Every call begins the same way, with one question: how can I help you? The free call runs ten minutes, directly with Scott Levine. Its purpose is to confirm that your matter belongs in this practice and to point you toward the proper next step, along with what it costs. Legal advice is given in a Strategy Session. Each matter receives one free call.
$500 · One hour · By phone, direct with Attorney Levine.
No two consultations raise the same questions. Some people already know they want a divorce and want the next steps. A spouse with substantial income often wants to know the financial exposure. Many of our clients want specific information delivered without emotion, with the black and white laid out and the gray explained, and they make businesslike decisions that rest on the numbers. Others arrive frightened about the future. A session may cover one issue or several, whether it is dividing the marital estate, support, alimony, the house, custody, or a settlement agreement already drafted. The answers come from doing this work every day: concise answers to situations we have seen many times, and careful review of the ones we have not.
How it works: send the request below. Attorney Levine replies with a time, and you pay through LawPay once the time is set. Attorney Levine is often in court, so sessions are set schedule permitting, often the same day or the next, and confirmed by you. A conflict check is run before the session; if it prevents the session, nothing is owed. Booking a session does not retain the firm. Whether we go further is decided afterward, by both of us.
A half-hour session at $250 is available when the full hour is not needed.

“He was the quarterback that my daughter and I needed for our team. If he said that he would do something, he did exactly that. … All of Scott’s reviews are 5-star. I thought ‘No way.’ I was wrong.”
Kevin, Divorce Client
“Mr. Levine is the calm in the storm and I was blessed to find him. So patient and willing to explain how things work. He is strategic, invested and tenacious. I can only reiterate all the other 5 star reviews.”

Note in your submission when a matter is urgent, and it moves up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About the Process
Can I bring documents to a paid session?
Yes. If a complaint, custody order, MSA, or correspondence is central to the matter, send it when you schedule so it is on hand. Documents are reviewed with you during the session.
Are sessions held in person or by phone?
By phone. Office meetings at the Bakery Square location are reserved for retained clients.
My matter is in Westmoreland (or another surrounding county). Can you help?
For paid consultation, document review, and second-opinion services, yes, on the same structure as Allegheny County matters. For court representation outside Allegheny County, no; the firm's court practice is exclusively Allegheny County.
What if my matter is urgent?
Indicate urgency in the Quick Contact form or on the free call. Active PFAs and other time-sensitive matters go to the front of the line.
What happens if there is a conflict?
If the conflict check prevents the session, the fee is returned in full. We cannot say why, and you should not read anything into it; a conflict means only that the office has a duty to someone else.
What if I miss my session?
Sessions are set schedule permitting and confirmed by you. A session missed without notice is not rebooked; the fee is returned in full, and the time is offered to someone else.
What if I have several related matters?
One hour usually covers a single matter. If you have several separate but related matters, we say so on the call and arrange a longer first session, or a second meeting at the same rate, as the calendar allows.
