Mr. Loewenstein scammed me out of $15000.00 and did absolutely nothing. We later found out he had a recent stroke and was forgetting facts and could not keep them straight. He then 'Sued" me for another $3000.00 just because he figured out he could and piled up bogus charges such as over $660.00 for... copying 300 pages and so on. He lost the case! He actually lost the case before the judge to his former client. The judge said that in all years of practice as an attorney, he had never seen billing done in such unaccountable manner! I lost over $18000.00 to this man for nothing. Watch your back with him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
