After suffering a traumatic dog attack, I attempted to meet with Attorney Robert Levine on December 19, 2024, at our scheduled time of 4:00 PM. He never showed. Only after I had already arrived and left did he call to say he was in court. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and met with him twice more. During those meetings, he assured me—face to face—that he would take my case on contingency. He collected my emergency room and plastic surgery records, spent time gathering all relevant details, and even stated he would be sending a demand letter to the responsible party in March.
Now, four months later, after dragging this out and giving me false hope, he suddenly informs me that he’s refusing to take the case after all—claiming it’s “too risky” because the dog owner didn’t have insurance. This is something that should have been determined from the beginning—not after wasting months of my time, during which I could have pursued another attorney.
This conduct is beyond unprofessional. I came to Mr. Levine in a vulnerable state, looking for help and accountability, and instead was met with empty promises, poor communication, and a complete lack of follow-through. Do yourself a favor and find an attorney who values your time and your trauma—not someone who leads you on and backs out when it no longer suits them.
