Highly Recommended
After working with Ian, on nonpayment of construction contracts, this last year on 3 lawsuits and seeing first hand, in a court room, how good he was we gave him another case.

Professional, Caring, Knowledgeable
Represented our condominium association against an insurer that declared bankruptcy after 2 hurricanes hit in 2004. Devoted his time and expertise in getting a settlement that we had not even hoped for. Mr. Kravitz went above and beyond to keep the contractors repairing our condominium honest, and kept us in the loop as to where he was in the process and our association is forever grateful for his hard work on our behalf.

Overwhelmed
I never knew an attorney that underperformed and underdelivered there was literally 6 months Ian did absolutely nothing
Response from Ian Kravitz September 28, 2021
As a member of the Bar, I am unable to comment with specifics to any review. No matter how defamatory or wrong. I stand behind the countless long term clients that I represent, and their appreciation of the tough but caring work I do for them.
