Case: Lingual Nerve Damage

I actually found Mr. Dane Levy's website while searching on google.com about dental malpractice in 2009. Although I didn't know if I would have a claim or not, I decided to contact him via email. I got a response from him within an hour. I told him my condition, which I explained happened after ha...ving had my wisdom teeth removed. He asked that I meet with him in person to go over all of the details. He was not only compassionate to my plight, but was knowledgeable about my condition. Finally I had a name with what was wrong with me, Lingual Nerve Damage. I found he had a great knowledge in Dental Medicine, but was friendly and personable, which is very important to me. He told me right off the bat that if I wanted to work with him, then he works for me, and I could reach out to him at any time, for any little question. I did have many little questions over the next year and a half. Never did I feel like any of my questions were dumb or silly, and he helped me prepare for the long road ahead. I never had a problem reaching him either, whether he answered my call or email directly, or I reached his assistant, my questions were always answered in a very timely manner. If you are looking for a lawyer who is not just looking for a "meal ticket", then Dane is your man. It's been a pleasure working with him, I highly recommend giving him a call if you need help in his field. I myself will be recommending him to any I meet who might need his services.

Attorney Dane Levy For Dental Malpractice

I have never had a dental problem in my life. I had a Wisdom Tooth removed last year and I was concerned about the numbness in my tongue that would not go away after the extraction. My dentist kept telling me it was "normal!" I believed her for about a week and then I started getting concerned. ...Good thing I found Attorney Dane Levy on the internet and had a consultation with him. My dentist completely severed my nerve and I have permanent numbness and lack of taste as a result! Good thing I didn't just put up with this because the dentist said it was "normal!" Dane is an outstanding attorney and he is extremely knowledgeable! Even though I have to live with this numbness, I was compensated thanks to Dane. He is very dedicated to his work and he was always in contact with me regarding my case via telephone and email! I would recommend him to anyone!

Great Honest Attorney!

My lingual nerve was severed during a wisdom tooth extraction. The dentist who severed it did not seem to take it seriously and did not refer me to an oral surgeon. I needed help and decided to search for an attorney who could refer me to a good oral surgeon. I found Dane's website and gave him a cal...l. I spoke with the receptionist, who was very nice, and Dane called me back within ten minutes. He got me in touch with a great oral surgeon that did an amazing surgery to reconnect my severed nerve. Although my tongue will never be 100% back to normal, it is MUCH better than it was before the surgery. And it keeps getting better! Dane filed a lawsuit on my behalf and was realistic about the possible outcome. He did not overpromise or exaggerate. He was very honest and expected me to be very honest also. In fact, I don't think Dane would take a client who was being dishonest. I believe this gives him respect in the industry and allows him to settle cases quickly. My case settled less than five months after the lawsuit was filed. Dane gave me his cell phone number and kept me posted on everything that was going on with the case. He was very professional and very knowledgeable about the law and the dentist profession..

I would recommend

My case involved a bad implant procedure. I found Dane to be extremely knowledgeable of this dental procedure. Without any research he understood the physiology of the situation. He also was well connected with experts and was able to build a strong case. As frustrating as lawsuits can be, I neve...r felt that he was not being responsive and representing me well. I had full confidence in his handling of the case and was satisfied with the outcome.
