Sanford R. Levy

We had a remodel done by an inexperienced contractor. When it became apparent the contractor was actually damaging the house we contacted Levy. Facts: 1) he couldn't find the address of the contractor's bonding company, even thought it took me a few minutes on the Internet with the State of Washingto...n. 2) He advised us to put in a claim with our home insurance company for essentially the value of our house. This caused an immediate hostile reaction from the insurance company. We replaced Levy with attorneys that were competent, and it took us years of litigation to finally settle the damage Levy's advice caused. We wound up with a settlement that didn't even cover legal expenses, much less damage to the house, much less our emotional nightmare. When we objected to his charges at the end because of his advice and inability to discover the contractor's financial resources, he offered a $200 (If I remember correctly) discount if we signed an agreement not to pursue any remedies with him, as well as agree to keep quiet. We refused and paid the whole bill.
