I had an excellent experience with this law firm. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and guided me through every step with clarity and confidence. I truly felt they had my best interests in mind and would highly recommend their services. Matt read more

I was a client for over a year & a half. I was only interviewed over the phone when I called for service. After a short 10 min conversation, he said he could help me. During the entire time, not once was I asked to come in for a personal meeting as my condition worsened. I am a Design Engineer and design automotive components on a computer program. I was making 6 figures. $$. I I developed an intestinal condition. That blood markers said was an intestinal tumor, even though subsequent test could not locate a tumor. However, it wasn't the stomach that prevented me from working. It was the side affects from the condition. Which was extreme cramping. I couldn't even squeeze my computer Designing mouse without my hand cramping. I Can Not do my job without that ability. I can't use a keyboard for designing. After well over a year I was denied disability. But the explanation made no mention of the cramping issue. When I mentioned that to my lawyer, he requested a re-consideration. (No ability to say why). Months later, that was denied. The final stage (court hearing) came. & I was not coached at all as to the format, or what the judge was looking for. Also, no preliminary test on my ability to connect to the online hearing like I've had with other online appointments I've had. As a result, the Judge could not see me, only hear me. Even though I mentioned the cramping, I believe it was never presented by the lawyer. (Which was switched from my original Lawyer). & The new lawyer requested an additional 3 weeks from making a decision to allow for medical reports from recent Drs appointments,even though I've already submitted an inch thick medical report. I believe all that contributed to the final decision by the Judge denying my claim. My health has declined considerably since filing. I've lost about 35 lbs, since I'm not processing the vitamins & minerals I eat, the cramping issues have worsened. Had I been seen on occasion by your firm, you may have witnessed my decline.. As it is. Your firm declined any attempts to appeal that decision. As a final note. I would not have given over $100,000 for a quarter of that if I was able to continue. Late or flawed designs, would have ruined the company I worked for. Thank you Levine Benjamin read more

My review on 08/28/2026 inferred that I responded from Southfield, MI. I reside in Little River, SC.

Ive been under contract i believe 7 months. Have yet to speak with my attorney. Ive sent emails. Just made 2 phone calls. Ive been hung up on and shuffled through the system. I bet my settlement I will hear from them when I win and they get their cut after I have done all the work. Lawyers SUCK the life from their clients. read more

Terrible from start to finish. Gary dumped me with someone named Kamri which could only be described as a new trainee or just completely clueless. She acted like she was confident but in court she seemed really nervous and barely said a word. Just a huge waste of time. Hey at least she got training while my SSDI got denied all the way through to the end! read more

This law firm cost me an entire year of disability processing. They never followed up on anything. When I called to ask any questions they made me feel like I was stupid, and never answered the question. In fact I was provided with incorrect information costing me valuable time. I would not recommend using this law firm. I felt like a number and it cost me a years worth a pay. read more

Lots of bureaucracy, they will not let you speak to an actual lawyer even after you have signed the documents hiring them and given them your Soc. Also, the gatekeepers at the phone lines are quite rude once they have your paperwork. (They spoke rosily before that). The person at the phone bluntly said that the attorney assigned to me was not available and refused to transfer to his voicemail. Gary B from Levine Benjamin who responded below to my original post is lying and had posted a standard rosy response. read more

My matter was assigned to attorney Lorenzo a d'agostini and was that my Lucky draw. Very impressive attorney At All points in the process. Clear communicator who easily prepared and assured in moments when another lawyer could have taken all day. Efficient, impressive in argument. A credit to his profession. read more

I had a question but needed a quick answer, and Antoine Hawkins was very informative caring about the outcome and a beyond very polite gentleman Lawyer our questions were in regards to disability and heat again was very helpful. read more

Via their website, someone requested a legal consult with Levine Benjamin and accidentally added my email. Immediately (within an hour or two), my email account was spammed with semi-legit "disability benefits" orgs. I get 10-20 spam emails a day from multiple subscribed lists. DO NOT REQUEST INFO/A CONSULT FROM THEIR WEBSITE!!! read more

My friend told me about them and I called. Joseph houle was the most honest and helpful lawyer. I also was able to work with Lorenzo D'Agostini. They both helped me win my case. Mr.Lorenzo got me thru my hearing with the judge. I couldn't be more grateful for this law firm. Mr. Lorenzo has answered every question and has been so amazing, when I was confused on how it works. I will recommend them to anyone who asks. Thank you. I wouldn't have won without them. read more

Thankful for the help and yes we won. Just a warning on how long it does take though....M Warren

Never asked to be called or contact. Never had a case. Constant harassing emails, texts and phone calls.

Very happy with results. They go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of.

The Levine Benjamin law firm is a great law firm. I was denied on my disability claim and Joseph Houle helped me with an appeal/reconsideration. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, answered all my questions and informed me ahead of time what the outcome could be. I want to thank him and his firm for the time, effort and work to get the job done to a favorable decision. There was always someone to actually talk to every time I called with a question or concern. They did a great job!! read more

I'd leave zero stars for this firm if I could. And if someone from the firm leaves a response to my review, don't believe a word they say. I had my attorney switched 3 times during the process of waiting for a hearing. I won my case, not because they are good at what they do. I won because my case was an undeniable win. 25 months after my case was won, I received my first disability check and a few weeks after that I received the first installment of back pay. I received a second installment of back pay in February. Now the SSA wants me to give them a check for $5,000 because they said was overplayed. The attorney who was completely unprepared at my hearing, Jason S is no longer with the firm (or so I've been told). So, there's no one to ask why I was overpaid. I'm sure the firm got their money though. That's all they care about. In the interim of all of this, someone at Levine Benjiman named Maurice contacted me with some very confusing information about Medicare. He made claims that if I took $160 less every month from my disability check, I would receive better benefits from the government. My disability check is now $1,300 instead of $1,460 and I've yet to determine what type of "extra help" I'm getting. That $160 that I'll be losing every month is going into someone's pocket at the firm. Maurice is a con artist who will spin you into circles and then tell you that you are stupid for not understanding why he's getting your $160 every month. Stay VERY far away from these people. It's a complete circus. They don't give a crap about their clients. They just want their cut of the money that you'll wait over 2 years for the government to pay you, and then they'll want to take another $160 a month from you for the rest of your life. read more

I knew I would love this firm when Gary Bimberg refused to take my case until I had gotten a denial letter from SSA. He didn't want me to have to pay if he did nothing. He told me to call him if and when I got said letter. The day I got it, I called and Gary took it from there. I got denied again. But we filed for a hearing. Before the hearing ever happened, the judge made his decision and approved me saying he couldn't understand why I had ever been denied. From beginning to end, I felt important. I felt like Gary really cared. I cannot say enough about this firm. Thank you so much! read more

Quick response, brief explanation of process and reassurance. Also spoke directly to lawyer .

All staff was very polite and knowledgeable if I had a question no question it was answered Thank You Donald Busta for for your experience you are the Greatest Thank You read more

my overall experience as of now has been that the several times I've called to check in on my claim status, CRYSTAL has been rude as hell to me for no reason. I will be calling back in 2 weeks when Gary is back from vacation and adressi this further. negative and rude women when I called, and I am sending a certified letter. I'm sure Crystal will have some explaining to do. I don't think any business wants a rude woman representing their company. any men I've spoken with were very polite. Rude people suck CRYSTAL. read more

I was a client for Levine Benjamin with a Summer 2023 hearing date. Donald Busta talks well on the phone, but it feels like they spent far too little time on my case. I waited months between contact points with the firm and only discussed my case the day before my hearing. We only talked about how I should personally describe my case myself and a work history question. Be aware my medical history has thousands of pages, as I'm a 100% P&T VA-rated veteran. Not knowing the process, I thought everything would run smoothly. After my case was denied, I briefly talked with Mr. Busta about appealing the decision. I agreed. A day or two later, I called his office to request a detailed discussion about the appeal process and to go over the nuances of the case. The following week, I called to follow up. His secretary said she filed the appeal that morning. I was dismayed because I found out that the appeal did not outline any discrepancies between my medical history and the administration judge's gross misinterpretation of my medical data. For example, my court decision had language claiming that I was female when I was a man. It also claimed that I have had no behavioral health treatment when I have had extensive treatment, which is one of the primary reasons I am 100% P&T V.A. rated. During my call, I learned Mr. Busta was on vacation that week. If no notes were attached to the appeal, I noted that the process felt lackluster and lazy for the appeal. His secretary took it personally, stating she filed the appeal and was not lazy. She hung up on me. The following week, I had numerous medical appointments due to my deteriorating medical and mental health. This included severe S.I. When I was stable, I called the office of Levine Benjamin to follow up. I was told that Mr. Busta was in a hearing, and I asked if he was available the following day. His secretary said to me that I would get a call shortly. Two days later, I received a USPS-secured letter that my wife signed stating that I was dropped as a client due to the appeal being denied, and Mr. Busta was not confident in my case. I'm frustrated that I've wasted two years of my life on SSDI when, statistically, my life expectancy is much shorter than the average American. The day I received the letter stating that my case was dropped, I tried to call the Levine Benjamin office but was repeatedly told that my case was closed. I'm at a loss. My mental health symptoms are deteriorating. I honestly can not recommend the law firm Levine Benjamin at this point. Updated: I did have a 9 min conversation about my case with Mr. Busta after I sent him this review over email. Basically, all the time effort I put in is a wash. I would avoid hiring Mr. Busta. He was full of platitudes over the phone. I question his professional ethic on my case. read more

I am a client of Joe Houie. Anytime I ve called they have been polite and professional. They are very helpful a d always put my concerns and worries to rest. My case took only 8 months and I received my approval in the mail. I'm so happy it's almost over. Jsut one more phone interview to go over payments. I was denied the firdt time when I filed on my own. Hiring Levine Benjamin was the best thing I could've done. Ty for winning my case Joe and staff! read more

I recently hired this law firm to represent me at a social security hearing and a month before the hearing I was informed that my original attorney was not available and I had to partner with a new attorney. I had a total of three conversations with this attorney one conversation was to inform me that he needed my medical records, the second conversation was to go over what to expect at the hearing, and the third converstaion was after the case was over I had a few questions about the case and he explained to me that he never recieved any communications from SSA. I talked to the paralegal more than I talked to him and I did not retain the service o the paralegal I hired him. I knew he was dodging me and avoiding my emails and phone calls because SSA already informed me that he had already been paid. The attorney that was given to me and not selected by me was Joeseph E Houle. read more

I'm a client of levine Benjamin . The original attorney assigned to my case left the firm. I had a hearing set for December 22 or January 23 that has came and went and I didn't receive an update from my attorney. After several days with no update, I contacted the office and was told that someone would get back to me. A few days later I received a call from a different attorney explaining that my previous attorney was no longer with the firm. This is a week or more after my hearing date. I asked the attorney why wouldn't they inform me of this information and he told me that it was mailed that day. Very unprofessional. He then told me about another hearing date set for January 31,23. I then received a letter a few days later explaining that I was assigned a new attorney as the previous attorney was no longer there along with a letter stating a hearing for February 7,23 but no information about the January 31 hearing. Today is February 15 and I have yet to receive any information on my case other then I have a control hearing on the 7th of February and that the receptionist would give the message and after getting the voicemail leaving a message. This doesn't feel like this is how a client has to reach out to the firm who is representing them. I can only rate them on my experience to this point and they are doing a horrible job communicating with me after being appointed a new attorney. And so far no rating eou be given or a negative one. I have to leave a rating in order to post this review. This has been a long ,mentally stressful and painful process for me and I hope with the appointment of a new attorney it doesn't continue to be this way. read more

The case moved slow at first due to filing during Covid-19. Seemed like months went by without word. Finally had a hearing on June 1 2022. The judge ruled in our favor. A month later the review board overturned the judge. We had a rehearing in February and we won again. My attorney Lorenzo was very polite and professional. Most importantly he won my case. I highly recommend them. read more

I needed a lawyer after being denied and reapplying for disability a few years ago. The same thing happened with Levine; they said they don't think my case is worthy of going to the Federal court. I was not in a lot of contact with them either. I am unhappy that I have to start all over as I can't work and depend on a friend to help me. read more

Went here for SS disability and Joel gave it to another attorney in his firm the day I had to go to court this attorney hadn't even read my case when he got there he was looking over it as I walked up. I didn't get my disability with this Law Firm I went to another firm and I got it. I guarantee you this positive reviews were written by them or relatives.. that's why there's only six when they've been around for many years! Don't waste your time read more

But you have to watch out because they want try to take your whole check if they do get you approved after being there for the second hearing after they missed the 1st hearing by not showing up at all, they will bill you for even more then the 25% of your back pay for paper work processing fee's in other words they do not want to do no work but show up for the hearing and leave and get thousands of dollars for that then if they want you to get more paper work and they send for it You will have to pay them extra. I sure am going to Appeal the fee that they are asking for thousands of dollars is not what they earned! read more

I referred my friend to this law firm after reading some of the firm's great reviews. From start to finish, the firm was superb. The communication was excellent, and the representation in court was the best. My friend received more than the expected outcome, and we both will be grateful forever to attorney Lorenzo D'Agostini and his staff for the superior and professional representation. read more

Helped my dad with his disability case, he is extremely grateful, he also said great representation. And he would recommend their firm to anyone. Thank you Levine Benjamin Law Firm! read more

Do not choose these lawyers! They do nothing but lie! I used them twice to try and get disability never in all that time did I ever meet or talk to the 2 men on their commercial like They say you will. They took forever and never were able to give me a good answer to my questions. The last time I went in front of the judge my lawyer was 30 minutes late and a different lawyer then I had been talking with. He knew nothing about my case and made us both look foolish. I was thoroughly embarrassed. Needless to say I did not get my disability until I got a different lawyer and got it quickly. Please don't waste you time on these liars!! read more

These lawyers are very deceptive the commercial makes you think they are caring attorneys NOT NOT NOT after the initial phone call,which seems nice then they throw you under the bus no communication unanswered phone calls you get shuffled from lawyer to lawyer without proper communication the people answering phones are extremely RUDE ..total waste of time and frustration ..I finally went on my own after a wasted year of failure with my case .and WON my case on my own by communicating with Social Security and submitting my own paperwork and won in two months ,,,,,please dont trust this firm NO RESPECT FOR THE CLIENTS...they see dollar signs not human beings read more

Mr. Gary Bimbergs office is the BEST! I Received my disability in 5 mos. They are GREAT to work with if I had a question I would email an within minutes they would call me from their office to explain things in detail to me. I have genuine disabilities so please keep in mind you do have to be disabled to get a favorable settlement. I truly appreciate all that your office did for me you an your staff are amazing!! If you don't use this office your wasting your time. Thanks again for everything Mary Gutkowski read more

From my first appointment (all over the phone, because -- I have a disability!!!) -- Levine Benjamin asked questions, arranged for paperwork and records, and even listened to my moments of craziness. I lost hope after my first claim was denied, but they walked me through my appeal and my representation was stellar. This team is phenomenal!! read more

Levine and Benjamin was amazing!! Joe houle and his team were so helpful. Then don busts and his team were so caring and helpful and worked hard and won my case. Maurice Jones helped me navigate medicare and got me signed up for everything and got me all the benefits I was entitled too. I have very rare conditions and for one of my conditions one of my meds cost 100,000 a month which I could never afford. Without these guys I could have died. They saved my lives! They are so smart and helpful and hardworking and caring, I'd reccomend them to anyone. Guys keep up the hard work it is so appreciated you saved and changed my life, thanks so much. -hannah martell- read more
