I am a lifelong Ohio resident and attended law school at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.  While attending law school, I had the opportunity to work with the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association and also with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office where I gained extensive trial and appellate experience.  Since being sworn in to practice law by the Ohio Supreme Court in 2008 I have been practicing as a trial litigation attorney at the Law Office of Jaye M. Schlachet where I appear in court on daily basis litigating a wide verity of complex legal matters.

I was charged with a felony sex offense and Eric got me out of it.
I am so thankful that I found Eric Levy. The offense I was charged with could have ruined my life but thanks to Eric's hard work and efforts I have no felony conviction and am able to keep my job. I would not hesitate to hire this lawyer.

Superb lawyer
I've known Eric for many years. He's a man of integrity and one of the hardest working individuals I ever met. It's that extra effort... going that extra mile that sets him apart from others.

Thank you.
I was happy to write this review for Eric. He help me through a very difficult process with the upmost professionalism. He answered all my questions and set realistic expectations. I was very happy with the results of my case. I hope I never have to use him again, but if I do need representation, Eric will be my first call.

Eric Helped My Out of A Huge Jam with Debt
I hired Eric to help get me out of a number of lawsuits for unpaid bills and he was able to help resolve my cases and clean up my credit. Eric is professional and communicates all aspects of the case timely. I will certainly be using him for all of my legal needs and would highly recommend him to anyone else in search of an honest and fair lawyer.

Highly Recommend - Great Lawyer!
I have consulted with Eric Levy on several issues and found him to be as dedicated and hard working a professional as I have ever dealt with. He truly goes the extra mile to fight for his clients needs at all times. I have recommended him in the past and will continue to do so to anyone in need of a defense attorney.

Excellent
I have used Eric several times to represent me. He has worked on smaller cases such as traffic tickets and accidents up to a large criminal theft case for me. He is very thorough in explaining the process and made sure I was kept in the loop with every change or update. I feel very comfortable and trust Eric to represent me in any case.
