About us
Levinson Axelrod, P.A. has been fighting for the rights of accident victims, workers, and their families across New Jersey for more than 85 years. Founded in 1939 by Jacob Levinson, our law firm got its start representing injured factory workers in communities throughout Central New Jersey who needed someone to help protect their rights after being injured on the job.
Today, our firm is led by Jacob’s son, Richard Levinson, and has grown into one of the state’s largest plaintiff's personal injury law firms. Since our founding, we have remained a family-operated firm. In our efforts to assist as many people in our community as possible, members of our law firm are fluent in English, Spanish, German, Greek, Russian, and Portuguese.

Attorneys Certified in Civil Trial Law & Workers’ Compensation
Another distinction of our firm is that 10 of our active partners have been certified either in Civil Trial Law or Workers’ Compensation Law in the state of New Jersey. Certification is achieved by only 3% of practicing lawyers, and it is easy to see why—the certification process rigorously evaluates an attorney’s trial experience, performance, and knowledge.
Performance reviews are conducted by the judges before whom an attorney has appeared, as well as the adversaries that have worked against our lawyers. It also includes an extensive written examination that tests an attorney’s expertise in his or her practice area. In the end, when an attorney has achieved certification, it means their opponents and previous judges acknowledged and approved of their legal expertise.
Contingency Fees: If We Don’t Win, You Don’t Pay
When you work with our firm, you never have to worry about affording our services. That’s because:
- We offer free case evaluations via phone, e-mail, or videoconferencing.
- There is no cost to hire our firm and no up-front fees.
- We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only collect a fee if you are compensated.

As one of the largest injury law firms in the state, we have the resources to take on the costs of your case without you having to offer a cent up-front or out-of-pocket. We get paid only if we win.

"If we didn’t have you as our lawyer, maybe I would lose this house in the end. Thanks to you I can stay here."
I appreciate all you did for us. Steve is doing very poorly. I have him in a hospital bed at home. He took care of me for thirty years, so it’s my turn to take care of him. I don’t want to put him in the hospital yet. If we didn’t have you as our lawyer, maybe I would lose this house in the end. Thanks to you I can stay here. You don’t know what that means to me. Thank you again for what you did for us.

"Mark was very understanding of my problem, clear on what needed to be done, obviously very knowledgeable, well organized, and personally a pleasant person."
I wish to let you know the excellent job Mr. Mark Kuminski did with my recently resolved case. I came to your firm about 2 years ago seeking help when I was having problems with medical bills that were not getting paid from slipping on ice in a parking lot and breaking my left ankle. I initially chose your law firm because your web page provided me with helpful advice. Since your firm was willing to be helpful for free to those in distress, I felt I could trust your ability to get my problem resolved. The first time that I met with Mark, he was very understanding of my problem, clear on what needed to be done, obviously very knowledgeable, well organized, and personally a pleasant person. His goal was to give me the direction that I needed and take care of a lot of legal details himself. He was not worried about how much money this could bring in a suit, but instead he was honestly focused on taking the legal burdens off my shoulders. This meant far more than the settlement to me. As the suit progressed, Mark had clear and detailed advice on how to handle the deposition, which was the most nervous I have ever been in my life. His direction gave me the confidence and knowledge to make it through that without faltering. He knew exactly how to take care of every issue in every stage of this case, and he has given me a new appreciation for your profession and our legal system.
