- Former Client
"I was referred to the Levinson Axelrod law firm by my labor union in 2016. Brett Greiner was the attorney for my personal injury claim that was resolved in 2020. My case was complex and Attorney Greiner was able to simplify the case by applying his unique talents and knowledge of both Federal and New Jersey State Law. I cannot express the joy I felt when we were successful and I was compensated fairly based on my Doctor’s assessment of my injuries. It is Brett’s strategic mind and his ability to apply the law in an efficient and professional manner that got me the outcome I deserved. I offer attorney Greiner my greatest gratitude and sincerest recommendation."
