To date, our experience with Howard G O'rourke have been absolutely horrible. My family hired Mr…read more O'rourke back in December to handle an estate issue at the passing of another family member. Back in December, Mr. O'rourke said our issue could be handled/settled in one to two months. Despite our family promptly providing Mr. O'rourke with everything he's asked for in the past nearly 7 months, we've yet to settle our matters and there's no end in sight. In fact, we currently can't get a straight answer from him as to the status of our estate issue as he avoids our calls and emails. We're at a breaking point with this man who blew up with us over the phone when we finally got a hold of him just last week as we voiced our frustrations with his lack of service. He threatened to just drop us, mind you he was with another client while telling us this over the phone, despite our objections of him doing so. If things change in the next week or so and there's some type of resolution to our matter, I'll be happy to change this review. As of now, neither I or my family can recommend Mr. O'rourke's services.

AN ABSOLUTE AMAZING ATTORNEY. Mr O'Rourke & I met approx 8 yrs ago when I went searching for a real…read moreestate lawyer. The first atty I found did not do real estate law & recommended that I'd go "around the corner" to another law firm. The BEST advice ever given me. The help I needed was with the mgmt of an appt dwelling that would no longer renew my lease. So what I decided to do was buy a house (MY HOME) Mr O'Rourke knew that his new client was in despair & with that in mind he took my confidence in him & steered it smoothly along the path to me becoming a homeowner (hidden desire I held for years) Mr O'Rourke's patience, concern, compassion, wisdom, expertise & professionalism was the strength I needed to give me the confidence I could do this. Approx 8 yrs later I am grateful that I went "around the corner" & met the man who changed my life for the better.....forever ! Mr O'Rourke you kept telling me to "Grab Life", well I did !! Thank you.

I mention this 1) so that you make sure to check out the other pages (search for "levin law" or "yevgeny" - all 1 star reviews) and 2) because they removed my negative review based on "it was posted on 2 different companies so it must be fake." I'd guess they are taking down many negative reviews based on this flimsy excuse, so be aware. So....here's my experience. I was a seller, trying to do a sale of my apartment. I had a buyer lined up and ready to go, so it was lawyer time. Great! And they're cheap, how complicated could a straightforward apartment sale be for a company that obviously churns them out? The problem came when my buyer got spooked by some of the language in the contract they received. I don't know if it was their lawyers being dumb, or something the Levin firm had done because NO ONE WOULD TALK TO ME. It's even possible they were doing some kind of amazing job behind the scenes, but I'd never have known it. Because: I literally never got any contact with an actual lawyer. I called, I emailed, I had my broker call and email. Nothing. This despite the promises they make on their website. In fact, I'd probably let it all go if they didn't guarantee in writing that you will have a lawyer's phone number and be able to contact one directly when you need to, because that is NOT the case.

Wasn't sure what to expect going in but they made it pretty clear early on that they knew what they were doing. They were thorough in a way I really appreciated. Asked the right questions, flagged things I never would have caught on my own, and walked me through everything without making me feel like I was wasting their time. For a first time buyer that kind of guidance is genuinely invaluable. Communication was solid throughout. Always felt like they were on top of it and I never had to chase anyone down for an update which honestly was a relief given how much is moving at once during a closing. Real estate transactions can get complicated fast and it helps to have people who have clearly done this many times but still treat your deal with real attention. that's exactly what I got here. Would absolutely use them again and will be recommending them to anyone I know buying or selling

I hate to write a 1-star review, but I feel it is my duty to share my horrible experience and let…read moreothers be aware of who they are really dealing with. I wish I could say he was at least a nice guy, but I can't -- Matthew Tannenbaum is not a nice guy, and he's a bad lawyer. I honestly can't believe I let him sweet-talk me into being my attorney. I'm an amateur landlord, and I thought hiring an "experienced" eviction lawyer would help me navigate a stressful situation. Instead, he took advantage of me the same way my tenant had been doing for years. From day one, things went downhill after I sent my first retainer installment. Once he got my money, he became almost impossible to reach. Calls were routed through an answering service, and every time I managed to get him on the phone, he rushed me off within 15 minutes -- often sighing, sucking his teeth, and reminding me he "doesn't care" and that it's "my decision what to do." That is not what you want to hear from someone you've just paid thousands of dollars to represent you. After paying him more than $3,000, I expected at least some level of courtesy and communication. Instead, he dismissed me and my family as if we were nothing. He even tried to debate how much I had actually paid him, completely disregarding the thousands I had already given. To make matters worse, his own typographical error on the court application delayed my case by a month, costing me an additional $1,600 in state taxes. And yet, he acted as if he was doing me a favor and had "waived" his fees, when the reality is his mistakes were costing me. Some of the most outrageous moments: Before trial, he told me repeatedly that he "doesn't care what happens" and that "if you don't like it, you can release me and get a new attorney tomorrow." He actually said to me: "Don't be a landlord. It costs a lot of money to be one, so don't do it." I had already paid him thousands, and this was the advice I was getting. He told me to "just leave the guy alone" when I asked about storage, as if I was the aggressor and my tenant -- who was living rent-free in my home -- was the victim. He filed my sheriff's eviction request late (two days after I gave him the fee), which landed on a weekend and then a holiday, gifting my nightmare tenant an extra 3 days in my house to cause damage. Despite me asking, he failed to tell me in advance that I would be responsible for paying the tenant's movers and one month of storage. I only found out days before the eviction, and the bill came to well over $5,000. Ironically, my squatter ended up with a better moving service than I use for myself. He insisted eviction records and credit impacts are "myths," and pushed settlement. But what's the point of an eviction if it doesn't deter horrible tenants? I thought this process would put something on my tenant's record, yet my tenant walked away scot-free while I lost tens of thousands of dollars. And here's where it gets even worse: my tenant actually admitted on video that he personally knew my lawyer, since they worked in the same building. That's not speculation -- that's a fact. Knowing this, it's hard not to question why my lawyer consistently acted in ways that benefited my tenant, even if indirectly. Whether intentional or not, the result was the same: my tenant got to stay in my house longer, cost me more money, and walked away with more than he ever should have. Throughout the entire case, Matthew Tannenbaum gave my tenant every advantage while treating me -- his paying client -- with disrespect and neglect. He was more of a salesman than an advocate. You'll get more useful advice from strangers on Reddit than from him. I have every receipt and proof to corroborate this bad experience. If challenged, I can back up every claim I've made here. If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid Matthew Tannenbaum at all costs. Save yourself the stress and go with someone who will actually have your back, not your tenant's.
