Exceptional Work

I certainly recommend Attorney Mr. Vandeveer highly – I engaged Mr. Vandeveer to do some legal work for our family, and we needed a quick turnaround. He was able to prepare the legal docs and get them to us for review less than 24 hours later. Mr. Vandeveer was responsive and attentive to a very sens...itive and timely situation. He explained the pros/cons and explained everything in detail. We are very pleased with the process and results. Mr. Vandeveer is extremely professional – anticipating issues and reacting quickly. He makes certain things are thought out, risks evaluated, and options in place. Mr. Vandeveer explains the process fully so that you understand it. While some attorneys opt to charge top of scale, Ms. Vandeveer is very fair with billings, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything works our in your favor. Thank you, Mr. Vandeveer, for all your help, and getting the job done quickly and correctly.

Understanding, Thoughtful & Detail Oriented

I worked with Austin and one his partners at the Jeffery Leving Law Firm in Chicago. Austin and his colleagues were extremely understanding of my situation and equally as importantly, the IL Family Law. This gave me a lot of confidence at a time when I really needed it -- to be able to negotiate fr...om a position of understanding, rather than fear. Austin is a responsive, understanding and detail oriented and I highly recommend him.

Austin Vandeveer

Wth the help of dishonest people and their willingness to tell great lies in order to help her ex. My daughter's son was taken away from her at 15 months of age in 7/2016. With this being said. We retained a lawyer who was not helping at all. We were going into an abyss with each court date. With no ...hope in sight, I called the Jeffery Levin office and made an appointment, . It was a cloudy, rainy and cold Saturday morning. We were not going to keep this appointment. We went anyway. We walked into the Office of Jeffery Levin, this is it! We had no hope left. We met with 2 attorneys: Austin Vandeveer was one of the attorneys that we spoke with. We explained to him that the lawyer that we retained was not helping and that we tried to fire him and was told by him that we could not. This lawyer put my daughter into a place that we could not foresee. It was horrible! I should add: We only had a few days before meeting this lawyer again in court. Could Austin help us?! Austin listened to what my daugher had to say intently. I could see by the look on his face that he could feel the desperation, pain and heartbreak that we were feeling. Just these words: You don't have to worry anymore, we can help you, made a tremendous difference. We had not heard these words fom the other lawyer. After speaking with Austin for a few hours, my daughter and I felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted off our chests', we could breathe again. My daughter and I both begain to cry..We knew at that moment that we had come to the right law office. Austin cared not only about my daughter's rights as a mother, he also cared about my rights as a grandmother and her son's rights. Even though it was still cloudy, rainy and cold outside, we felt like the sun was shining down on us and things looked a lot brighter. We know that Austin is in this battle with us and we can depend on him to be honest, hardworking and upfront with us, while also showing us that he cares about family. Mr, Levin, Austin is one Sharp Attorney! We:re glad that Austin's on our side! Nina
