Great working with Bill on revocable trusts

Bill is very knowledgeable. He understands what you do need and what you don't need. One of the traits I really appreciate about Bill is his ability to break it down in layman's terms, so I really have an understanding of what we are doing. He helped me and other family members of mine set up revo...cable trusts. I highly recommend him.

We have used Mr. Levy to review business contracts as well. Mr. Levy has alw...ays provided thoughtful advice and does not hesitate to follow up on all concerns of his client, whether they are large or small. He is honest, professional and a pleasure to work with on legal issues.

Bill helped us with some complex estate planning. He was able to explain the complexities of estate issues in a clear, comprehensive manner. I would recommend him without question.

Bill;s the Best!!

Bill Levy was a dream come true for our family. We needed someone who really knew about special needs trusts and no lawyer we contacted had a clue. Bill was an expert on these special trusts, sensitive about our concerns and knew exactly what needed to be done and did it in a timely and very thoro...ugh manner. We have absolute confidence in Bill and recommend him to everyone we know.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
