Steven M. Levin
Levin & Perconti
Steven M. Levin is the co-founder and senior partner of Levin & Perconti, and a trial lawyer with over 40 years of litigation experience and success. In 1992, he and John Perconti founded Levin & Perconti, which has since grown into a thirty-lawyer plaintiff personal injury firm with more than 200 years of combined trial experience. Steve has obtained an extraordinary number of multimillion dollar verdicts and settlements for his clients in a tremendous variety of high-profile personal injury and wrongful death cases, including birth injury, failure to timely diagnose cancer, and workplace negligence. His firm’s most recent victories include a $40 million birth injury verdict, a $29 million settlement on behalf of a child who suffered injuries due to a delayed c-section, and a $17.7 million settlement on behalf of an injured police officer who sustained a brain injury.
Steve has appeared on several news programs for cases that have attracted both local and national attention. Steve is a pioneer in the area of nursing home abuse and neglect and is one of the first attorneys in the country to prosecute these types of cases. He is a founding member and one of the original officers of the American Association for Justice Nursing Home Litigation Group. He has represented hundreds of nursing home residents and their families who have been victimized by improper care and treatment, achieving landmark victories and record-setting verdicts and settlements for his clients in these cases. More importantly, Steve's vigilance in representing such victims has brought national attention to this rampant and unacceptable problem, sending a message that the mistreatment of one of society's most vulnerable groups will not go unnoticed. These cases have raised the standard of care.
