Michael James Levy

I was involved in an extremely messy high conflict divorce that became somewhat public. It was horrible. My attorney at the time was no match for what I was up against, I was referred to Michael. From the start Micheal immediately got into court and took this case as if it was his only case. I cannot... thank him enough for being very knowledgeable, responsive, organized, dedicated and calm. While trying keeping me calm which is no easy task when your ex had money, powerful connections, and was trying to take your children. His compassion, determination alongside his vast knowledge of the law, and the fact that he is not intimidated resulted in him going up against much older more experienced attorneys and winning every single time. Micheal is unassuming, but make no mistake he is a force to reckoned with in court. Micheal was compelling and forceful with OP when needed but able to be diplomatic and able to descalate issues when they arose. Throughout our 2 years together, he knew everything about my sons, always empathetic and reassuring me that we will get through this. He never, not once got a date, time, incident, motion wrong. He is a fighter an he doesn't just look at you at another case, he sincerely cares. He helped me keep my focus on the bigger picture, not getting caught up in the details or the horrible attacks on my character and my parenting. He had a perspective and a context that constantly reassured me, decreased my enormous anxiety while dealing with GAL's, psych evaluations, DCFS, etc. Like I said, extremely high conflict.. Michael and I were in contact every single day for 2 years, I emailed him daily he never did not get back to me and it is almost bitter sweet.. My divorce was final on Tuesday, I got full decision making for my sons, and custody. I got the only things that mattered, my kids and a chance at a happy life. Ending up in the family courts system is a terrible place to be, believe me you need an attorney like Michael. I have personally sent 2 friends in similar positions to him, and he did what their previous attorneys couldn't. Michael will be one of the top divorce/family law attorneys very soon, that I know. My gratitude for him I cannot even put into words. Do yourself a favor, high conflict, custody, extremely difficult and reckless personalities, call Micheal. He is effective, steady, organized and strong in negotiation. I know, if not for him and his team especially Joe, I wouldn't have survived this ordeal, but I came out stronger than I ever thought, and we are healing and putting this behind us, and the future is bright. Thanks Michael...
