Services
During his 30-year legal career, attorney Bruce Levitt has focused on bankruptcy, debtor/creditor rights, foreclosure defense, and bankruptcy and commercial litigation. He developed his skills while representing debtors, creditors and bankruptcy trustees while working in several large law firms. In 1995, he founded Levitt & Slafkes, P.C., pursuing his passion of helping individuals and small businesses solve their financial problems.
Why do I need a lawyer? We often work with clients who initially asked this question before they saw us. We also regularly work with clients who tried to file bankruptcy on their own. Often the experience of people who have tried to do it themselves serves as the cautionary tale that convinces people to work with an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
At Levitt & Slafkes, P.C., our foreclosure defense attorneys act aggressively to protect our clients from losing their homes to foreclosure. Our attorneys, Bruce Levitt and Shelley Slafkes, treat each client as an individual and effectively leverage their knowledge and experience to craft individually customized strategies.
When your home loan payment is unaffordable, a mortgage modification may reduce your monthly payment to a manageable amount, allowing you to stay in your home. Hiring a loan modification attorney makes this process easier, smoother, and less stressful. Mortgage modification lawyers specialize in helping clients in your exact situation.
For more than 30 years, the attorneys of Levitt & Slafkes, P.C., have delivered custom legal representation to businesses in Essex County and throughout New Jersey. We draw on our bankruptcy practice to protect clients' interests in litigation matters that involve bankruptcy and general commercial disputes.

I have had the pleasure of working with this law firm on two occasions. Levitt & Slafkes treated me like I was a family friend. Always helpful and responsive, never pushy or judgemental. They gave me advice, guidance, and were always upbeat and positive in my interactions with them. They handled my matters efficiently and professionally, and answered all my questions. There are many law firms to choose from, but Bruce Levitt and Shelley Slafkes really care about their clients. I could not be more pleased, nor can I thank them enough for the help and relief they provided to me and my family.

The best experience I have ever had with a lawyer. Bruce and Shelley were so patient, understanding, and always there for me with my thousands of questions. They supported me through my bankruptcy from start to finish, and even after. Out of the tons of lawyers I called when considering bankruptcy they were the only ones I felt I could truly trust and I was so right. Absolutely amazing team.

This firm is amazing! Compassionate and very personable, easy to reach unlike other attorneys. I didn’t know what to expect prior to walking in that office. Mr. Levitt and Ms.Sflakes really lifted all the weight and stress off my shoulders. A process that is usually intimidating went smooth all because of them. Definitely recommend!

When you're dealing with the pressure of how to figure things out that are out of your area of expertise, such as a bankruptcy and how that will affect you, you need gentle, patient people to guide you. I must say, Levitt & Slafkes, P.C. is the place to go. No question is a dumb question, and responsiveness to calls and emails are above average. You'll be in good hands. Thank you Shelley and Bruce.
