I am very pleased with the service Levine, Furman & Rubin has provided us with. The lawyers are knowledgeable, responsive and friendly while maintaining a professional approach. Samantha in her client liaison role was particularly attentive to all of our needs, communicated clearly and efficiently.

A tad pricey, but very thorough, very professional. Impressive final product & promise of ongoing support if needed.

Samantha was terrific in helping with finalizing our documents. She was very professional, knowledgeable and lovely to deal with. Adam is terrific, as always, but this was our first time meeting Samantha and we were very impressed and happy to have her help!

I'm the executor of the estate of a Sr. Citizen. Levine, Furman & Rubin wrote the deceased's will and I hired them for the administration of the estate. Levin Furman & Rubin did a great job of administrating the estate with the handicap of the pandemic when the courts, banks, etc. are slower than normal. They provided me with legal guidance to minimize the chances of problems. They also did all of the paperwork (and it's a lot of paperwork)! I did NOT need to babysit them. I did NOT need to ride them. They are professionals, they get their work done on schedule. Because of COVID and I live an hour away from their office, I never physically met them. They were fine via telephone, email and Zoom. While I hope to never be an executor again, if I should be an executor, I would hire them in a heartbeat. On a tangential topic unrelated to legal advise, I strongly recommend having a will, a survivor's report & pre-plan the funerial. If the deceased has a will it will save you time and money with liquidating & distributing the assets. You're going to circumvent a lot of problems with a will. Levine, Furman & Rubin did a fine job with the will. A lot of senior citizens have decades of papers in their house (99% of these are irrelevant). The executor will need to determine the assets and liabilities quickly. You need to have the senior citizen write down all assets (bank account numbers, brokerage accounts, life insurance, etc) and liabilities (loans, HoA, etc). This way the executor will have a neat list to give to the attorney to start the asset recovery process. Concerning pre-planning the funerial, this is a time of high stress & drama and all of your family's problems are going to quickly rise to the surface. Everyone will have their opinion of what the deceased wants. By having it pre-planned with your local funerial home, you will circumvent this drama at a time of high stress. It will be written with the funerial director exactly what the deceased wants and does not want. Now, just let the funerial director execute. I know asking for a will, survivor's report and preplanning is an awkward conversation. My sr. citizen told me "Everything you need is in the filing cabinet." I went into the filing cabinet and all I found was thousands of irrelevant papers including a warranty for a Sears refrigerator from 1977, cancelled checks from the 80's, receipt for a saw from Rickles and a speeding ticket for someone who's been dead for 15 years. I had to be the bad guy and tell the sr. citizen I cannot make the commitment to be the executor if she cannot make the commitment to support me while she's alive. I need a pre-planned funerial to avoid drama and a survivor's report with all information on it (1 piece of paper) so I do not have to waste days trying to find this information. She complied.

If you need legal advice about estate planning, reach out to Levine, Furman & Rubin. The lawyers are knowledgeable, professional and approachable. The client liaison works diligently on all details and is timely in all communications. The office staff is welcoming and efficient.

I attend a seminar wanting to learn how Wills and Trust would benefit me and my family while I am alive and when I pass. I found out that it’s not that simple. At the seminar I learned so may scenarios of why it was so important for me to have a trust. At the seminar things I hadn’t thought of was brought to my attention like a health proxy and beneficiaries for my estate just to name a few of the basics but very Important issues. Adam Rubin was so informative and answered so many questions that I knew I couldn’t put it off any longer, the process was fairly simple. I was very happy with the level of attention and detail they put into making sure I covered all my concerns. Having the trust took a load off my mind. Thank you to everyone at Levine, Furman & Rubin.

Great experience with Adam Rubin and Samantha Schlau and supporting staff! They are very professional, caring and always responsive to our questions.

Everyone in the office are the ultimate professionals. They made us feel welcome, and understood our needs and exactly what we were looking to accomplish I gave them 5 stars and they have my full recommendation that I do without hesitation.

Everyone at this law firm has been very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional in the work that they do. Samantha Schlau was very sweet and extremely helpful with setting up our will!

The firm represents several of our family members and we continue to recommend them to friends. All of us feel we are in excellent hands and are confident our interests are well handled. We have become "a family" and interact with each other as such.

Although I have yet to retain Levine, Furman, & Rubin for some estate matters I will be involved with shortly, I can say without a doubt, this is the law firm I will use. When I called to obtain information about their services, I had the good fortune of speaking with paralegal Melissa Passero. She efficiently and professionally answered all of my questions. I did not once feel she was in a rush to dispense with me since I was not yet a client, as I did with a few other firms I called. She represents Levine, Furman, & Rubin in a most able and commendable manner. The combination of the excellent reviews left my clients and my interaction with Melissa, have "sealed the deal for me." This is the law firm for me.
