of time that your guardianship proceeding was in effect.
