Free from the Never Ending Marriage!

For starters, I would not finally be divorced without this wonderful lawyer and his team! I was in a very difficult situation, being that I was active duty military and had moved across the country on orders, and my estranged husband just decided to never respond to a single court document or me. I h...ad a case that not many lawyers would take on but Jon was resilient and ensured to get it done. He worked with me over email and phone for over 3 years to get my divorce finalized. Without his encouragement I honestly would've just given up. He never gave up with the courts or on me. He stayed positive and prepared me for various possible challenges and roadblocks. Even with the stress of this case for both he and I, we didn't give up! He got me my divorce and I have never been so happy and sure in the chose I made for my legal team. He really was great and stuck by me the entire time, even when it seemed like a downhill battle. Thank you so much Jon and the Levin legal team. I literally couldn't have done it without you!

Excellent

Mr. Levin helped me with my divorce. He is an exceptional lawyer. He made my divorce 100% easy. He explained everything that I had to know/say. He made me feel welcome and comfortable. He went above and beyond to help me. He explained to me what was going to happen in court in regards me not knowing... what was going to happen and what the process would be like. He referred me to the proper personal to help me with the court documents and forensic accounting. I’m very grateful that he was able to help me and I will recommend him 100%. Mr. Levin is an honest and truthful attorney.

Outstanding Family Lawyer, Jonathan D. Levin

Jonathan represented me during my recent divorce, and he did an incredible job. Jonathan guided me through a very stressful time in my life, and as an attorney, he was knowledgeable, hardworking and wise. He was kind and understanding toward me as a client, and he was tough and thorough in my defense... in the court system. I recommend him highly.

Too Notch Matrimonial Attorney

Aside from divorcing by husband, the best decision I made was to hire Jonathan Levin to represent me. Jonathan was honest, thorough and fought for me. I can’t thank Jonathan enough for his dedication to my case and returned money to me that wasn’t used for my retainer. His intimate knowledge of the ...law saved me a tremendous amount of money.

I don't recommend this lawyer

I wouldn’t ever recommend this lawyer. I needed an attorney to help me file for my friendly divorce and make sure my agreement with my ex was safe. We already had a verbal agreement and my ex-husband's lawyer was drafting it. I need him to review it. I was very clear from day 1 about my budget and ...what I needed his help with. He agreed and seemed very professional at the beginning and willing to help and work with that budget. He advised me to file for divorce on my own, that way was going to be cheaper. I agreed(since I was on a budget) that I paid an extra $500 from outside the $4k retainer I gave him. He helped me fill it out and sent an email to my ex-husband's attorney. That was the only thing he did. Plus sending an email for me to do the disclosure but he never helped or spent time with me doing it. And guess what?! He used half of the retainer. Almost 2k plus the 500 dollars. He didn’t help me with the disclosure and not with the divorce agreement. He charged me for 5 hours of work when he probably did 2 maximum. It made me fill for my divorce on my own, to make me feel like I was saving money, and didn't have an attorney to represent me, but then when the bill came I paid enough money to have a lawyer fill it for me and represent me. Plus, he charged me 100 dollars in the invoice for only replying with ok in an email. I am shocked to trust this attorney. I complained about the absurdity of the invoice and he gave me a 15% discount. It's just ridiculous to me to have to pay that amount of money for not getting any service done. I hired another extremely professional attorney, she did the work he was supposed to do, like filing for the divorce, and represented me, she reviewed the agreement, finalized my divorce, and only charged me 1.5k. She worked on the budget that i always left clear that I had.
