Chad Evan Levy

Despite the difficulty of fighting an employment case, this case was taken up on a contingency basis. It was described to us as having no out-of-pocket costs and in the end that was exactly what we got and we won. It should also be pointed out that we had collected clear documentation of our claim. ... The amount of money was not as important as making the point that there was a systemic problem with how a large employer treated their employees. Worse yet the practice alienated the employees to the point that most just quit. Sadly they did not even see how their management practices hurt their business and the customers they served. We hear today about cultural problems in the workplace and how sexual harassment injures female employees. Granted it is still a big problem. There are others that are even bigger that erode our trust in institutions, harming the employees, investors and the customers that should be helping in the name of cost cutting. Business leaders and management are directed to improve profits. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. However, incompetent management create and implement policies that that poison the work environment and help no one. Today, the department that was involved in this case is a disaster. It is a critical department but went from one of best in the company to this state because they are so incompetent that they don't even recognize their own problem. The money derived from this case will not have any material effect on their business. Winning this case offers the public no benefit because it can't be discussed due to the settlement terms. We could have hoped that the company might have learned something and even identified the incompetence of the management so they could be removed. But they obviously didn't. They lost so much more than the small amount of money that they paid to settle the case. We have very big problems in our country at the moment. This problem of employee abuse is more a symptom than the route cause. Thinking that large corporations are the answer to a better future is so flawed. Incompetence occurs in corporations as much as in government itself. The larger the corporation (or government) just makes the incompetence more impactful and damaging. It is not a choice between government control and corporate freedom. Both can coexist and be beneficial. The real choice is the motivation and competency of leadership. A competent leader listens, learns and adjusts. The worst leaders think they know the answer before they even understand the alternatives. Thank you Chad for giving us the opportunity to make a statement and living up to your word.

Before I was referred to Chad Levy by a friend, I spoke to two other lawyers that totally wasted my time and delayed everything. After I met Chad Levy for the first time I knew I was in very good hands and very happy he took the case. Him and his staff have been extremely knowledgeable, professiona...l, and always took the time to explain everything in great detail. I always got a response to my emails or calls in a timely manner. I was always given the choice in which direction we should precede with the case (with his professional guidance). He was always available to explain anything about the case I was concerned or didn’t fully understand. I’m very satisfied with the outcome of the case and how everything worked out in my favor. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has any issues with unpaid overtime or has been wrongfully terminated (my situation).

I dealt mostly with Mr. Levy's assistant, Jillian. From start to finish, I was convinced and communicated with his firm that I didn't believe they understood the scope of my case. One disjointed and confused E-mail response after another from Jillian only confirmed my fear. I expressed my desire to f...ind another attorney who would familiarize him/herself with the details of my employment situation. Low and behold, Levy finally took the opportunity to reach out to me/introduce himself. He said if I backed out, he'd be forced to put a lien on my file. I stuck it out and foolishly trusted that, in spite of their repeated examples of failing to grasp the scope, they'd miraculously represent my case fairly and accurately anyway. When it was all said and done, Levy failed me. He did not grasp the scope, and only represented a small fraction of the reason I hired him. He is either negligent or incompetent. I can't decide which. In either case, judging these reviews is starting to reveal a pattern. I do not recommend this attorney.

I was referred to Chad Levy of Levy & Levy, PA because of how challenging my employment matter was. Having several outstanding disputes, Mr. Levy, together with his staff, listened to each issue and spend an abundance of time in understanding the full impact these matters had on my quality of life. ... My employer was hesitant in settlement negotiations, however Mr. Levy professionally compromised the terms in my favor. Court was avoided and compensation for my suffering was awarded. Although I feel court would have yielded better monetary results, compromise secured my family's comfort from suffering and resolved my claims in full. Mr. Levy responded to every email, as did his staff. All of my questions were answered in detail - even if I had to ask more than once due to my delicate state of mind. Each staff member was kind, compassionate and very easy to talk to. With situations like employment disputes, emotions are fragile and to fully understand options - much time is taken to advise what is best for each individual scenario. Mr. Levy took that time. My family cannot express in words the gratitude we have for Chad Levy and his firm.
