Effective Representation

My personal attorney referred Lee Livingston to me. I found Lee a thoughtful listener to my grievance. He then counseled me on what he thought would be the optimal case to pursue. [By optimal I mean the least costly to me that was also most likely to achieve the result I was seeking.] The successf...ul conclusion of my case is testimony to his wisdom. Although my contact with Lee was all by telephone I always felt well informed either by calls from him or with his paralegal, Christy. Although I hope not to have a similar medical grievance in the future, if I do, I will immediately call Lee for his guidance. And if thinks there is a case to be made, I would hire him.

An excellent attorney

Thank you, Lee, for a job well done! You took my case when others doubted my situation. From start to end, you constantly and consistently maintained a high level of professionalism, and were always reassuring when I became worried, impatient, or sometimes, just discouraged. The work you did behind t...he scenes was simply amazing. A true testament to your work ethic, diligence, and ability to acquire information that was invaluable towards resolution. Thank you for your kindness, patience, encouragement, and above all, the hope you kept alive throughout the process. I could not have wished for better representation. Thank you again. You were the best advocate for me.

Class Act, Master of his Trade, Caring, and Ethical

Mr. Livingston is exceptionally skilled at his craft. He represented me in a medical malpractice lawsuit. I was permanently injured, and his expertise allowed me to obtain justice. What I appreciate most about him is that he is ethical and only takes legitimate cases. When he represents you, you ...will be in good and caring hands. I highly recommend him!

A scholar, a gentleman and a damn good lawyer!

Lee Livingston is one of the finest attorneys that I have had the privilege to know. My case was complex, and I was a witness who faltered and waffled back and forth as to whether or not to proceed. Lee's clarity and skill brought me back from the brink on numerous occasions, both pre-trial and durin...g the trial. I was a complete wreck - but thanks to Lee's superior work and reassuring demeanor, he held me steady, all the way through to justice and a verdict on my behalf.

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.
