Attorney Gabriel Levin is known as a tenacious fighter who protects his client's interests as though they were his own; he has tried hundreds of cases and handled all types of criminal matters, from misdemeanors to major felony trials. Mr. Levin prides himself on preparing every case for trial. In criminal matters, he prepares with the assumption that his clients will plead not guilty and in civil cases he works under the belief that the defendant will not settle and the case will be decided by the jury. Clients know that Gabriel Levin is a very responsive attorney, keeps client fully informed, and always gets back to them in a timely manner.
