Review Levi Weikel-Magden

He and I were always on the same page due to his honesty

Posted by

Last year, I had just moved in the area and needed a family law attorney for a custody case. The process of finding/choosing an attorney could be daunting. However, when I went in for my first consultation with Levi my stress level was immediately mollified. He was personable, which made me feel comfortable to discuss my personal matters freely. I had a lot of questions of the legal process that would take place and he took the time to explain everything with meticulous detail. More importantly, when I called Levi he returned by phone calls in timely/professional time frame. He handled my case with urgency and continued to have an open communication with me throughout the entirety of my case. I felt supported during a time that I was feeling stressed and unclear about my own standing with my daughter. I highly recommend the Miranda Magden & Miranda law firm for any individual that is seeking an attorney who demonstrates a few of these characteristics. PROFESSIONALISM Levi was always on time, completed paperwork quickly, and considered all avenues to get me everything I wanted in my custody battle. COMPASSION Levi proved to be extremely considerate to my predicament and remained to have empathy and honesty. HONEST Levi was very truthful with me as new information came to his office. He was able to articulate what needed to be done in order for my case to be successful. I felt that he and I were always on the same page due to his honesty. CLARITY Levi made all aspects of my case very clear and simple in order for me to have complete understanding. I like to have everything picture in my mind, Levi was able to make the whole process lucid for me to feel confident. ACCOMMODATING Levi worked around my schedule for over a year. I am a single, working mother, without the help of family, and Levi went out of his way to call during convenient times and meet at the office of my preference. Make it easier on yourself and contact this law group to assist you with your case and alleviate future stresses.

Reliable, polite, professional…

“Very reliable law firm. Super professional and polite. Court system can get really frustrating and exhausting, so please, do yourself a favor and give these guys a call. It will save you all the nightmare and headaches of going through endless paperwork and time wasted between court dates. After all, Miranda, Magden & Miranda got me custody of my two children and at the same time they helped me out with the very reasonable service fees. I will strongly recommend this law firm to friends and family. Keep up the good work and God bless.”
