Bruce and Shelley are two very knowledgeable attorneys. They know the law and go out of their way to help and guide their clients with the best possible advice and solution to their problem. They are very patient and explain each detail of one's case in a way that a layman can understand. The go out of their way to set up appointments at the client's best times. They also return calls/emails quickly with resolution.

I am very grateful to them. I just went through a bankruptcy, which was very hard for me to do. Through their guidance and expertise the outcome was very good. They helped to get my life back on track after many years in a difficult situation with my home.

I would highly recommend Levitt & Slafkes. Mrs.Slafkes is wonderful. She is very honest and reassuring. She explained everything and answered all questions. I was refereed by a friend. The payment agreement was very fair and they will work with you.

SOME SMALL IS BETTER....
Levitt & Slafkes, small but amazingly competent, were engaged after experiencing the worst possible representation by a firm advertising time payment but which tried to pile on more charges when filing time was critical; at first twice denying their responsibility as written in two retainer agreements. A costly $700 in time payment fees for which they provided little and then required a handwritten 37-page questionnaire (typewritten was not allowed even though I had drafted most of the requisite schedules), before proceeding. Levitt & Slafkes is a small firm, with well-organized professional offices and a friendly atmosphere; well worth a reasonable fee that, in retrospect, I realized you get what you pay for. And at times, you get more than you pay for.
Time was critical since the firm I discharged missed repeated deadlines allowed by a kind and patient judge who was stretched to her limits unless the final deadline was met.
From the outset the entire process was simple and easy. Shelly Slafkes, Partner, met with me for a little more than an hour. She reviewed forms I had prepared in advance, asked questions, and afterwards, transcribed all required data needed for a multitude of complex schedules, with only a few phone conferences to get added information. All data was entered by her (no handwritten or typed questionnaire required) into a computer program which is designed to submit a complete filing. In due course the case was recently discharged.
But this is not the end. There was potentially a new problem regarding an apartment lease. When aware of this, both partners joined in a phone call to recommend, prior to the case being closed, amending this obligation to the case for added protection from the court. Good lawyering is always hoped for when engaging an attorney. But taking time, after discharge, to recommend and then prepare needed documents without requesting added fees is an act of servicing a client, unexpectedly volunteered, and greatly appreciated. One would be ill advised to consider “bargain rate” or legal “factories” (found on the internet) instead of engaging this highly effective and proficient firm.

My husband and I could not be happier with the service Bruce, Shelley, Carol, and the rest of the staff gave us. We were so upset with the situation we had been going through and Bruce worked hard to get us what was fair and in a timely manner. We are very grateful for everything they all did for us.

Bruce always kept in touch with me via email or phone. Always kept me updated.

You really can’t go wrong with Bruce, Shelley, and their staff on your team.

Thank you guys

Shelley is an amazing attorney. She is very understanding and straightforward. She was on top of everything and I didn’t have to worry about nothing. If you are looking for an experienced attorney that knows their stuff she is definitely My Choice 10times over.

I went through a divorce 2 years ago, which left me in a poor financial position. After a year of being paying out more than I earn, I was forced to pull the plug on my finances and start with a fresh slate. I weighed my options very carefully, and decided bankruptcy was the right thing to do. After that decision, I quickly found out how common a thing this is, and was pretty upset that I waited to long to pull the trigger.

Anyhow, I picked this firm first because they were close to my home and had good reviews... and I am extremely happen with my selection. Bruce and Shelley were awesome.

I work in the city... and they were very flexible with their appointment times to allow me to come in. They do a lot of work behind the scenes and will follow up with you to make sure you provide them the information they need.

The only thing that could get me truly back on track was a Chapter 7, and they were able to get enough information about my situation to properly qualify me.

They made the process feel quick and painless, and did a great job of coaching me through it.. answering any/all questions and not pressuring me at any point of the process. They are very professional, down to earth, and give very good guidance through this difficult decision.

If you've decided to file, look no further than this firm. You are in good hands. I was able to keep all of my personal items, including my car.

Do not trust your business with these people. Took the money and didn't anything. It would be better if I made a charitable contribution to the church than to this office.

My case was complicated but Bruce saved my home for me and my children, thats pretty much the bottom line. It was not easy. But Bruce kept on top of the case and he did not give up. I am pleased with the outcome of my case and I would definitely recommend Levitt & Slafkes law firm.

I am truly grateful to the team at Levitt and Slafkes P.C.. The staff is not only exceptionally and exemplary, they are extremely fast as they are efficient. The customer service, and genuine concern that they give their clients are truly the best while insuring that they are well educated in financial planning and credit matters. This has truly given my life a fresh start and informed perspective. Thank you Mr. Levitt and Mrs Slafkes so much for all you do!

Five years ago i filed bankruptcy for me Shelley and Bruce Levitt were very professional but warm understanding and helpful explaining all the details of bankruptcy and how and what would happen, how long it would take and the outcome, based on the information I provided them.
Choosing bankruptcy was a very difficult emotional decision for me. Their empathy, kindness and knowledge helped me get through it. When my daughter came to me after her divorce recently explaining where she was financially and needed help I immediately recommended Bruce Levitt and Shelly to help her. After her visit today she felt relieved and knew she was in the right hands and the right place.

I was referred to Levitt and Slafkes by a friend who affectionally called them the GURUS of Bankruptcy. They made you feel at home and the service was first rate as they explained the bankruptcy procedure. The staff were also very friendly and made you feel right at home.
I was very happy with their the service and I would use them again.
Please call them, if you need their help!

Great lawyers! Very professional and efficient I went in for a free consultation feeling hopeless and drowning in debt and they gave me a new beginning and a second chance. Very non judgemental and affordable business who will do everything to help you. Not to mention Carol at the front desk is an absolute doll she hugs you like your family. Great lawyers if you have more debt then can handle and need help please call them.

I could not be more pleased with the assistance I received from this dynamic duo. I walked through their door with the weight of the world on my shoulders, and on the very first day we met, I left with hope, and a feeling everything would work out. (something that seemed impossible at the time)

They worked hard for me, kept me on point...which I needed, and in the end, everything did work out.

I got a new lease on life, and all the while felt reassured about a process that was quite scary and intimidating to me.

While I'm sure many attorneys know how to handle the legal process, I doubt very many do so with a "bedside manner" that a person needs when they're struggling to get back on their feet.

I'm back on my feet :)

You can be too.

Go for it!

&

Good luck!

Levitt & Slafkes, PC is the greatest ever. I was not sure about what I should do in terms of my financial issues and I decided that I needed to file bankruptcy as hard as it was I checked a couple of websites and read reviews about other attorneys and after careful consideration I telephoned Levitt & Slafkes first off Mrs Carol is the most professional and polite person to speak with I was thankful for her friendly attitude. Upon meeting the staff and talking to Mrs Slafkes I felt like I made one of the best decisions in obtaining their firm. They are very knowledgeable and really walk you through the process step by step. They really have their clients best interests in mind. I was ever so grateful how quick and painless the process was and would recommend them to everyone.

Shelley and Bruce helped me at a time where I faced a situation that I did not know how to handle. Using their experience, they explained the bankruptcy process and resolved concerns I had with facts. Their kind and professional demeanor was exactly what I needed to get through the tough financial time I faced. I appreciate all the work they did to help me.

I have never left a review before (not even on books) but felt that Levitt & Slafkes deserved a rave. Their handling of a complicated legal matter was straight-forward, professional and successful. They were supportive and caring and made sure I understood each step of the process. If you're in need of an attorney I whole heartedly recommend them.
