Thorough and Thoughtful

Scott helped guide me through the review of my divorce settlement. He provided great feedback along the way and thoroughly reviewed the document to be sure I was being treated fairly. I really appreciated his attention to detail giving me confidence in my outcome.

Knowledgeable, easily reachable, reliable, simply the right lawyer

Scott knows what he is doing. Knowledgeable, willing to go the extra mile, very reliable. He can explain complex law lingo in layman's terms. It is no fun to go through a divorce, but Scott makes me hope there is light at the end of the tunnel. It is a pleasure to be his client.

Posted by Fred | November 30, 2022

Very patient and educated. answered all of my questions with no problems. Will be looking forward to working with him as well.

Thoughtful and thorough consultation

Contacted Mr. Levine to get assistance with a child custody agreement. Early on in our phone call it became clear on that i would not be able to retain him as my attorney due to travel restrictions . He still took over an hour of his time to help walk me through all of the potential outcomes of my situation and the process involved in each scenario. A true professional, thank you for your help!

Knowledgeable and Thorough

Scott was a steady hand when I needed someone to get me through an unexpectedly rough divorce. He was very knowledgeable about the system and the law. He also knew when things were important to push and when I should calm down and let things go, and told me so. I appreciate all his guidance and support and would recommend him to anyone going through a tough time or even if there is a situation that just needs mediated.

Most Attentive

Scott Levine is hands down the most attentive custody lawyer I have ever spoken to. He gave me over an hour of his time to discuss the options in my case. He was knowledgeable and had a lot of information to share. It was refreshing to find a family lawyer that really cares about helping clients.

Your Search For A Divorce Attorney Stops Here

I was truly impressed about how thorough and concise Attorney Levine was during the consultation. He is the one stop shop for all your divorce matters. The highlight of my experience with him was how he took the time to fully understand my story in order to provide tailored and creative strategies for my case. Attorney Levine comes with my strongest recommendations.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Levine is incredibly knowledgeable regarding family law. Throughout a difficult and lengthy divorce process (for reasons out of his control) he was continually dedicated, patient, and supportive, and my confidence in his representation never wavered. I can't recommend Mr. Levine highly enough.

Posted by Aaron | October 15, 2021

Amazing attorney!

Handled all paperwork, along with always being available to talk and email, completely explained the divorce process and what to expect with the process and money out of pocket. Just a true professional.

Great Job

Did a great job with my divorce. Even with all the craziness from Covid going on and the courts getting backed up, he did a great job of keeping everything moving on schedule.

Legal Genius

From the moment I spoke with Scott he calmed my anxieties and brought me to a full understanding of how my case was to proceed. He covered every aspect with detail and was very professional. He was wise and confident through out the case which lead to an outcome of which I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend him and will continue to use his services.

Thorough and effective

I hired Scott to defend a PFA and couldn't have been happier with his work. He took time to listen to my case in detail, explain potential outcomes, and he researched similar PFA cases to better understand the situation. He negotiated a favorable consent order with the other party and we ultimately didn't have to go to trial. Absolutely would hire him again for the peace of mind during an extremely stressful situation.
