Professional and Caring Attorney

I was struck by a vehicle while crossing in a cross walk. Gordon Levinson was professional, caring and walked me through the whole process for recovery and settlement. Highly recommend him and his staff.

Trusted experience for many years

Gordon Levinson is a tremendous Personal injury lawyer who has worked for the big insurance companies in the past and since then has represented people against big insurance companies. He knows both sides and will use his knowledge in your favor. I first hired Gordon for an auto accident over a deca...de ago. I was impressed by the personal service I received from his staff and especially Gordon himself. He was honest and walked me through expectations and time frames. In the end, I was extremely pleased with the service and my compensation. I have referred Gordon over the years several times to family members, friends and people who I run across that need his help. I always receive positive feedback after referring him. I've been told and have experienced how he personally will keep you in the loop and up to date on the progress of your case. It's a great feeling to know your lawyer makes time for you and will answer any of your questions but most of all be thorough to carefully examine the details regarding your situation. My last experience was amazing. Two years ago I was injured while riding my bike. I was struck by an object from a passing truck and tossed off my bike. It resulted in a severe shoulder injury. I was on a rural road and called the police but it was to late to track down the vehicle. I was not only hurting physically but financially too as the medical bills were adding up. I was told by most people that there wasn't much I could do and I'd have to absorb the building costs and pain resulting from the accident. I gave Gordon a call to see if there was any help I could explore. He shared with me there were some options we could look into even though most people. He invested time in my situation and worked on it for months knowing if I wasn't compensated there would be no fee to me for his services. In the end I was handsomely compensated. I can't thank him enough and couldn't be more sincere in my praises for him. Don't hesitate to contact him for any of your personal injury needs. You'll feel the same as I do I'm certain.

Review of Gordon Levinson

I engaged the services of Gordon Levinson a few months back after a car accident and it has turned out to be a very positive experience. I am a busy professional and my time is very valuable. I was immediately overwhelmed with all the information from the other accident victims, other insurance compa...nies as well as emergency room and doctor bills. Once I turned by case information over to Gordon, I was free of the intricate process and he has handled ALL of the details. Gordon and the Levinson Law Group staff have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I have since referred a close family friend. She is receiving the same exceptional treatment and service. I highly recommend the services of Gordon Levinson!
