Raphaelson & Levine Law Firm: Best Lawyers in America®

Founded in 1992, Raphaelson & Levine Law Firm has stood as "The Voice of the Injured" for thousands of New Yorkers, securing over $1 billion in compensation for individuals that have been seriously injured on the road, at work, on the jobsite, and on unsafe properties..

Our legal team, led by partners Howard Raphaelson and Andrew Levine, comprises award-winning injury and accident attorneys who are not just professionals but compassionate advocates.

We believe that personal injury goes beyond legal disputes. It's about the lives disrupted, the dreams deferred, and the futures at stake. This understanding drives our approach as confidants, advocates, and, most importantly, your voice.

With convenient office locations in Manhattan, Queens, and on Long Island, we handle all types of serious and catastrophic personal injury claims, including car accident injuries, truck accident injuries, motorcycle accident injuries, construction injuries, MTA injuries, bike accident injuries, pedestrian accident injuries, slip & fall injuries, defective product injuries, wrongful death claims, and medical negligence.

Our dedication to legal excellence has earned our team consistent recognition, with regular nominations among the best personal injury lawyers in New York and accolades from industry magazines and national reviews.

But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to our clients.

We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll an accident can take, and we are here to alleviate these burdens.

With a "No Win, No Fee" guarantee, you only pay when if we win. Our clients rest assured that they are in the best hands.

Our track record of over $1 Billion in verdicts and settlements speaks volumes.

From securing $8,500,000 for a young child injured in a building collapse to a $5,750,000 settlement for an HVAC contractor injured at a construction site, our results demonstrate our dedication and expertise.

We are honored and humbled as recipients of multiple Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America awards. But our true reward lies in the smiles of our clients, the lives we've changed, and the justice we've championed.

If you've been injured, you deserve a voice.
