Meet Your NYC Legal Team
After a serious accident, many people are in desperate need for the financial support that comes from a successful result of their personal injury claim. To ensure that you have the best chance at obtaining the compensation you deserve, your lawyer should be just as invested in your case as you are.
At Daniella Levi & Associates, P.C., headquartered in New York City, we believe strongly in upholding the rights of accident victims. We are dedicated advocates for each one of our clients, fighting, using every available resource, to obtain the compensation they deserve.
What Makes Us Different?
Most accident attorneys know the law, and many have a fair amount of experience. While both of these characteristics are important in a lawyer, they constitute only a part of what it takes to ensure a good experience.
At our law firm, we provide personal attention from a team of dedicated professionals, aggressive advocacy, open communication and caring guidance. We know how stressful it can be to seek legal guidance while you are already facing serious physical and financial challenges. We do what it takes to carry the burden for you.
We use a team approach
We believe in the power of teamwork, which is why every client of ours has an entire team of attorneys, paralegals, investigators and support staff working on his or her case. We have found that working in teams gives our clients the best chance at a favorable outcome.
You will know your team
At our firm, you will not meet your attorneys for the first time when your case is halfway over, or even possibly later. In fact, you will meet your entire team during your free consultation, and you will always speak to one of them when you call.
We work efficiently
We know how
important it is to resolve your case quickly. We do not waste time when
working toward a settlement. We strive to keep your case moving forward
constantly. We are proactive,
not reactive.
We are aggressive
We
want what is best for you. To us, that means doing whatever it takes to
get maximum compensation. We never hesitate to spend money on behalf of
our clients if it means improving their
chances of success.
