The Law Offices of Neil D. Levinson will represent your Personal Injury legal matters.

How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

I decided on my primary specialty to protect people from unfair treatment by law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies.

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

I make an effort to educate my clients about the legal issues that relate to their case so they can meaningfully assist in their defense. The self-help philosophy I encourage my clients to adopt is to understand how they have contributed to being in the situation that has resulted in charges against them (i.e., to be aware of any personal problems (involving money, career, family).

Is your firm willing to review documents prepared by clients?

It is an essential part of effectively representing clients charged with crimes.

Is your firm willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

I am happy to assist clients who want to represent themselves, but encourage them not to do so. The decision to coach a client who wants to represent him/her self depends on the type of crime they are charged with.
