Business and estate

I've had almost two decades of outstanding legal relations with Bill at his previous firm and the current one. He has worked on my estate and my business. His expertise with contracts has helped me out of some tough situations. I'm confident in his opinions and recommendations. Although I may not agr...ee with nor accept all of them he helps me to assess many alternatives to possible outcomes. A couple of examples of this was his drafting of the documents for a company purchase over a decade ago and his consul on renting of my building.

Personal, caring service

We used Bill to create our will last year. He made a stressful process easy and painless. He was so helpful in guiding us through the many questions we had to consider including the toughest ones like those involving planning for our children. He offered gentle advice throughout the process and we se...emed to really enjoy taking care of his clients. Five stars, no doubt!

Very professional & best of all extremely knowledgeable

Mr. Levy was always totally professional and focused on the task at hand which was to set up trusts for myself and my wife. He spent all the quality time necessary and was never rushed as he ask us for the information he needed and the explained to us what was necessary for our trusts and then how to... implement them. He is the best attorney we have ever worked with.
