Erik Smith, Has been my attorney for several years. Any time I have a responds back in a timely Manner and when I say that I mean not the next day usually within a couple hours sometivery fast. I even left email during the weekend. Because I had to address something. Because I got correspondents o...n a Saturday and left him a message thinking that he would not respond until Monday next thing. I know I got a telephone call coming in. On Saturday. He provides excellent service and sound legal advice.And if he does not have the answer you will get it for you. Excellent attorney to have.

VA benefits

At 62 years old, I never thought I would need a lawyer, but I found myself hiring a lawyer to collect my benefits from the military, which should have been automatically given to me. I waited 17 years and got no where. One Sunday morning I found an advertisement for Rob Levine, in which I called hi...m and employed him to get my benefits. He assigned Eric Smith the case and without a doubt, he was one of the most professional person I met. Within 24 hours I had the government contacting me to schedule various appointments. It took a year of testing to get everything done. Eric Smith got all his i’s dotted and crossed all his t’s to get this done. In a years time with my lawyer I was never in the dark with what was going on. It’s sad to say that you have to get a lawyer involved to get what is owed to you. Thank you Eric and the law firm of Rob Levine.

SSG. Douglas Sutton U.S. Army (Retired)

I would like to express my absolute gratitude for the professional job Mr. Smith performed on my behalf while representing me during multiple VA disability claims. As many of us have found out the difficulties of negotiating the VA Claims system, I was fortunate to find and retain Rob Levine's firm... and and was assigned Attorney Eric Smith. Mr. Smith not only worked tirelessly on my case but kept me informed during the entire process. If I had any questions Mr. Smith was quick to reach out and answer any questions or concerns. I cannot recommend this firm enough, if you need assistance with your VA disability claims, Rob Levine is the firm to contact. They understand the VA system in its entirety, if you have claims that have been denied before contact Rob Levine and let them have the opportunity to review your case I assure you they will always have your best interest at heart.
