Best PI Attorney around!

I've known, and worked with, Scott for almost 10 years. Last summer, I had to retain him for a personal injury matter for my son. My son is young and Scott was not only efficient and professional, but also caring. It meant the world to our family that he made everything so easy for us after a scary ...car accident. We were so happy with the settlement-it was much more than we had anticipated! I would highly recommend Scott and have referred many friends, family, and even my own clients to him over the years.

Happy to recommend

My son and I were hit by a driver who did not have any insurance. I did not think that we were going to be able to even get our medical bills paid but Attorney Leventhal was able find a way to have my own insurance policy cover these expenses and also put money aside for my son. We are very grateful ...for what he was able to do for us.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've worked closely with Attorney Leventhal in the New Haven County Bar Association for a number of years. He is dedicated and diligent in all that he does. Based on this, as well as his professional experience, verdict record and praise I have heard from prior clients, I recently referred a family member to him, who has been thrilled with his work. I strongly recommend Attorney Leventhal for personal injury matters, complex litigation, and criminal defense matters."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
