The team at Levine and Blit were impeccable from the very start of the process through the conclusion of my engagement with them. The relationship began with an efficient, informative, and confidence-building intake process with a senior executive and moved swiftly into work with my attorney, Ted Lippincott, during which he made a potentially stressful and confusing process easy and anxiety free. I really can't praise the firm or thank them enough for the expert guidance and support.

I contacted this law firm via their website. One of their lawyers called me back within an hour. I missed the call. They texted me to set up a convenient time to talk. We talked briefly and determined that my case was past the statute of limitations in most aspects. Cole (lawyer) took the time to advise me of other options. He did not push me into a process that I could not afford and that probably would not be successful. I haven’t ever filed a lawsuit before, but I know that lawyers can be unscrupulous and coax people into spending money on fruitless ventures. This firm was honest. I hope I never need a lawyer, but I would call these guys first if I ever do.

Cole and Ted were very communicative. I received the information/help needed to revise my agreement to make it mutual for both parties. I appreciate Ted for following up, adding value to the fee I had paid. Well worth it.

I was well represented by Levine and Blit many, many years ago. The atty, Erin Empting, was remarkable. The whole practice treated me with dignity and respect. Over the years I've referred friends in need of representation to this firm. They have always received sound direction. Today I called with a question. Cole answered the phone personally; he also picked up the last time I called about a year ago. He was involved with my case over 10 years ago; Cole was personally involved then; he made me feel valued. It's not every day I find that someone has earned my undisputed trust, the employees and councilors at Levine and Blit have done just that.

I reached out to Levine & Blit regarding a legal matter, and although they could not represent me because I reside in a different state, their guidance was invaluable. They spent time on the phone, listening to the details and offering general advice on how to proceed, all without charging a consultation fee. If I lived in their area, I would hire them in a heartbeat. A truly caring and professional attorney
