He is a member of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association, Connecticut Bar Association, and the National Association for American Justice. Prior to establishing his own law firm, Attorney Levin was associated with the Hartford based law firm of Calvocoressi & Gale.

While in law school he was admitted to the National Order of Barristers for mock trial and moot court accomplishments in numerous competitions across the country. An undergraduate Bachelor's degree was earned with a major in accounting in 1985 from Nova University, located in Davie, Florida.
Attorney Levin has focused his legal practice in the area of personal injury achieving significant jury verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients who brought cases related to medical malpractice, products liability, Construction, and serious motor vehicle accidents. Also, due to a longstanding commitment to workers' rights and the familiarity with workers' compensation issues, serious injuries falling into this category are also accepted.

In addition, we have developed an extensive network of local-based counsel in virtually all regions of Connecticut to service you should that be your preference.

Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I am one of four Connecticut lawyers that started the Baby Formula litigation against infant formula manufacturers. We have filed cases in multiple federal district and state court jurisdictions. I feel that the medical community is already taking a close look at their pre mature infant feeding practices as a result of the notoriety that our efforts have received. We are obviously focused on obtaining financial compensation for the families and children whose claims for death and serious morbidity associated with necrotising enterocolitis we are advancing but its a nice early win I would say.
How did you build a successful practice?
By getting results that exceeded client expectations as often as possible and by being a predictably tough opponent to insurance companies and Defense Firms.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Integrity and passion for the law and interest in their particular case.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
We aim to assess whether legal assistance is likely to be of benefit and the approach we might take to accomplish this. Its not practical to provide opinions on case or settlement value. We answer questions and provide recommendations about how to proceed in most instances. There is no fee for the initial consultation nor obligation created for either the Law Firm or client to move forward.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
Skiing, Traveling, hiking, gourmet food and the company of friends and family
