James Michael Levy

Mr. Levy, has two sides and now I wonder if his wife is in on it as well. She. Has run social groups and match maker groups. Mr. Levy comes across promising and legal in the beginning. He failed to respond in court, he gave me false advice in my ex’s favor. Soon after court he disappeared. I... got a text that my case looked like a win and then I never heard from him again. He has ignored my calls, emails and text. I spoke with his wife and asked her to have him contact me. No contact has been made. He disappeared, and I believe from other reviews and statements he is a criminal. He took property that is mine and money. His failure to abide my the Lawyers promise or creed & I believe receive financial return from my ex. I believe Mr. Levy and wife have a long history of manipulating people and misusing his position. May justice catch up with him when he is found.

Attorney James Levy (Florida Bar Number 177237) is the worst lawyer I've ever encountered. Avoid him at all cost. If you use him you'll likely have an extremely painful experience. I chose Mr. Levy to handle my divorce because at first glance he had positive reviews. I initially met with him to he...lp me with a very simple divorce case. The divorce was uncontested, no children, with a prenuptial agreement in place. A case could not be more simple. Mr. Levy advertised a 3-4 week turn around once retained (2 weeks to draft paperwork & 2 weeks to process with courts). I agreed to work with him due to the rapid turn-around he was advertising. I was on a timeline because I'm military and was slated to deploy 3 months later, so it was important that the case be finished inside of that time-frame (which was reasonable). He said it wouldn't be a problem and should take no more than 1 month. In the end it took Mr. Levy 3 months to draft the paperwork (with me having to constantly prod him the entire way) and an additional month for him to file. The filing didn't happen until after I was overseas. Once I left the country Mr. Levy ceased all communications with me. He wouldn't return my phone calls or emails (dozens of each left). It took me coordinating with & physically sending an associate into his office with a power-of-attorney to get Mr. Levy to file the paperwork. After all of that, when he finally submitted the divorce package to the county it was incomplete (missing 1 simple document)! After filing he again ceased communications with me. Because of this my case sat in the court system for an additional 2 months before I was able to retain other counsel to finish the job. Overall it took more than 6 months for my extremely simple case to be resolved, and in the end I had to use someone else to finish the job. At first glance Mr. Levy comes across as professional and credible. When I first me with him he seemed to know what he was talking about when it came to FL family legal matters and initially he was punctual and responsive. Once I sent him the retainer all of that stopped. Communication with Mr. Levy was awful. Most of the time he was completely unresponsive to any mode of communication. I had a very negative experience with Mr. Levy and would not recommend him to anyone, ever. All I can say is buyer beware. Learn from my experience and do your homework before you retain this lawyer.
