Attorney James Levy, P.A.

"Levy failed to appear on behalf of his client at a Judicial Case Management Conference resulting in an Order for Judicial Default against his client, later to becme an Order for Judgment. Levy has been noticibly absent from several legal proceedings to which he was the representative party."

"Worst lawyer ever! This guy is a total scam. I paid him for a divorce over 3 year years ago and he basically ran away with my money. The case was closed because he failed to follow up on his end. I have called, emailed him numerous times and no response for months. I hired someone else and they got the job done in less than a month. Do not trust this person. He is a complete fraud! I looked him up and he has done this to so many people. Check out his review on the better business bureau. Someone needs to make this right."

"This attorney cost me so much in time with my child. Worst decision of my life. His good reviews have to be friends of his and not actual clients. He went months without responding to my emails, calls to his cell, calls to his office voicemail, or even texts. If I could give zero stars I would. I called around for other lawyers since I would get no response from James, and they would ask me who represented me before. I would tell them, and they would all laugh. Look him up on google. He’s got investigations on his practice from some of the same stuff. You won’t have to search hard. Do not go to this lawyer!!"

"Attorney James Levy is an incredibly effective attorney, I was very pleased with how responsive he was to my needs. He's very knowledgeable and definitely someone who will fight for you. His communications skills and style are very direct and plain language, which makes it easy an efficient to work with him. I highly recommend his services."

"Attorney James Levy (Florida Bar Number 177237) is the worst lawyer I've ever encountered. Avoid him at all cost. If you use him you'll likely have an extremely painful experience. I chose Mr. Levy to handle my divorce because at first glance he had positive reviews. I initially met with him to help me with a very simple divorce case. The divorce was uncontested, no children, with a prenuptial agreement in place. A case could not be more simple. Mr. Levy advertised a 3-4 week turn around once retained (2 weeks to draft paperwork & 2 weeks to process with courts). I agreed to work with him due to the rapid turn-around he was advertising. I was on a timeline because I'm military and was slated to deploy 3 months later, so it was important that the case be finished inside of that time-frame (which was reasonable). He said it wouldn't be a problem and should take no more than 1 month. In the end it took Mr. Levy 3 months to draft the paperwork (with me having to constantly prod him the entire way) and an additional month for him to file. The filing didn't happen until after I was overseas. Once I left the country Mr. Levy ceased all communications with me. He wouldn't return my phone calls or emails (dozens of each left). It took me coordinating with & physically sending an associate into his office with a power-of-attorney to get Mr. Levy to file the paperwork. After all of that, when he finally submitted the divorce package to the county it was incomplete (missing 1 simple document)! After filing he again ceased communications with me. Because of this my case sat in the court system for an additional 2 months before I was able to retain other counsel to finish the job. Overall it took more than 6 months for my extremely simple case to be resolved, and in the end I had to use someone else to finish the job. At first glance Mr. Levy comes across as professional and credible. When I first me with him he seemed to know what he was talking about when it came to FL family legal matters and initially he was punctual and responsive. Once I sent him the retainer all of that stopped. Communication with Mr. Levy was awful. Most of the time he was completely unresponsive to any mode of communication. I had a very negative experience with Mr. Levy and would not recommend him to anyone, ever. All I can say is buyer beware. Learn from my experience and do your homework before you retain this lawyer."
