Caring and hard working

I was involved in an auto accident where the other driver and his attorneys were completely unwilling to accept any fault, I was hesitant to hire an attorney because of a bad past experience. Levinson Law group came highly recommended to me so I decided to at least go to the free consultation. His bu...ilding is fairly easy to find. I entered his office and was immediately greeted and offered a drink. I waited about 5 minutes and was led down the hallway to a presentation room where I was the star! I felt important and did not feel like a burden to their office. On the table was a massive spread of snacks. I met Gordon and Shannean and both were so warm and welcoming. I was asked the circumstances of the accident and they wanted all details which told me they were interested in not only having a "winnable" case but were also interested in getting justice for me. I have never met someone who was so invested in his potential client but you can just tell it's not just money for him, he cares about doing what's right. He showed me a video and handed me a book that he himself created!! Nothing went unsaid and everything you could imagine wondering was covered but he still took the time to explain the procedure and time frames to me. I was still in the middle of treatments so there was a brief period when my case was on pause. When my treatment was done I contacted them and they got straight to work, within what seemed like only a weeks time they had an extremely thorough demand letter written to the defendants attorney and when I say they changed their tune.... They did a complete 180 I still have the copy they gave me of that letter because I was just so amazed at how thorough it was. I'm a very patient person but throughout the period of waiting for my case to settle I would do period "how's it going" calls and was also able to talk to either Hillary or Shannean, never an answering machine or "I'll have her call you back" every thing I would think of to speed the case up Shannean had already taken care of, I was never needed to follow up on anything which was so reassuring as I have always had to be my own advocate. My medical insurance had 30 days to submit the bill they had covered in order to get reimbursed so that was a little stressful, however 10 days into the 30 days I was contacted and told to come in because they had my check ready for me!! When I found out how much they had gotten me I was floored! I never even imagined it coming close to that amount. I have a stack of his business cards and his book in my car at all times just in case anyone ever needs it. I cannot explain what an easy, stress free experience it was being represented by his office I hope I never need him again but if I do I know I will be in great hands

Excellent California Attorney for your Personal Injury and Civil Litigation Needs

Mr. Levinson is one of the best civil litigation attorneys I have had the pleasure to work with. He is very professional in all his dealings, understands the intricate details of his area of practice, and is well respected and admired in the local community. I trusted him with my own personal injury ...case after I was no longer an intern in his offices, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results he produced on my behalf. I continue to unequivocally recommend Mr. Levinson to others, including friends and family, and I take it as an honor to have had an opportunity to work with and learn from this man as a law student.
