Michael W. Levinsohn

I was referred by SF attorney that Mr Levinsohn worked with. Mr Levinsohn kept on calling and calling so I thought he was on top of his game. Once he got my money he wanted to charge again for trial ( I hired him specifically for trial, it’s on our agreement) Then he tried to charge 5k for different ...dismissed case saying he would make it go away forever. Hmm dismissed means it went away?,!? He made me to hire a private investigator to do his job, thank god the investigator was so good. My case was weak case for DA and DA tried so hard to make me accept the plea deal. It was postponed probably 7 times and eventually got dropped. Mr Levinsohn was really hard to communicate calmly, all he wants is money money. I found him unkind, lazy and rude. If I could turn back the time I would never hire him again. He still owes me money from PI investigation but I’m so sure I’ll never see that money again. I totally wasted all my money on him. I wouldn’t recommend this lawyer.

I would not hire this attorney who was referred to me. He stared off really kind and nice however, it turned a different way. I ended up having to hire an actual experienced federal attorney. I highly recommend that YOU do your research on this attorney. Ask specifically how many federal cases..., and general cases he has had an entire career, ask about his knowledge and understanding of federal and state laws. He charged me a flat rate of $25K to be my attorney which I have now found out was EXTREMELY high for his years of actual experience (# of cases, #of trials won, appeals, the list goes on). I I asked for an itmeized statement which in return was a joke (I wish I could post) it was literally a numbered document he made and said he was charging $600/hr (this hourly rate was never discussed). He also charged 2hrs for creating a document that a middle student could create. I would STAY AWAY from this attorney and always get a second opinion for local bay area attonrey's who are notable and high profile.
