Brian, Norman (Father) and Gilbert (Grandfather) have always championed the underdog and any personal injury victim is exactly that - the underdog going against giant insurance companies.

What experience or education distinguishes your lawyers from others?

Brian Levine has a substantial amount of courtroom experience arguing cases in front of judges; public speaking experience with seminars to the general public and other attorneys; negotiation and settlement experience with 100s of real estate closings and family estates.

He is noted for very calculated strategic planning with his clients to try to obtain the most favorable result in the most cost effective way.

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

Levine Law, LLC is a 3rd generation law firm with nearly 100 years' experience representing both individuals and companies to obtain favorable results both in and out of the courtroom.

Most smaller sized law firms have a generalized practice by nature, meaning that those firms handle any and all areas of practice, regardless of how educated or experience those firms are in those areas. This type of generalized practice makes it very difficult to keep up to date with the constantly changing laws and procedure in all of those practice areas.

Levine Law is distinguished from many other solo practitioners and smaller sized firms because the law firm is not a generalized practice. Instead, the firm intentionally concentrates in very specific areas of the law in order to position itself on the cutting edge of research and important changes taking place in these areas of the law.

Levine Law is further distinguished from other competing firms because the firm is able to offer specialized services in multiple different states, including OH, WV, NY, MI, and CA, through its affiliated relationships with highly experienced attorneys in these other states.
