The Levey Law Firm

The Levey Law Firm is a distinguished name in business litigation, renowned for its strategic acumen and client-focused approach. Honing over four decades of legal expertise, the firm excels at transforming complex legal challenges into strategic victories. Its foundation of deep experience, unwavering dedication, perseverance, commitment to ethical practices and personalized services helps the firm to resolve issues quickly in the competitive legal landscape.

“Litigation is psychological warfare. The value and reassurance we offer our clients is that they can rest assured knowing we are working diligently to address their concerns and shift the stress onto the defendant,” says Lewis Levey, managing senior partner at The Levey Law Firm.

Levey's extensive background, which spans over four decades of experience filing lawsuits, resolving disputes, and collecting debts, forms the cornerstone of the firm's practice. Throughout his career, Levey has filed more than 10,000 lawsuits and managed over 10,000 court appearances and hearings.

The firm primarily represents plaintiffs, where Levey’s skills in garnishments and asset seizures are key and used as a cost-effective method for enforcing judgments. His ability to locate and freeze bank accounts—a “trade secret”— compels defendants to address debts quickly and engage in negotiations.

Levey's direct involvement in each case also ensures that clients receive personal attention and efficient service. Unlike many firms, where clients must navigate through layers of staff, Levey provides his personal cell phone number to clients, opposing counsel, and defendants. The accessibility allows him to address issues promptly and maintain a high level of client service. The family-operated structure, with his daughter working as an attorney within the firm and his other four children and wife assisting with various tasks, also ensures a high level of control and cohesion in the firm’s operations. Mr. Levey also attributes the success of his firm to the extraordinary talent of his Office Manager Ivan Alvarez who has been with the firm for 24 years.

Levey’s personal commitment to mindfulness and health further underscores his role, which is crucial for providing the client representation and standards of service that define the firm.

The firm is also deeply committed to ethical practices. Rather than maximizing billing opportunities, the firm adheres to its professional and ethical obligation to avoid overcharging clients, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner.

The Levey Law Firm always strives to advance cases swiftly to secure clients' payments, resorting to judgments, bank account garnishments, or asset seizures when necessary. Despite the changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the shift to Zoom hearings and increased scheduling flexibility, the firm has adapted successfully.

“The ease of scheduling and attending hearings via Zoom has led to an increase in the number of hearings, resulting in scheduling delays. These delays are further compounded by opposing counsel filing frivolous motions as stall tactics,” explains Levey.

In response, the firm upholds its motto of “fighting delay to make them pay” by using various techniques to secure the earliest possible hearing dates. The goal is to resolve issues quickly—sometimes within 48 hours—though most cases generally fall within a bell curve, typically resolving within a few weeks to a few months.

In addition to enforcing commercial contracts, The Levey Law Firm upholds clients’ rights in various legal contexts, particularly when dealing with contract breaches and statutory violations.

For instance, when representing a bank for cases involving unpaid car loans, boat loans, or unsecured credit lines, if a borrower defaults, the firm initiates lawsuits to enforce the contract terms, which may include claims for unpaid amounts, interest, attorney's fees, and associated costs.

Similarly, for cable piracy cases, where there is unauthorized public exhibition of pay-per-view sports events, the firm enforces both federal and state statutes that mandate licensing fees for these public showings. By pursuing these cases, the firm’s legal team ensures compliance with the law and enforces the rights of their clients, obtaining judgments and, when necessary, seizing assets or bank accounts of the violators.

The efforts have had a notable impact on reducing cable piracy in Florida, with fewer incidents reported compared to other states.

The Levey Law Firm also provides valuable assistance to defendants by offering strategies to protect their assets. While asset protection services can be costly, the team at The Levey Law Firm is adept at finding cost-effective solutions. By protecting defendants' assets, they often negotiate more favorable settlements or payment plans with the plaintiff's lawyers, who, recognizing that they cannot collect on protected assets, may be more amenable to compromise.

Over the years, the firm has transformed debt recovery by providing the fastest and most efficient financial resolutions for its clients. Under Lewis Levey’s leadership, the firm continues to uphold its reputation, ensuring justice is served, one case at a time.
