Somebody knocks the hammer of justice while holding a book

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.

This arrangement allows our clients to keep their money when they need it most, and for our firm to dedicate the necessary resources to litigate a case. 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.

"At no time during this whole event have we ever felt more certain that you were the right lawyer for our case."
After 2 months of this case being over finally…It feels great not to have to look forward to another doctor’s appointment, deposition, paper filing, etc. While we tried not to “live the accident” every day it was always “there”…we find that the additional financial security that the settlement has given us is enjoyment enough. For this, again, our thanks and appreciation for all you did. At no time during this whole event have we ever felt more certain that you were the right lawyer for our case.

"My mind is still reeling from what you did yesterday. It was magic!"
My mind is still reeling from what you did yesterday – it was like watching David Blaine or Chris Angel in a suit – your eyes know what they’re seeing but your mind is telling you it’s impossible. It was magic!

"Whether it was with your humor or just answering our endless questions, you made the situation seem a little lighter."
I am writing this on behalf of Pam and myself. We wanted to take a minute to thank you for making what was a horrible experience just a little bit better. Whether it was with your humor or just answering our endless questions, you made the situation seem a little lighter. You put 5 1/2 years of work into a case that, at times, seemed to be a no win situation. For that we owe you. From our first meeting, you had a way of putting a spin on things that actually made the situation funny at times. Even when we were at our worst and ready to just give, you pulled something else out that gave us hope again. Your work with Pathkar and Healthcare Recoveries was exceptional. I couldn’t ask for anything else. Your final bill was just and fair. We both know how hard you worked on our behalf. Believe me, it did not go unnoticed. So I thank God we got you as our attorney. I don’t know how many others would have put in the time or dedication as you did. Please don’t change a thing about the way you practice law. You truly give personal injury lawyers a good reputation in practicing the way you do.
Marianne and Pamela
"Thank you for all you’ve done for us. Without you we were helpless."
Thank you for all you’ve done for us. Without you we were helpless. We would never have received the justice you won for the terrible deaths of Bobby and Dennis.

"The constant professionalism and attention to every detail did not go unnoticed. I truly appreciate all his efforts in securing, what I consider a fair and equitable settlement."
Just a little note to say thank you to both Ron Grayzel and his staff for the excellent service I received from the firm. The constant professionalism and attention to every detail did not go unnoticed. I truly appreciate all his efforts in securing, what I consider a fair and equitable settlement. Should the need arise, I will not hesitate to contact your firm.
