Bankruptcy is something that no one wants to go through. However, many people are left with no choice after mounting bills, and non stop collections calls become overwhelming. I decided to file bankruptcy because I wanted to get my finances back in order without the burden of older debts holding me back. Poor choices in the past, started catching up to me and this was the smartest option for me. So glad that I filed for CH7...and wished I did it sooner. I reached out to Lever Law and Jill Kim responded quickly. She quoted me a very reasonable price compared to other attorneys. The whole process can seem scary, but having a knowledgeable attorney helping you can ease the stress. I had my 341 meeting on 12/19/25 and Jill was there with me on the zoom call. Today I just received my Order of discharge. Almost 60days from the 341 meeting. Totally relieved and happy and recommend anyone who is considering filing for bankruptcy to use Jill Kim (or Lever Law). Give yourself peace of mind, and a fresh start! read more

Worked with Jill Kim and Anna, they were very helpful, kind and supportive. Quick to respond and to send reminders to ensure you follow through to make this process seamless. Appreciate their hard work! read more

Honestly hands down the best and nicest firm that was able to help me with my chapter 7 bankruptcy. From the beginning having Anna reach out and walk me through the process and my attorney Jill being there every step of the way and making this bankruptcy easy and painless. If you're looking for a firm to value your you and your time, please reach out to lever law. I'm really appreciated for everything they done for me. read more

This firm was recommended by my lawyer for advice on a bankruptcy issue. I left a message with Christine and received a return call within the hour. She reviewed the paperwork I sent her and advised me all within the same day. I have been very pleased with the help I received and would highly recommend them. read more

Reached out about a concern, replied back fast and spoke to a attorney in just 2 days. Very knowledgable and know what they are talking about. You are in great hands. read more

They don't care about giving the right advises to their clients. They will only give you advises that benefit them (not you) and justify a rip off for legal fees. Based on my experience with this lawfirm, I would not recommend them! read more

I had an initial consultation with Steve and Christine to go over my options about filing chapter 13 bankruptcy. This was the third lawyer I talked to and the one that gave me the most peace of mind about making my decision. They are very knowledgeable very patient with the client and evaluate all possible options so you make the best decision in the end. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for someone in your corner to help you through this difficult time in your life. read more

I am so impressed that HE actually answered the call rather than most attorneys who filter and decide if they want to call you back. He has educated me, guided me in every single step in this process, not to mention his amazing staff as well.

A good friend recommended Steven Lever with Lever Law and I am very thankful for that. They did an ecellent job with my bankruptcy and never left my side during this difficult time in my life. It just took (1) phone call to realize that Laver Law was the right pick. read more

Steven is an excellent bankruptcy attorney, found him on Yelp. We were close to losing our home, and Steven fought hard in our bankruptcy case. He and Felipe always kept us informed, and were always helpful. He is very professional and highly dedicated to his work. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney. read more

Used LeverLaw for my Bk case. Must say it was easier than I expected. The meetings with Steve we're pretty smooth overall. Felipe was very helpful keeping me updated on what was needed. The only thing I would say I disliked was that he wasn't present at the hearing. He has arrangements made so that another attorney represents you on that day. I would still recommend them to anyone who is thinking about filing for bankruptcy. read more

Really nice guy. I didn't end up needing a lawyer after all but thank you for answering all of my questions. I truly appreciate your time.

Steve Lever is a top notch bankruptcy attorney!!! I found him through Yelp. Unfortunately, I was in debt because of huge medical expenses. I picked up a second job on the weekends. I also started driving for Door Dash, Postmates, Uber, and Lyft at night after work. Despite all the work I was doing, I couldn't afford to buy food or put gas in my car and ended up maxing out all my credit cards within a six month period. I felt like such a failure and started looking into debt consolidation. I found out that my credit would get even worse because they have you pay into a savings account and pay each bill off one by one. In the meantime, non of the other creditors are getting paid, so you incur late fees and receive collections calls. I knew this wasn't the way to go because I couldn't even afford the monthly amount they wanted from me. Besides, you can negotiate with the creditors yourself and not pay their hefty fees. I was so nervous and scared to claim bankruptcy. Steve made me feel so comfortable about it and made the process so easy. I paid him a flat fee in monthly installments for four months before my bankruptcy was officially filed. I went to his office only three times for approximately two hours each time. During those visis he explained the process and taught me how to manage my money better so I don't end up in this situation again. I did have to go to court approximately one month after filing to meet with the trustee. The meeting went smoothly and was over pretty fast (about an hour waiting my turn and approximately 10 minutes for the meeting ). I received my discharge a month later. The whole process took about six months to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. If you are in a bad financial situation like I was, I highly recommend him!!! read more

Steve has been a great help since I first started working with him. He made everything so easy to understand. The process was simple and he even after everything was over he has continued to help me. I highly recommend him to anyone who may need his services. read more

I can't give enough thanks to Steven Lever and his cooperation, professionalism and expertise in my case. I had consulted with a few attorneys for my bankruptcy and was personally blown away with Steven's approach to righting my financial path. From the first meeting, Steven set the plan of attack and outlined what would happen one month, two months, 6 months and a year from our first consultation. He continually informed me via e-mail or phone as to the happenings of my case and the next steps. He handled all creditor calls and forms that needed to be filed in a quick and perfect manner. Any and all questions I had for Steve were answered promptly and thoroughly. I can finally say that he helped me get back on track and relieved a huge stress in my life. Thanks again, Steve, for everything that you have done and continue to do! read more

I contacted Mr. Lever for a consultation on my situation and he was very thorough, honest, and provided me excellent advice. Although ultimately he felt I didn't need to file bankruptcy, as that was not the best option for me, he gave me valuable information and education on how to qualify for bankruptcy and how the law works. While I didn't ultimately obtain his services, I would still recommend him for his professionalism, prompt reply, and sound advice. read more

Listen....bankruptcy can be a real low in your life, especially if you don't have a lawyer with skills and knowledge to help you through it. I am truly grateful that I had Steven Lever on my side! He was completely competent and professional from the first day of our journey till the last! I can't thank him enough for giving me a fresh start!!!! I recommend Steven to everyone I know!!!!! Thanks Steve, your the best! read more

We cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for us. You have made a difficult situation somewhat simple. I never held lawyers in high regard, but you have brought me around. You truly are great at what you do and we appreciate all the hard work you put into our case, how freely you answered our questions and the amount of time you gave to us in those initial meetings. I can honestly say that our initial meeting was what sold us on you and your firm. You did not disappoint. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, read more

Let me start off by saying my partner hired Steve for her bankruptcy and everything went pretty smooth with her. However, I had doubts with him and confronted her during the process. Once my partner sees good in someone, she doesn't look back. I had asked Steve during her process what he thought about my credit with out running it and if it would be a value to file. I explained my situation to him regarding past due bills and having $xx amount of debt. Of course he stated it would be, but I wasn't sure I wanted to file at that time & have BK on my record. After debate for close to a year I finally decided that I wanted to look further into. I wanted my credit checked to make sure it was worth it, which he did for my partner before any payment was received. I reached out to Steve via e-mail, his response threw me off, but I continued to seek counsel with him. "Hi Tiffaney: This got sent directly to me--which is fine." We spoke over the phone and Steve asked, "what made you change your mind" I explained to him that I was ready, I wanted him to run the credit and and make sure it was a value. Steve explained that he can run a report that is $33 and if I choose to continue it will be included in the fees, if not, I would be responsible just for the report. Here is were it gets weird again,..... "Are you going to have to make payments like your partner had too?" Steves's tone was not pleasant. I explained to him, I wouldn't need to make payments I will be paying the bill up front. We scheduled a time for consultation and that was that. SOOOO I THOUGHT!!!! Noooo!!! I received a retainer letter, along with e-mails and phone calls to make payment. Last phone call I received was from Felipe asking if I was going to sign the retainer and make payment. I explained to him that I wasn't going to sign anything until the appointment date. He said he had to check with Steve to see if that was okay. I received a call back but missed it, VOICEMAIL stating that Steve would not be able to see me unless the payment is made on the day of or before. WHAT!!! I called and spoke with Steve directly and his comments....OMG.. "my time is valuable" and payment needs to be made. I'm sorry when you advise a potential client we are Running a $33 report and we will go from there. Why on earth will I pay you the BK amount before making a final decision? His attitude was sooooo RUDE, I expressed how I felt and mentioned it makes me feel that I should seek elsewhere. His response, "then you should go." Correct me if I am wrong but you do not do business that way. All said and done, I hung up on him!! Realized what I didn't like about him a year ago just proved me right. Would never recommend this attorney. Hs is RUDE! read more

I was freaked out the mere mention of the word bankruptcy! I took a chance and I called Steven's office he himself answered on the first ring, where I got nervous thinking I was going to be directed to a machine and didn't have to talk to a live person...lol. I then this myself explain my situation Steven made me feel hopeful and comfortable with my decision of filing for bankruptcy! Please, if you are in a situation where you feel there's no hope. Call Lever law offices. It doesn't hurt to try. Nothing beats a failure but a try! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this firm and their staff. Felipe was so patient with my lack of computer skills and talked me through everything, every step of the way. read more

I was thoroughly impressed with the personal attention I received at Lever Law. They took my situation, which was complicated and irregular and patiently walked me through the process until it was resolved. Both Steven and Felipe are courteous and compassionate consummate professionals. I can not recommend them enough. I feel very lucky to have found them. read more

I have to admit this is a place you must seek if you have hit rock bottom with your credit cards. I was doomed in debt and was in desperate need to dig out of the mess I had got myself in. I stumbled upon Lever Law on Yelp and decided to make an appointment after calling several other BK offices, many who claimed to be booked or way too expensive. When I called Lever Law, Steve the attorney, was very upfront about the consultation and what was to be expected of filing the case. I was immediately interested in pursuing my case with him. He reviewed my case based upon the information I provided. He was very supportive and I found it very interesting that he planned accordingly and set a schedule to abide by. His appointments are well rounded and thorough to make sure nothing is missed, if more time is needed he won't be reluctant to extend the time of the appt. to answer all questions, discuss relevant matter, and give you the best advice he can. I immediately informed him I wished to seek a plan of payments, he was very sympathetic and also very uncritical, so don't worry about being judged. It's in his best interest to see you experience financial freedom once again, and he will help you every step of the way as he is also a financial counselor. He reassured me that it will all turn out fine and I shouldn't let BK much less Creditors intimidate me, so have the peace of mind that you are in great hands. Madeleine his assistant is very invaluable as she in on top of deadlines, sending reminders, and staying in contact with clients. If needing to reschedule an appointment or if needing extra time to make a payment they are more than welcome to assist you. Don't hesitate to call if you ever need to ask question she will answer to the best of her ability, if the matter is more complex she will relay the message to Steve and he will get to you as soon as possible. Overall a place I would definitely recommend and pass on to friends, family, etc. if ever necessary. E-mail is the primary choice of communication but they are very exceptional about responding to inquiries. read more

I cannot recommend Steve enough. He has not only been incredibly professional and helped our family tremendously through a stressful time, but he has felt like a friend as well. He has been a source of strength, knowledge, courage and hope. Through this process, he and Felipe have walked us through step by step and made things manageable. Every meeting and correspondence we had with them erased our doubts and fears and we always left with confidence that we were headed in the right direction. Now that things have been finalized and we have seen what a dramatic positive impact this has had on our lives we can breathe a sigh of relief. Even if something comes up that is confusing, I know that I can still reach out to Steve and he will be there. This is a person who truly cares about his clients and makes us feel as taken care of as a family member. I would give as many stars as I could. Thank you! read more

Steve.. Steve.. Steve, you are awesome. After you review my case and said you can help me for a reasonable fee. All of the stress left my shoulders and I was able to sleep.

You guys are truly the good guys. read more

Considering how highly stressful and complex our case was, Steve and his staff handled it with outmost knowledge and professionalism. We came in through the door anxious and worried. Steve laid out our game plan and stuck with it, he supported us every step of the way. Our case was quite complex and required a lot of planning considering our high income. The Board asked for a lot of documents-pre, during and post petition. Steve and his staff took care of everything for us. They are very organized and experienced.
