Shea Homes Mass Action

Sandy was incredible! Knew how to navigate the complex legal landscape to find an appropriate suit that brought spectacular results. In a type of problem that seemed unsolvable, Sandy and Levy von Beck found a way!

I'm glad I worked with Levy Von Beck & Associates.

I have an excellent relationship with another attorney, and hired Sandy because my issue was specifically construction related. My experience with him was great; he is smart, experienced and explains things in a way i could understand. All in, i feel great about my experience with him.

Outstanding Performance

Mr Levy is very knowledgeable and an excellent trial attorney. We had trees cut down by a neighbor that trespassed and then denied it, even blaming my own construction company for the cutting. Mr Levy was very knowlegeable regarding the laws of timber tresspass and worked diligently on the case all... the way to trial. At jury trial Mr Levy's talents shined. He skillfully navigated through the deceit and lies and was able to get the defendants to admit they cut the trees. He was also able to discredit their expert witness's deceitful testimony. Mr levy worked very hard in preparing for trial including many late nights and weekends. He did not rack up fees unnecessarily and was extremely professional at all times. I would highly recommend Mr Levy.

Advice cost us a fortune to fix

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.
