Eugene F Levy Attorney At Law

Went to Mr Levy with a divorce request that should have been quick and simple. My then-​husband and I had not lived together for years, had no children, and our finances were completely separate. My then-​husband and I got along fine, but both of us agreed we did not want to be married anymore. It was totally amicable. HOWEVER, Mr Levy made it difficult. He charged us A LOT for a form-​letter separation agreement, though a separation was not even needed to get a divorce in NY. Both himself and his team did not respond to phone calls or emails until after about 8 tries. When he went to serve my then-​husband the divorce affidavit, he gave the wrong address and so my then-husband’s neighbor ended up knowing our private business. He sent both the process-​server and the letter to the wrong address, mind you. When my husband finally received the divorce affidavit, he signed it and returned it to Mr Levy within a week. However, when I would look on the ECourts website, I could never find our index number. I wanted an update as to what was going on. It turns out he NEVER forwarded the paperwork to the courts. This went on for 2 years of not getting any updates. When my then-​husband finally showed up at his office, Mr Levy could produce no proof that he had done anything towards heloping us get a divorce. A month later, he gave back a check for our retainer. This was the only right thing he did in the numerous years. It also PROVES that he did nothing, as he would have NEVER returned any of the money if he had done even a small amount of wotk.
