Firm Information
Overview
We understand it is very difficult to face overwhelming debt and the possibility of losing your home. Our founding attorneys, Bruce Levitt and Shelley Slafkes, dedicate their entire practice to bankruptcy law, foreclosure defense and related issues. No matter what types of financial problems you may be facing or how insurmountable they may seem, do not lose hope. Help is available!
Experience Honesty Integrity Respect
Our bankruptcy law firm is different from other firms because our attorneys are committed to finding the right solution for each client. Many bankruptcy and foreclosure defense lawyers are content to categorize a client under Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13, file the petition and collect their fee without considering the larger implications and the client's personal goals.
At Levitt & Slafkes, P.C., we work closely with all of our clients and get to know them as people. We gain a complete understanding of their concerns and what they hope to accomplish through bankruptcy. We take a more holistic approach and develop a customized solution that seeks to provide for all of their current and future needs.
To learn more about our debt resolution services and how we can help you make a fresh start, contact our Maplewood office and schedule a free consultation with one of our bankruptcy law attorneys.
We are proud to be a federally designated debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
