I hired this law firm to represent me in my first-ever DUI case, hoping that paying for private counsel would mean stronger support and better results than a public defender. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The communication was minimal, the defense felt generic and passive, and in the end, the outcome was no better than what I could have received from a public defender—for a lot less money.
What made this worse was what happened after I left an honest 3-star review. Someone from the firm reached out—not to truly address my concerns—but to pressure me into removing it because it was hurting their perfect Google rating. Also offered me money to take down my review which left me thinking how many of these “5 star reviews” are real. I was told they might be able to help me, but only after I completed two years of probation. The entire conversation felt more like damage control than any real effort to make things right.
This experience was disappointing from start to finish. I felt misled, underrepresented, and ultimately used. I would not recommend this firm to anyone who expects real advocacy or accountability.
RESPONSE TO HART- It's truly remarkable that you responded after we had already discussed via text that I would not be accepting your offer to remove my review.Also, I was under the impression that attorneys were ethically prohibited from disclosing details of a client's case.
But perhaps that standard doesn't apply here?
Owner response
Hi Leslie, while I firmly disagree with your accusations, I understand you feel that you could have hypothetically achieved the same result using the public defender. It's important to note that DUI cases can be more difficult to fight in court with aggravating factors like accidents, hit and run causing injury, or high alcohol levels, i.e. I remain dedicated to helping you, which is why I offered to reopen your case if you'd like, free of charge. You can reach out to me personally anytime if you have any questions or need any help. Sincerely, Hart
Hart’s firm is impeccable. They took control of everything and helped me remain calm throughout the entire process. This being my first offense, I didn’t know who to turn too.
Answered all my questions; great communication.
Speedy with updates.
Amazing team.
My case ended up being dismissed! I will forever trust and recommend Hart’s firm.
Amazing work! From start to finish everything was so smooth and easy, Charles Farris made this case so easy and even though my case took many twist and turns that we’re typically unexpected he managed to easily work through them and get us exactly what we wanted with little to know other repercussions. Can’t really ask for a better outcome. Highly recommended.
I found this practice online and I was really happy with my choice. Without going into detail, I requested a case to be expunged from my record. Emailed them, they obtained basic information - I didn't even have my case # because my previous lawyer was so difficult to deal with. Everything was done through email, and 2 months later, my record was dismissed - not expunged - dismissed!
Hart Levin was great in explaining to me the results and I'm really happy that I went through this process with them.
I am extremely pleased with their services! I was notified with updates regarding my case every month. I highly recommend their business, very professional and I was able to walk away with no DUI on my record 🙌. Thank you so much Hart for you and your team!
Respectfully
Nicole
Attorney Hart Levin is ‘One in a million chance of a Lifetime’ legal minds who represented my son (BLACK) in the Halls of Justice - royally!!
I am a Black Mother who needed extraordinary legal representation for my dear son - God sent Attorney Hart Levin and his excellent/friendly staff!!! My son’s friends told him that he is the best!! First time ever for my son - this hiccup in his life. When he called me, he stated that he had found the ‘right answer’ - Attorney Hart Levin. After speaking with Attorney Hart, I felt a ‘peace’ in the mist of the storm.
As Attorney Levin educated us relative to the process, we knew that he studied the ‘law’, knew how to convey to us information, and knew his ‘stuff’.
Attorney Hart Levin delivered a positive outcome for my son so that he can continue to make a positive difference in this life!!!!
When one has Black children and children of color, parents’ must stand vigilant and find the Hart Levin’s - attorneys- in this world.
This is why I am singing ‘One in a Million chance of a Lifetime’ some lyrics from the song - ‘One in a Million You’ by Larry Graham. Thank you Attorney Hart Levin and many blessings over your law firm.
Hart and his team are simply the best! They were able to help me get the outcome I wanted. Very fast and thorough work. I couldn’t ask for more in a legal team. I’m definitely going to recommend Hart in the future to my friends and family!
Hiring the Law Office of Hart J Levin was the best decision I made. After getting the run around and priced gouged from my previous lawyer, The Hart Law Firm was recommended to me. I immediately saw results in my case and all my questions were answered. I highly recommended the Hart Law Firm for fair pricing and positive results. Thank you Heart for your sevice!
The staff was very responsive and Hart Levin was very helpful with my case. I got the result I needed. I would recommend this attorney if you are stuck in a jam, need advice, and someone to represent you. Thanks for the great work!
Hart was extremely helpful with my case. He was always available for consultation and gave me multiple plausible options for going forward. If I am ever in need again he is who I will consult and I recommend you do as well!
