Bruce Levitt was already famous by the time I first met him… he’s the lawyer that won the Kemp v. Countrywide case a few years back. Â Kemp was one of the earliest big wins in the foreclosure defense wars… remember the name Linda DiMartini? Â Of course you do.
Well, when he’s not in court litigating or handling a bankruptcy, he’s in his office counseling someone on their options for avoiding foreclosure, so you can call his firm when you need help getting your loan modified or negotiating a short sale too.
 I’ve spent a lot of time talking to a lot of lawyers, as you might imagine… and Bruce and I have spent many hours on the phone… and I can tell you that I honestly believe that it’s actually possible that he might have been born an exceptionally smart lawyer.  Like, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that in 3rd grade he raised his had and told his teacher that she lacked foundation.
Okay, I’m kidding… sort of… he’s just a really smart lawyer. Â He’s one of the lawyers I call when I need someone to explain some arcane legal nuance that I don’t understand in the least. Â He’s exceptionally good at explaining legalese in good old American English. Â I’ve known him for several years now, and he’s never once answered a question I asked him in Latin. Â And I know homeowners will appreciate that.
Bruce is a bankruptcy lawyer, a litigator and a pragmatist… he’s just a natural problem solver for regular people. Â I think it’s because he’s very good at asking the right questions, that he always gets to the right answers.
If I were a homeowner in New Jersey at risk of foreclosure, I wouldn’t even think about calling anyone but Bruce, and I’m quite serious about that. Â If for some reason he hadn’t agreed to be my “trusted attorney” for the State of New Jersey, I wouldn’t have a trusted attorney for the State of New Jersey.
By the way, his wife is a lawyer as well, but her education and background is in social work, which makes them seem like a couple with the ideal skill set for helping fix what’s ailing in New Jersey. Â Call them… either one will be fine.
No matter what you say to Bruce about your situation, his answer always reminds you that the banks have done a lot worse. Â And since IÂ already know how your call with Bruce or his wife will go…
So, your welcome.
