Excellent Represetation, Compassionate & Highly Knowlegable

Mr. Levi has extensive experience (30+ years) in municipal pension matters, which is the area of law that he represents me with. Further, for related fields of law that others specialize in (for example, health insurance or worker's compensation), Mr. Levi has a very extensive network of other excel...lent attorneys that he has solid relationships with to refer you to. In fact, one of those fellow attorneys is who referred me to Mr. Levi. He's compassionate during your time of need, very flexible & responsive in communications, has character & integrity above reproach, and is very thorough. One thing that I particularly appreciate about him is that he works for, and by, himself. This ensures that he's personally handling all areas of your case & not passing it down to a lesser-experienced junior associate. I personally know others that Mr. Levi has represented in municipal pension law, and civil litigation law that he's successfully represented as well. I have extensive experience in working with attorneys, so my viewpoint is pointed in my critique of an attorney-much more than most would be. I cannot criticize ANY aspect of Mr. Levi's representation of me. I'd highly recommend Mr. Levi to anyone who needs representation in a wide range of areas of the law. While your needs may not be specifically in municipal pension matters like mine, I know that he's very capable in an case that he takes.

Help in time of need

I have a case against a municipality which began in 2001. As aresult of a mediation hearing an agreement was made in 2004. The agreement called for the case to be settled in the fall of 2005. Unfortunately the case was not settled and has draged on for several years. In the winter of 2008 I was intr...oduced to Mr. Levi since our initial meeting the case has moved on dramatically.

Excellent Advice and Support for Legal Issues Regarding My Young Sons

Mr. Levi helped me understand and proceed with some difficult issues I inherited related to becoming a conservator. I would not have been able to successfully navigate through the legal system, nor had the stamina to endure the emotional ups and downs I encountered in the process without the support,... guidance and skills that Mr. Levi provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice and/or services.
