Best lawyer ever!!!

Robert helped me with deficiency judgement against me when mine and my ex husbands house foreclosed. He was super nice and had it handled the day I went in to talk to him. He saved me over $20,000. I’m beyond grateful for him. I now consider him a friend. I’ve called him many times since then. It’s b...een 7 years and he still remembers me and gives me advice or tells me the name of someone who can help me. If you’re looking for a great, honest, caring attorney who can help you Robert is your man!

Worst decision I have made

I found myself in one of the worst positions in my life. I had to file for bankruptcy. I met with Robert Lefkowitz and the only positive thing I can say about him is that he is very good at selling his services. After hired it goes downhill quickly. He is disorganized, uncommunicative, forgetful, lac...ks knowledge on anything other than the basics of his trade, and uncaring. I would never use or recommend Robert for anything. In my opinion Robert is unworthy of of consideration for any of your legal needs. I have asked him numerous times for info on my bankruptcy discharge but do not get a response. He was my attorney of record, but truth is I did most of the work. Do not use this man for anything in my opinion. I have given him every opportunity to communicate and provide information but he has refused. On a scale of 1 to 10 Robert Lefkowitz OWES POINTS!!!!

Best Decision Made

There are no words to describe the overwhelming relief you have given me. You have taken my stress and worry away. Thank you for your kindness, and support. You will never know how grateful I am. I have never met an attorney with such understanding and honesty. You actually heard me and went over and... beyond to assure me everything was going to be ok. You called me back on a Sunday and I knew that you were more than just a lawyer.. You have a deep concern to genuinely help people. You are a great attorney and a great person. Thank you for all you have done. I hope you continue to shine and do great things. I'm sorry you had to clean up such a mess from the previous attorney. I wish I had found you first!!! Many blessings to you.

The Best professional Attorney

I met Mr Leftkowitz in 2010 and hired him for a legal matter. He not only served as the best defense, but he went above and beyond to make sure I was receiving the best service. After all of these years, I would refer him to anyone for all legal needs. I was so satisfied with his service, he now is ...my call upon attorney for all of my legal questions and matters. He return calls promptly and eager to help. He is also the first attorney I seen that actually cares about his clients as if they were his personal family and not lIke a payday. He is an attorney with both integrity and honesty which is very rare! Call him today, don't wait!

Excellent Attorney

I have met many attorneys in years past, due to a major problem in our family. Upon interviewing these attorneys, I took note of many things. Were they good speakers, were they half way aggressive, were they knowledgeable, were they personable or did they act without feeling. Were they reasonably pri...ced, did they have integrity, would they honestly tell me if we had a case and last but most importantly were they experienced? Upon meeting Robert Lefkowitz I liked him immediately. Through out our court appearances he was extremely professional and knowledgeable. If I was feeling down or had questions I could call him night or day and be reassured. I always felt better after speaking with Robert. Robert was always positive and was very good about initiating ideas to help in court. He is very bright and takes his clients and their problems very seriously. Robert even gave me a ride to the court house, because my husband was Ill and could not be there to support me. Robert will also tell you straight out if you have a reputable case or not. I would recommend Robert to anyone who is seeking a good, reliable and knowledgable attorney. I'm a question asker, and by nature suspicious of others, Robert is and was someone I could trust..

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.

Censure issued in NC, 2018

updated on 07/18/2018

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
